Some complications

We did manage to check for cell phone reception at our new house before we bought it but really didn't pay attention to the cable TV / high-speed internet business, and now it's too late. We should have been suspicious about the little notation about 'leased equipment' on the property regarding a satellite dish, but, well... we just didn't think about it.

And then the seller's realtor, who lives across the street, mentioned that he has a dish too...

And when I was trying to get information about the utilities, the person from city hall said that 'right now, the cable is with...'

Hmmmmm. It appears that the big kid on the block around here - Comcast Cable TV - doesn't 'play' on our block at all. Evidently there is a great deal of dissatisfaction about this and a lot of wishful thinking about a takeover, but it hasn't happened yet.

So. We have 'Brand X' Cable TV. And they need 10 days to arrange for an installation at our house.

Looks like I'll be out of contact again for a while, blogger-wise.

It's just as well, probably. I tend to get a little overwrought in the middle of a move. You don't really want to hear about it, I'm sure.

Wish us luck!
