I called Comcast as my bundled bill had now gone over $200.
They said I could have HBO.and cut my bill down to $139.
I told them I didn’t like HBO and I’d like to watch less TV not more,They gave me Starz instead.
My 1st bill came to $150.The second bill is up to $172.
I’m quitting this cable one of these days and keeping the internet only.The phone service is lousy and the only shows I seem to watch are ELRaymond and Andy Griffith show.
Gee! I thought my husband did well negotiating with TW. LOL. My cable was out and rebooting did not solve the problem. So, he went down to the sevice center and they gave him 2 new boxes — one of them was a DVR. They cut my price from $216 to around $180. The DVR is free. They gave my husband the NFL channel and gave us HBO and either Starz or Showtime. I haven’t found anything on HBO that I want to watch — a lot of it is soft porn. I’ll have to use a channel blocker before the grandchildren show up here!
But in all this fussing around, I found a new channel — Ovations. I just love the programming. It’s not PBS — but I call it PBS for grown ups and there are some really good shows there. I record them on the DVR and watch them when I’m sick of Fox News!
My new favorite is “The Artful Detective”. It is set in 1890 Toronto and is about a straight laced, Jesuit educated, detective who uses science to solve crimes. We have really come to love that show and we watch it instead of O’Reilly who has become insufferable. The ads for the Artful Detective describe Murdocch (the main character) as “19th century threads with 21st century creds”.
My daughter has watched the Artful Detective series on Netflix because Comcast doesn’t carry it. Her family loves it too.
