Yup--cable guy hooked mine up. That's what the instructions say to do, and the anti-monopoly directions say they should without balking.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, guys! I'm pretty sure they'll come out and hook it up--for a fee. But I'll call them just to be sure.

You're already at HD, Cash? They might, then. Mine didn't since I was switching to HD at the time and it was all the one effort.

RCN didn't charge me a setup fee either, but I was also upgrading to digital cable at the time. They do charge me $1.50/month for each of the two cablecards ($3/month total), in addition to the digital cable charge, but I save money by not needing a cable box.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
but I save money by not needing a cable box.
But you're paying a monthly fee to TiVo, right?

Nope -- I got a lifetime subscription, baby!
Which they are now offering again.

Yeah, we're already HD. I think the combination of renting the DVR + their monthly service fee for the DVR "package" comes to somthing like $22/month, so the Tivo deal with the lifetime subscription should pay for itself over the life of the machine.

How do I edit text in a jpg?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You'd have to use some kind of image-editing software to erase what's there and replace it. It's not like the text is stored separately -- it's part of the graphic.
