So no Comcast TV at the new house. Except for the cable modem that I am using to publish this post. I would have gone for Verizon FIOS here, not to be spitful or anything, but because its a faster product. Alot faster. The problem there: for whatever reason, They have my new address in a different zipcode then my actual zipcode. Annoying.
So how has digital TV over the air been? ABC 6 and WHYY 12 are a bit spotty. I heard on NPR a few weeks ago that since the digital transition, they’ve been having trouble w their transmitters. I hope someone got fired over that. I mean, how long did they know this was coming?
We started using Netflix again. I vowed to never return to this service in 2001 after receiving about 5 scratched, unplayable disks in a row from them. Either I have a much better DVD player now, my choices in DVDs are less common, or they’ve managed to get much better QA in place, because the problem has gone away.
Netflix on demand is also pretty nice. There are not alot of new movies, but there are way more options then say Comcast on Demand has for free.
what we’ve been watching tomorrow.

We don’t have cable (TV) either. Never have.
Just got an HDMI converter for the Macbook. Between Hulu and Netflix, you can’t go wrong.
amazing! i thought this thing was broken.
link pls?
Me – I rigged up the Apple TV and rent from the iTunes store or plug into Hulu via the Boxee hack. Most definitely no need for cable anymore.
