Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh crap. I dodn't realize you meant new eps.

Although some shows show up the next day.

Do you have the physical cable coming into your house, Zen? Sometimes you can get random channels on it even if you aren't supposed to have service. Might be worth checking, anyway.

You might be able to catch Criminal Minds with an antenna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Criminal Minds doesn't air online legally. The showrunner is adamantly unapologetic about that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How does TiVo work? Can I go buy a TiVo and have ot working by tonight?

Dammit, I was really looking forward to watching tv tonight. Why couldn't the stupid cat wait until tomorrow to break the fucking DVR?

Zenkitty,

You have a dish? I'm not sure Tivo works with Dish. You might have to go to the Tivo website to suss this out. Do you have a Best Buy in your area? You might see what kind of DVRs they have.

Oh, is it just the DVR that's a problem, you still get the content? You could get a TiVo today and set it up, but I don't know if it's compatible with the Dish signal.

TiVo site says they don't work with Dish.

How fast do episodes get put up on FastPass?

Also means I lost the last episode of Castle, which I hadn't watched yet.

Comcast can't get anyone out to set cable for days. DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A CRISIS, PEOPLE.

It would be dumb to drive two hours to my sister's place to watch tv, right?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Depends, Zen. But I'm the person who walked three miles each way to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit? at the theater.

It would be dumb to drive two hours to my sister's place to watch tv, right?

I would do it.
