Who's a happy monkey?

This monkey is.

Rachel just called to have me take care of setting up the installation of TiVo at home (finally!) and to do some prelminary searching on getting her set up with a Nextel.

Now, normally, I'd just get the TiVo and try setting it up on my own, but since we want to move the other receiver into our bedroom, and I can't run coax (or make the cable, really), we're having it installed. I thought there'd be a longer wait, and was surprised that someone will be at our home between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Thursday--which works out well, since I have to be off that afternoon anyway.

Now, to seek out a larger hard drive for the thing. I know Rachel probably won't want to, but it'd be nice to increase the capacity of it, you know?

Hmmm. Now I need two hard drives.

what you need is TiVo and digital cable, then you can have your cake and eat it too.
mmmmmmm cake.

Digital cable?

But. But, I'm happy with DirecTV so far. Much happier than I was with Dish.
