I am starting to see a pattern with TV companies (satellite and cable), and how they nearly relate to the three types of (known to me) VR systems;
\nSpectrum TV = Windows Mixed Reality
\nDirecTV = Oculus
\nDISH = Vive (as my mother says “it’s the best”)
\n–
\nBut I’m digressing here. So, what happened today? The installer came in a quite odd way, using his car instead of a company truck. Came around 4:05pm, and my parents were across the street eating at Taco Bell. Had to be the man of the house, praying they would come home sooner as the guy’s asking me of where I want the dish installed.
\nStood out there watching him on the roof, said he was going to take off the old dish and install theirs near it. Of course I’m slightly panicking, not knowing if this is where father will allow it.
\nAsk him a question about this claim that the wood was rotting. Where DISH’s dish currently is, he claimed it was fine. As I was talking.. I turned around and saw my parents’ car pulling up behind me. Thank god they’re home! I left the guy with father, who oversaw the rest of the work.<\/p>\n
And now everything’s installed. So here’s my like\/dislike\/neutral list;
\nLikes..
\n-Moodscapes’ brother (Soundscapes) is here, from Music Choice. Also got ’70s, ’80s, and Classic Rock. Don’t even need SiriusXM now.
\n-The DVR can be used for the entire household.
\n-We all have the same remote, so no one has been short changed.
\n-Two ‘turn TV\/box on\/off’ buttons, instead of wondering if I’m hitting the button hard enough.<\/p>\n
Dislikes…
\n<None so far><\/p>\n
Neutral…
\n-The Weather Channel is only included with (and above) this ‘Choice’ plan. But I have found three alternatives to it. One is another weather channel-like station, one is an app, and the last one is a local severe weather alert channel.
\n-Having to hit the Exit button on the remote after switching to a channel. A slight annoyance, but I’ll eventually get used to it.<\/p>\n
I feel somewhat happier than I did with Spectrum TV (still a bit unsure about Soundscapes, if it’s really the channel I remember). Though it doesn’t really matter if I’m happy or not anymore… as we’re stuck with it for the rest of our lives (so says father).
\nSo, there’s not much else to say. But at least things are back to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
