New Tivo HD is on the way!!!!!

Instead of joining the masses for the annual Black Friday Hoopla, I decided, after work, to do some shopping on the interwebs. After much debating, I finally settled on getting a new Tivo HD. The clincher was the fact that I will now be able to browse Netflix movies through the new Tivo Box. How can that not be a great idea for only $8 a month?

So I ordered it via Amazon and as a Prime member I set it up for 2 days shipping. Well Lo and behold I got the wireless adapter tonight and the Tivo should be here tomorrow evening. I’m very psyched and I will be calling my cable provider tomorrow to set up the appointment for the installation process to replace my silly cable box for some cards to insert into my new Tivo!!! Yay to me!!!

I love Netflix

Well this week has been rather uneventful politically. Sure we heard the last state of the union, and the last Democratic and Republican debate until Super Tuesday. But even so, very little was said, nothing new surfaced and tensions in both parties have settled down for the most part (though I’m sure Romney and McCain would argue that). Because of this I have no rant to give out this week, and I have nothing of any real value to talk about. Unless of course, you value entertainment.

Which brings me to Netflix. I reactivated my account after a number of years of dormancy and noticed some changes to their services. On top of having cheaper rates they also have a service called “Browse Instant”. This service allows you to watch some of their DVDs on-line and depending on the plan, you have an unlimited amount of time to watch streaming video. The past four movies that I have watched via the mail so far have been the following:

• White Noise 2
• Thank you for Smoking
• The Illusionist
• The Hoax

With the new service of watching streaming video I have been re-watching an old British show called Coupling. I’m now in the middle of season 2 and it’s just as funny as I remember it. Also, if you have a Netflix account and you would like to be my friend on there (apparently they have a social-network) you can simply click on the link below:

Anyway, that’s all for now. I should have another entry next week.
