cbs screwing up

just when you wondered if this blog really lived up to it's name, here is a complaint about the programming goofs at cbs and, of course, the continued screw ups at brighthouse... simply, i am setting the million dollar piece of crap equipment brighthouse calls their digital cable box and dvr to record a show and for whatever reason, sports special, presidential speech, special report, whatever, the show apparently started twenty minutes late and the smart software technology brighthouse uses apparently could not identify that change of programming so instead of watching a whole episode of the mentalist as planned, i was left frustrated without an ending... and the following week, the same stupid brighhouse-cbs miscommunication... and i pay extra for this frustration, right...

so i don't know if jane lives or dies after he married the happy mismatched couple and is taken hostage in the church and whatever happened in the episode before that and worst of all (for the moment, at least), i am missing all the subtle clues to the magnificent obsession with red john, so tell me, seriously, how can i sleep at night?...

yeah, so thanks brighthouse, again, for consistently disappointment and frustration... and cbs, all i can say is if you screwed up my recordings of any other shows, well, you are gonna be on my shit list for a long time... especially since this might be the last season ziva is on ncis...

yeah, meaningless complaint, but righteous, ya know?...

UPDATE... ah, so paying a bit of attention to the night the mentalist is on, i discover it is on sunday nights which means football probably pushed the start time back so i am not enjoying the mentalist on CBS at all because the dvr is only recording half of the show and i am missing the endings so i am not following the continuing storylines and the writers and producers and sponsors are wasting their time and energy and money cuz i am turned off to any products associated with the show thanks to cbs and brighthouse...

in case they care...

blogger bust

the blogger (aka google) servers are sucking more than ever these days... maybe brighthouse is not helping and maybe kaspersky is complicating things and whatever whatever, but blogger sucks lately, really big sucks... have they tagged my account as using too much blogger space or maybe that is just toying with paranoia... the fact is, of my eighty some odd blogs here at blogger, yes, eighty some odd, not a one, not the newest that have merely a few dozen entries nor the daily that has more than five thousand entries, yes, five thousand, are easily managed or navigated or added to these days and it's been going on all year, even before we moved here back in late january or so where the brighthouse cable internet service sucks even more than it did where we used to live...

and come to think of it, google's gmail has become unusable for me on my main account because it will not download mail to me client (Windows Mail) on my laptop and i don't have time to navigate thousands of emails a week without filters on the gmail website... so maybe it is time to find an alternative to gmail, google, blogger, and the crap they and microsoft put out...

so i am blogging less, which might be what blogger wants, and they just might get me to invest wordpress or some other blog software and move to my own domain, but for the moment i shall wait and see cuz i don't have desire, time, or patience to learn how to do more than i already do with my own domain and besides, i'd have to pay more for more space there because i've used up the space i pay for at the moment... my own server with a t3 line?... maybe some other time, for now, i'll just meaninglessly complain some more...

what's up blogger, how's things google?... your service sucks this year, ya know?...

brighthouse, surprise! (sarcasm)

wel, just when you think the service at Brighthouse hit a new low (you can read all about my last service experience here, i have another bone to pick with the geniuses in their programming department in this meaningless complaint)... all summer they've been sucking me in to watch the entire four or five seasons of Heroes and just as they are scheduled to show the last six episodes of the final season last week and the dvr was all set to save them, i checked tonight and found they were not recorded... my first thought was... another equipment failure...

but nooooooo... they simply decided to stop carrying the network that was showing heroes... no warning as i was watching that network for the last three months, just poof, and it's gone...

it took me a half hour of internet searching to find this out, more time wasted on brighthouse... and on tv in general... and once again brighthouse leaves me dissatisfied with their product...

how have they failed me, let me count the ways...

brighthouse, not
brighthouse disrespect

brighthouse equipment
still poor products from brighthouse
