Cable Follies

Jan 25 Tue (11 PM)

So Amy and I broke down and decided to order cable TV. We're both very interested in getting BlazerVision, the Trailblazers home games channel.

So this morning I call AT&T Cable services (nee <http://www.tci.com> ) and ask to sign up for the expanded basic server (includes the Discovery Channel). They ask for name, credit card number and...

"Address?"

I give her my address, wait a bit and hear,

"Pardon me sir, but we already have that location as having a subscription and activation."

...

So it turns out that for three years, clear TV reception has been but a 32" coaxial cable connection away. This is only the second time I've ever had cable access in the place I've lived. This will be the true test of my self-restraint, because I know just how easily I slip into that TV stupor.

Wish me luck!
