This has been a very exciting month for me. Multiple people asked me what I wanted for my birthday and Christmas and since my primary focus was on my son Evan’s birth and the end of Amy’s pregnancy, I kept telling everyone if they wanted to get me something, just get my a AmEx gift card or money. With all of that money plus some of my own I decided to upgrade for a 27″ TV to a Sony 50″ Grand WEGAâ„¢ 3LCD Rear Projection HDTV. I am upgrading to a HDTV satellite in the next two weeks and am very excited to catch the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl in HDTV. A big thanks to Doug for pushing me to finally get a decent TV.

I had an appointment with the service technician yesterday to get everything installed so I could watch the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl in HD.

I am now stuck with their standard signal (which was ok for the old TV, but it looks crappy on the new TV) until at least August unless I pay to break the contract. Not only does that suck, but my alternative is going to be going back to overpriced Comcast. Yuck! What to do… [...]
