Current is no longer available
  You gotta say Time Warner is fast.

Just called and downgraded back to basic.

What bothers me s they are doing that to keep Al Jazeera from gaining any foothold in the US...the variety tier has RT, which at times can be tendentious. And let's not start with Fox which s in the basic tier.

Whoohoo, my cable bill just went down! You only bought cable to have current? :loser:

Later I will go return the box.  You do that.

Ummm....  What did I miss?
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

AFAIK, a box is required for all channels since they are digital.  We don't get anything without the cable box.

Only those that have the old analog only TV sets.  Newer model TVs and a $20+/- antennae will pull in a plethora of channels , depending upon the area of the country you are located. Around here that's about 20 channels , of course about half are Spanish.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

To decipher nadinese, you have to remember a few key points:

1.  What she is saying may not make any sense, but it tend to incorporate a lot of phrases she read somewhere that did, and she lards down her posts with these phrases under the delusion that it makes her sound more erudite and educated (Which would work a lot better if she could get them right, of course);

2.  Her supposed Hispanic education and upbringing doesn't have all that much effect on her crappy writing, the way she says things makes even less sense in Spanish than it does in English; I suspect her parents weren't super-fluent themselves and so it was not her at-home language;

3.  In addition to her abominable spelling and grammar, she randomly omits important words, especially in those phrases mentioned in Number 1;

4.  Her use of 'Them' signifies that she is mocking the uneducated unwashed masses for either something they might say or for just not being among the cognoscenti like herself.  It's intended to be condescendingly folksy to convey her intellectual contempt for whatever follows, and so naturally as snark it may be a complete turnaround from the preceding material in the post, paragraph, or sentence, but unfortunately for her, he writing is so abysmally bad that many readers just assume the 'Them' is yet another in a long series of grammar and spelling faults, and miss the turn to snark.

5.  It helps to be well-read in understanding Nadin, not because what she writes is actually intelligent (Oh, far from it!), but in order to pick up on the many borrowed phrases mentioned in Number 1 so you can realize what she was actually trying to say before she put them through the word scrambler.
