Adiós Comcast... almost

With DirecTV now beaming 500+ channels of goodness into the house, I thought for sure I could finally be rid of the devil called Comcast. Trying to find an reasonable alternative to their cable Internet service, however, has proven to be an exercise in futility. The DSL that is available here just doesn't stack up after a few speed tests. So, for now it's an uneasy truce with the devil I know as I wait impatiently for Memphis to slog its way into the 21st century.

Sometimes things go right

Hard as it is to believe, sometimes things actually go right. I had Direct TV installed this morning and the installer called about 15 minutes before he got here at 8:15 to let me know he was on his way. He did a quick survey of the project and then got to work. Of course it remains to be seen if the damned thing will actually work once the dish is mounted and all the TVs are plugged in. I’m sure that will be a follow-on post.
