The Cable Guys

(1)

I am pleased to report that the cable guy mentioned last week did indeed show up on monday, bringing help and lots of serious cable. They completely rewired our system and in the process improved reception tremendously. And no cable amplifiers!

Seems the major problem was the inferior store-bought cables I was using. Did you know that most cable you buy from the store (Radio Shack, for example) is inferior crap? I didn't know. But now I know. You know too.

One little problem: they failed to deliver on their promise to replace the ancient converter we are using.
