Cable debacle, part deux

Okay, so right on time at 11:00 this morning, the Comcast guy shows up. FOUR hours later and many minor crisis later, I think we have cable and perhaps some form of high speed internet access (although, this is still up in the air.) Ansley was at a playdate with Kasey so Zack and I headed off to run some much needed errands due to the past five days being held hostage by cable people not showing up. We zoom back in right at 4:00 and I'm thinking, "heck yes, Oprah here I come!" Fly into my room, turn on the new cable and what? Only screwy, pixeled, garbly gook mess on the tv. I give up.
