Yep, it finally croaked. What’s the BUD you ask? It’s the Big Ugly Dish that we’ve depended on for satellite television service for the past fifteen or so years.
Right now, I’m waiting for the cable installer.
We’d already decided to not renew the subscription to NPS next year, since the pole that holds the dish on is rotting out. I paid by the year to get a nice discount on cost. Well, we won’t be getting a credit, so there’s $600.00 gone. Like Brian said “why pay money to get this thing fixed when we’re getting rid of it anyway?”
Since we’ve got high speed internet and phone service with the cable provider already, we’re able to get a decent price on digital television service. Plus we’ll be getting a high def DVR. So, we can watch one channel while recording two others. Initially, we weren’t going to do that, but last night Brian said he’ll miss being done watching tv by nine. Since we could get the Denver channels, two hours earlier than here. And I explained with the DVR would do and that we could watch the shows the next evening. I mean, it’s not like he has a job where people hang out around the water cooler and talk about what was on last night, you know?
And we’ll also get a bunch of “On Demand” stations for free. Which is pretty nice, I think.
Anyway, waiting for the cable guy.
