Cable Wars Part 3 of 3

So, then I called, lets say, Plate Network.

The guy came but he had the wrong receivers.

So he left.

Then he came back.

Then he says "You have phone jacks by each TV, don't you?"

I say "No."

"You have to have one for each receiver."

"There are no phone jacks near any of the TV's, plus the only land line is used by the burglar alarm system. No one said anything about phone jacks!"

"The sales person should have told you, you answered a flyer didn't you?"

"No, I called the 800-number on the Plate Network webpage, the official page. The lady said nothing about phone lines."

So, he calls his office and I talk to the manager. We go through exactly the same conversation. Finally, I say "That's it! I don't want it." I tipped the installer for his trouble and he left.

So, after having had three different TV systems in about four weeks period, I surrendered to the forces of the universe and called the cable company. They were glad to have me back, especially after I told them the whole satellite TV story, basketball game and all, and they gave me lots of free things.

So, once again I have cable TV, at least until the next truck knocks down the line and I once more cease to exist.
