Screaming Bean
Sunday, February 12, 2006

Things are not good here at the home of the Bean, and it's not even because I get to do the Bar over again in a week. No, it's much more self-serving than that. We have DirecTV satellite TV. We've had it for 3 years. Up until a month ago it was the best thing since sliced bread. Cheaper than cable, we have a Tivo, and we hardly ever lost signal or had any problems whatsoever. That was used to be...as of late it's been downright maddening. Call it pixelation, call it stuttering, call it glitchy, call me late for dinner, the signal for our local channels has been horrible. It's like trying to watch TV while hiccuping. The signal cuts and stutters losing frames and audio. When I watch the Tivo, it gives the machine fits and makes it go to half-speed. If you're watching at the time, the only fix is to change the channel and then change it back. If you happened to Tivo a show, the rest of the show is screwed up. The SuperBowl was problematic to say the least. Oprah? Like watching her on the web. But tonight was the worst. Try and watch snowboarding when every time they do a trick the signal botches. Shaun White's prelim run? I think I saw the first trick. All the rest were gone like the wind. I couldn't take it, I had to turn off the TV to keep from yelling at the screen. I know, I should be studying not watching snowboarding, but dammit this is only once every 4 years! Why DirecTV, WHY???
