More channels!

Woot! 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.

We got our installation for free (hurrah!), but they would only mail us our cable internet stuff if we wanted to do it ourselves. Over a week wait vs 1 day for internet if they came and installed it with the digital cable. Our house was was so horribly wired (6 splitters!) that they even came back and put in a direct line from the street to our internet for free! Wow, I have a good Comcast story... surprising what with the evil control over campus and stuff.

We definitely have that same collection of coaxial cables in our hall closet at home, too.
