Digital TV

Yesterday I gave in to my cable tv provider and went to their store to get myself a digital settop box.

I worked some years for the cablecompany at the service disruption desk, and I had learned the digital tv service and settop boxes where buggy as hell and failed a lot.

Apperently they made big improvements. The installation procedure was very sweet (up and running in 5 minutes).

We have around…erm.. don’t know really…about 80 channels now? Some of those are a real plus (BBC world service, Sky News, Fashion TV, Discovery science channel and sci-fi movie channel to name a few) and the image quality is amazing.

I am even considering to write up an email to the cable company to compliment them with the product ;)

(maybe they will give us 2 months for free….)

 

Gargleblaster.org

This is my weblog. I started it around march 2001, shortly after I registered my 1st domain, gargleblaster.org. The name comes from the novel written by Douglas Adams: “the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy”. Besides my daytime job as coder, sysadmin, networkadmin, database-admin and projectmanager (nerf working in a small company), I try to read books, watch movies, listen to music…in other words…enjoy life.
