The Harbaughs :: Amanda & Josh

Ok. So, I don't watch much TV. Well, not since the crazy writer's strike anyway. The shows I DO watch are mainly on the local stations, NBC, CBS, ABC, and CW. We, however, own a TIVO (yes a real, bona fide, TIVO. Not a TWC ripoff DVR) and I LOVE it. In fact, we love it so much we use it instead of having digital cable because time warner doesn't keep the port open on their Motorolla boxes so Tivo can change the channel and record. So we deal with extended basic cable.

    Ever since we moved to Cincinnati we have been seeing a Dr. about our infertility. I am so freaked out about having multiples that the only thing that can console me is watching people on Discovery Health who have high order multiples and who's lives are enriched and everything is ok despite the passel of children. Of course, as soon as I get addicted Time Warner Cable moves it to the Variety Tier of their digital cable. So, I was enraged to find out that instead of the 5 episodes of Jon and Kate plus 8 I was supposed to have in my TIVO I have 2.5 hours of ShopNBC! I was mad. I proceeded to call TWC and ask how to get it back, so desperate was I for my multiples fix, For them to tell me I would have to 86 my Tivo, and pay and extra $40, and deal with their CRAPPY DVR! WTF Time Warner!?!?!?!

So, since we can't have satellite at our apartment because the wind whips through here like the city is a giant wind tunnel, all focused at MY patio with nothing but a measly tripod to keep it on track, we have canceled everything but basic cable. I say again, WTF?
