Quoth JarethsPet View PostI didn't know you could still use those anymore. I thought they got rid of that and everything is digital? Unless it wasn't worldwide or something.Quoth RealUnimportant View PostUK digital is available through a standard antenna, provided you have a decoderringbox or digicapable tv; I'd assume we're not unique in this.
QUE much complaints as people could now NOT receive some of the weaker signal stations (with a little bit of static snow) in their area that one could with an analog signal as digital transmission is pretty much an all or nothing deal.I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

Quoth RealUnimportant View PostI'm with a phone, Internet, & tv company here in the UK that had a security issue earlier in the year. Well, I'd been with them for years & none of my data was compromised so I felt happy to stick with them... But they've had reps street canvassing near work every day for weeks, and I'm getting sick of it. It's got to the point where I've told them if they keep pestering me every day I'm going to close my account, so their efforts will have had precisely the opposite effect to that intended!
I politely tell the canvassers that we had a bad experience and won't be going back. The good ones leave us be, the bad ones push, and get increasingly frosty replies and/or the door shut in their faces. I've only ever gotten nasty once, with a guy in the street who kept stepping in front of me whenever i tried to get away from him.
They have not inspired me to give AllTalk another chance.

My line was unbundled by a former tenant, so I'm stuck with them unless I want to pay to get reconnected elsewhere... As I'm increasingly of a mind to move to a new less memory-filled location with less annoying neighbours, it's just not in my interests.
It wouldn't be so bad but they rotate staff every couple of weeks, so just as I get one set trained they're whisked off and a new lot come along convinced that you just don't know what awesomeness you may be missing (and seem quite amazed that anyone might already be a customer!)This was one of those times where my mouth says "have a nice day" but my brain says "go step on a Lego". - RegisterAce

Quoth Racket_Man View PostSince the Death Star started offering U-verse about 5 years ago in our area my GF (who has her landline phone service through them) started getting literally 2 or 3 mail offers A WEEK trying to get her to switch from BIG cable provider to the Death Star.
Now, with the internet access, if I can get faster service w/ U-Verse for about the same amount I'm paying for Death Star DSL for the highest speed package, I'll seriously consider it.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)
