We got Sky HD!

So the big news today is that the Vidlers got a HD TV in the living room and a new Sky Cable box(sky is a network here just like AT&T Uverse or w/e). ANYWAY! The Sky man came round to install it at 8:30am, which woke James and I up and we had to get up and show him where things were, like the phone jack in our room.

The old set up: 1 really old clunky TV in the living room, that everyone shared to watch tv programs(interestingly enough....all the rooms have TVs, but none with cable: Harry, Sam and James each use their TVs to veiw DVDs or play on their gaming systems).

The NEW set up: Brand new HD TV in the livingroom for everyone to share and a new Sky Cable box with HD channels. Since the old Sky box(normal cable, without HD channels) is no longer needed downstairs, we had the guy install it in James and my room for just a tenner more. So, now, James and I have cable in our room and don't have to fight the rest of his family for the right to watch TV downstairs (unless we REALLY want to watch something in HD on the HD TV).

So.....after the Sky guy started doing his thing...the TV delivery man came round, so when the Sky guy was done, we wanted to quickly put together the TV and have him set up Sky on the new TV before he left. Sam and James were trying to put together the TV (basically screw the stand onto the bottom of the TV), but were being a bit slow, so I got to feel all techie and show them how it's done. *gloat*

We got it all squared away, Sky boxes installed, had some breakfast--bob's your uncle. :) Everything's okie dokie.

Not much really happened the rest of the day except James and I commandeered the front room to watch Scott Pilgram Vs. The World which we got on Blu Ray, so we wanted to watch it on the HD TV.....no one really complained. We just kept having to kick Tony out of the living room because he kept coming in just to get attention. I was trying to be patient, but James wasn't having it. Tony does get annoying after a while because he doesn't have any patience; Sean, my 4 year old nephew is 2 years younger than Tony and has LOADS more maturity and patience than Tony does. I guess that's the product of being a spoiled child with no discipline.

James and I are hoping to get out of the house tomorrow to do something, but we were just so tired from waking up for the Sky delivery and James was feeling a bit off today--sore throat. Hopefully tomorrow will be alright.
