Pity. :p

I mean, there's Direct TV, which is ok. Then there's Frontier (Verizon) which is the fucking definition of bollocks. And then there's Comcast, with the ability to record 5 shows at once and over 500 channels as part of the basic deal.

I have Frontier and I hate every second of it.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
