I contacted Time Warner Cable to come out today to connect a digital box for me. Look who showed up. It's Jamie who worked at the rental office for years. It was good to see her again and she really knew what she was doing.
The box will be about $20 per month, but from what I see, what took me so long? I can finally get the Longhorn channel, MLB Network, Smithsonian Channel, Fox Sports One, and about 100 more. Even all the On Demand channels are available. Now all I need a good recliner.
