servermonkeyWoot! Just picked up and set up a digital cable box from our local Comcast office.
It's amazing to me that people actually pay $9.95 to have the box delivered and installed. A well trained house pet could probably hook up the box to a current entertainment center. Well, maybe it's not quite that easy, but it was clearly labeled, etc. The only major problem is that the co-ax cable supplied wasn't nearly long enough to reach from the digital cable box to the VCR. It made me glad that I'd kept a small collection of co-ax cables in the hall closet.
BBC America, Sundance Channel, and all sorts of movie channels have really made my day today.

our cable internet service is really fast, plus it hasn't gone down yet (well not counting that period of time before we got that direct line into the house cause the cable signal would get lost and dropped somewhere in the basement amongst the tons of splitters and wires).
i think it's a natural tendency of us to say we hate large corporations because deep down they really just want your money. like microsoft products make my life very convienent, but who says they like microsoft!?
