We're Digital!

Hi everybody! Our very exciting news for today is that we have upgraded our Comcast cable for $1.99 to a digital service, instead of whatever we had before. Apparently, a new card thingy plugs right into our Tivo. All I know is we now receive my favorite channels in HD, which is awesome. I will be watching the Twins whoop the White Sox in HD tonight. During commercials of The Office's premiere.

It was not achieved without difficulty though. Jeff has now restarted the Tivo about 8 million times AND we had two technicians visit the house in one day. Two!! Do you know how many minutes on hold, then with customer service it takes to have two technicians come? Thank god my beloved took care of that part - he is much more patient and even-tempered than me.

But, by 7pm yesterday, the HD channels were up! Here are the things that I saw:
1. Locusts swarming, and transforming, on Discovery HD.
Truly terrifying.
2. Rihanna on one of the new MTV HD stations.
Truly thrilling.
3. Poor 'pets' abandoned and mistreated on Animal Planet HD.
Truly sad.
4. Watching Jon Stewart kick butt on Comedy Central digital.
Truly awesome.
5. The Cubbies in HD.
Truly amazing!
