I think if you are not prepared by now, you're too lazy or stoopit to be ready on any date. Whatever happened to "special ed"? Cheese & Rice!

Frankly, I wish they wouldn't do it until they've perfected digital. We have cable, 3 TVs have cable from the wall, and one has a digital box. I can't tell you how often the damn box pixalates (sp?) and the picture gets all screwed up and the sound goes out when it happens. It's very annoying, especially since it costs more. You miss important things being said. I've already had the box replaced more than once. They all do it. Comcast SUCKS. Analog actually works better.
What I really wish they would do is make cable truly competetive. It isn't really now. there can be more than one cable company, but they each have their own territories, they don't directly compete with one another. If this was opened up, they way it should be, the way it was meant to be, I think service would go up and prices would go down.
I also wish you could just pick the channels you want and pay for them, instead of having to pay for 150 channels (or now, 900, with digital. who can watch 900 channels?), when you only watch 12 of them.
I'm thinking of just having high speed internet, and watching everything I want to see on TV over the internet, connected to the TV. Only problem with that is when people are watching different things in different rooms. *sigh*
