Did I say I hate my cable box? Cause what I meant is, my cable box is… well, not that bad after all. They randomly gave us video on demand! We can watch (and pause, rewind, fast forward) a whole bunch of stuff for free, and get pay per view movies for $4. The content is OK, we watched some really bad anime (alas, dubbed), but there was some other interesting looking stuff that is hard to find usually, like short movies and documentaries. We almost puked when we went to the pay channel section, HBO had 8 million movies listed, and episodes of all their shows listed as free! But when we tried to watch them, it wouldn’t let us. You have to have the regular HBO channel.
