What the hell happened to cable last year? For the same amount as we were paying last year, we now have some DVR thingy, which you apparently use to record girls' jumprope competitions so you can watch them over and over. It's like I went to sleep one day and woke up in the distant future, full of robotic sex slaves and self-coding artificial intelligences. (For some inexplicable reason, the IRS will still allow snail mail filing. I asked.)
You television-gapers out there, did this just happen all at once, or were there, I don't know. Epochs of service? Did your cable service evolve naturally? One day, did you go downstairs to see that your VHS no longer had gills, and had magically scientifically spawned a hard drive where its tracking buttons used to be? I am totally awed by this. Good one, Cox. You got me.

MUAH HA HA HA HA HA HAHAAAAAAA. also, im done working. forever. until tomorrow of course...

Ooohh and it worked out even better than that. When I called to get cheaper phone service, they saved us $10/month and added on voice mail. So yeah some how we just got better cable tv, faster internet, and voicemail (minus a few distinctive ring tones) on the phone for the same price as we paid for crappier services last year.
My advice to all consumers out there...randomly call your service providers and see if they can lower your rates. You may be surprised to find out you have been paying more for services that they are giving away to others.
I am totally puzzled at how you've gone this long without knowing about DVR's. I got my first one from Cox before I EVER met the Mexican, which also means before I EVER met you.
WTF hobbit hole have you been living in?
