Me: So Im trying to figure out why I dont have the HD broadcast of the basketball game. Time Warner Cable Guy: Let me check that for you. Me: Thanks. TWCG: I see here that you dont have a set-top box. Me: No. TWCG: Well to access those channels you need the box. Me: Even though Im already paying for those channels and my television is perfectly capable of processing an HD signal. TWCG: You need to have the box to access those channels. Me: Which you charge more for. TWCG: Yes. Its ten dollars a month. Me: Its really bugging me that youre pretending this is some kind of hardware issue. I mean, I have HD broadcasts of the major networks. Its not like my tv is a Trinitron, man. TWCG: But the channels youre trying to access require a set-top box. Me: You can keep repeating the same thing, but that doesnt mean it makes any sense. TWCG: … Me: … TWCG: Because those channels are digital, you need the box to access them. Me: Correct me if Im wrong, but all broadcasts are digital now, and have been for a while, as per federal law. TWCG: Well, thats true. Me: So, given that, how is it that these channels being digital is the problem? Because presumably all the channels I already can access are also digital. TWCG: You need a set-top box to watch those channels, sir. Me: Youve made up a problem to justify milking me for another ten bucks every month. Its bullshit. You know its bullshit. TWCG: You need a set-top box to watch those channels, sir. Me: Have you ever read Kafka?
