Cable TV

By Sasha on May 22, 2008 in Entertainment

We were perfectly happy without cable television. We were contented watching the local shows and some foreign ones shown on the local channels. But we were missing the travel shows and the cooking shows and the ambush makeovers So I had cable tv installed last week. Finally. Some would probably think me archaic because almost all households now have cable tv. But as I’ve said, we’re happy with the local channels.

Well, until the recent downpour of typhoon Cosme. Something happened to our outdoor antenna and the reception went blah. My dad was getting edgy because of the NBA games and the news so instead of getting a new antenna, I went ahead and called up Global Destiny. They went the next day and after 15 minutes of installing the wires and all, cable was on! Their people were very efficient and polite. Unlike those Sky Cable people who had ‘Peso’ on their forehead when they went here. We weren’t able to get their names but the minute they saw that they could ask for some money, they dropped hints that it would be difficult to put up the wires, we would need to pay for the extra cabling and all, blah blah blah. If I were here that time, they would have a gotten a piece of my mind.

Course Destiny has no AXN and Lifestyle Network. But they have ETC, Living Asia and Travel & Living so that’s just fine with me. And as long as Jamie Oliver’s shows are there
