This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

cablecom - what a piece of crap

I've got to say the above this time. I never had any problem for good three years when I had the old non-HD mediabox. This new one really sucks! Jeff had some problem with his, now I have one too, and it wasn't quickly solved when I reported it.

Finally, a technician came over, just to confirm that the mediabox was faulty which a good, rational person would have made the deduction much earlier based on all the evidence I'd given. I guess it's one of those Swiss social / economical frameworks - each business (incl the Technician) needs to be ensured of enough demand. Crap.

A new mediaBox arrived Saturday. The excitement didn't last long. All plugged in and set to go ... and it's just another faulty box. After ten minutes, it went into reloading mode again and again, this has been a persistent feature ever since. It's been 24 hours now.
