That Was Fun

After waxing ecstatic (for us) over FREE DirecTV several items below, we should have expected trouble.

The DirecTV signal from the roof antenna is piggy-backed through the already-there TimeWarnerCable wiring. This worked fine for about four hrs. after the DirecTV installation, then: Tiling & inability to tune some channels from the TWC box. Very lucky for the DirecTV weasels that the RoadRunner Internet access doesn't appear to have suffered.

Now, having decided it wasn't worth the expense, effort & possible criminal penalties to buy a bolt-cutter & snap the lock on the local DirecTV distributor's box so we can free ourselves from their web of digital interference, we're forced to wait until sometime Monday before we'll be able to watch some of the higher-numbered channels through the cable.

We did not need any further proof that the world is shit.
