Cable TV

My cable TV provider, Suddenlink http://home.suddenlink.net/ has recently announced they have done some updates, which might mean that we need new boxes to get the HD broadcasts.  The flat screen TV I have is updated, and the box is adequate for this new signal or system, but the TV that dates back to the 1980s is not set up for this new signal or system.  So, I had to get a new box, which will be free for 2 years, and then cost $3.25 per month after that. 

So I went today to exchange my box, and set up the new box. It took a little bit to get it set up, but the solution was simple. My TV was set for channel 3, the box was set for channel 4, so when I set it for channel 3, everything worked.

I have two TVs, at opposite ends of the house, but I often like both of them on so I can traverse back and forth through the house, and keep posted with what is on TV.  When I got the flat screen TV, if I used the HD channels, the TV was not in sync with the other, older TV. Now that I have this new system, the other, older TV is hooked into the HD system, and I have to have the newer, flat screen on HD to coordinate with the older TV. This is okay.

I am just glad that I was able to get the new system set up.
