Adult sized tricycle. I don't have the balance for bicycle.

Huh. I've never considered that as an exercise option, but I really should.

Balance issues too? Excercise bikes are so boring.

I haz a TV question.
A couple of days ago, the HDMI-out from my cable box started acting wonky. It would either display no picture, or a slightly jittery one. (The solution to no picture was turning it off and on again until it worked and gave me the jittery one.)
I swapped the HDMI cable out with the one that was plugged into the DVD player w/ no change. (And the DVD player looked fine with either cable.)
So I swapped the HDMI cable for component and the jitteryness is gone, but I miss my gorgeous HDMI picture (component is fine, but it's noticeably softer and the colors aren't as rich). Is it worth trying a new cable at this point, or should I just call Cablevision and beg for a new box?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
HDMI is digital, so it either works or it doesn't. It sounds like it might be the box that's the problem.

did anyone else see the prototype GM/Segway PUMA? I'd copy/paste, but iPhone can't do that. It looks like a cockpit from the MASH helicopters.

Well, not exactly - you can get digital artifacting without losing the picture entirely (both of which are happening here).
The reason I'm sure it's the box is that switching the cables didn't change anything (the DVDs still look good and the cable crappy), but I'm just as sure that Cablevision won't replace the box if I can watch component video. (Since they don't supply HDMI cables.)
