Fun With Technology!
Again, a technology-related mystery, but not as infuriating as a non-working computer. I'm trying to hook up my VCR to my TV, but I have digital cable, and the little box gets angry (as in makes the picture fuzzy) when I hook up my VCR. I guess it does not like having its signal go through it. Meh. Good thing I don't care too much about my VCR. LOL
Digital cable is standard nowadays as far as I was told, so that's what I took. I took the most basic package for 33$. Somehow, I have the time-shifting channels (I can watch channels in central time zones and west coast), which I didn't realize until right now was part of the package. It is pretty neat. I get to have so much more choices than with regular cable. With basic standard cable, I used to pay 25$/month, and get only 28 channels. Now, I have 100 channels! I get channels that I love (like the Comedy Network) in other time zones even though I didn't get that package for my time zone. Not going to try to figure that one out, I'll just enjoy it.

Gen, I am the Queen of hooking up TV's to cable and so forth, if you need help, call me and maybe I can talk you through something. :)
I'm so happy for you.
G, I'm on MSN if you are still around...
It is a nice place, which makes up for some of the crap and unhappiness in my life at the moment.
boo for crap and unhappiness! yay for digital cable!
Gen, my tv does the same thing, because I have it split from the wall into cable and cable modem, it doesn't like being split again from the VCR to the TV and DVD player. I ended up having to move my VCR into the bedroom , where I don't have a cable outlet. Kind of irritating but not unliveable.
Congrats on the new place! XOXOX
My computer started freaking out on me that night. Whenever I hit the letter "p" "qwerp" would show up! Then after I kept trying to hit "p" and get it normal, some Microsoft screen shot pasted in! I was like [Neo]"Whoa"[/Neo]. So I ran scans and then shut it down because it's been overheating.
*sniff* SOrry I missed you.
