***Why go to the theater? I suggest you stock up on blank tape and set your VCRs.
Our cable really sucks. Instead we rented a bunch more at $1 a pop.This seems to be a common problem for most people. But are there ANY happy ones? I tried to install the digital dish, but they couldn't - tall trees. They suggested cutting down some 300 years old oak trees, and I know full well they would... just to see the football with good resolution. I passed on that offer.
I have Suburban Cable, and the reception on every channel, except C-span, is simply and completely and always--bad. I've tried everything I can think of: dedicated line with only the TV plugged in and nothing else connected to it, different TVs, isolated grounds, line conditioners, Radio Shack tweaks, nothing makes it better, and nearly everything I do makes it worse. For really good reception on local channels I use indoor rabbit ears. So you're making me think I'm not nuts, it really is the cable companies that don't care about reception. I'm fishing a phone line below the tv so I can hook up the dish. I've decided enough is enough. Tonight I'm going to Crisis Circus and getting the dish, and perhaps a DVD player too. I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more. I'm telling Suburban Cable that 9/9/99 means: STOP PROGRAM!
