Tired of a crappy picture, I went, pissed off, converters in hand,
to quit the local cable company, intending to get a dish instead.
A really patient cable company lady soothed my ruffled feathers
and talked me into digital, which was hooked up within 72 hours.
I couldn't be happier unless they let me have it free. It is
indeed like night and day compared to what we had before. I guess
it depends on the company. We had AT&T Broadband, but I think
we've just been sold to Comcast. Whatever. It works. I've
recorded stuff on SVHS that is almost -- not quite, but almost --
as good on replay as DVD.
