Cable

After three months of getting nowhere with the cable company we finally got cable! Since I got to Norway, I had been emailing and calling the cable company explaining to them that our power chord did not go tightly into our cable box thus our cable wouldn't work. We were sent two new power cords that still didn't work. Each person I talked to tried to trouble shoot or didn't really understand what I was saying. One time I called and my phone died before we got anywhere and then we had to wait three weeks to get another phone card (long story lets just say things don't go fast here) so I was getting pretty frustrated. Then Jeff talked with a friend at work who is from Canada and he told us to email the cable and tell them to send you a new box. It was that simple. Why didn't I think to just say give me a new box. Probably because I thought they'd just do that if it was possible. So simple it didn't occur to me I guess. So I emailed and with in a week we had the new box and cable! Now we get CNN and we have an American Sports channel plus Showtime, National Geographic, a bunch of Discovery channels and best of all two Cartoon Networks that broadcast in English! Jeff and I haven't had cable in four years so this really is a treat. I'm hoping once the novelty wears off we won't be glued to the TV every night but the last two nights we've been having fun surfing the tube.
