So I have gone through two telephone batteries on the line with tivo trying to get my darned tivo to change channels which it quit doing when Comcast installed the digital box to get me ready for the big digital transition. It has been suggested that I drop tivo and get a dvr directly from Comcast...but I really don't want to do that because when we signed up for tivo 2-3 years ago, we purchased a lifetime membership and there is no bill.
Then it occurred to me that since everything was working before Comcast came and screwed it up, they should fix it. So this afternoon I called 1-800-COMCAST. I had two options.....since this was not comcast equipment, I could have someone come out and fix it for $19.95 or I could join a plan of some sort and I would get a bill for $.99 each month. If I wanted to quit the plan after it was all fixed I could cancel on Monday and I would only get a bill for - are you ready? -3 cents! I chose that option. So she set me up for the plan.....and once I was all set up, we made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon between 2 and 6 PM for the guy to come out and fix me up. The whole thing seems sorta fishy to me but - hey - if it works I will take it.
In other news.....we had bingo in the building last night...so I went down and actually won three of the five games,.,...came home with a boat-load of quarters. Fun, huh?!
I will let you know what happens with the tv/tivo.......
