I've installed my digital decoder after I received the smart card to make the thing properly work via mail this morning and to my surprise it went as smooth as can be. Oink? I now have over 150 channels. The full free trial package for 2 weeks, that is.  Also made and ate spaghetti alla Bolognese. (done other things but.. )

Is that anything like the Buck Rogers decoder ring we got for sending in cereal box tops in the 1950's?

^ Yup, yoll, yuph, exactly the same thing..





.. only slightly different though. E.g. it needs 40 quid of gasoline (per month) to properly work and preferably a spot in the garden that's mostly in the shades.

My, my.  You must have awfully strong hands to carry that thing on your little ole finger (Southern American accent)

Would you settle for a Cockney accent and a blow job?

@ Hyke: Provider is Ziggo. Had them providing analogue TV before today but Ziggo decided to not broadcast my beloved BBC2 any more and most of my German channels since last July 18th too. (before that they skipped the French ones, others)

What remained were the Dutch public channels, 2 Belgium ones and ja, lots of the commercially driven bullshit channels which I tend to avoid mostly. (I really dislike 'plastic stuff' shown and loud commercial breaks there)

Well, Ziggo is okay. No complains really.. other than the channels loss mentioned.. but that's fixed since this afternoon.

I have separate providers though. Ziggo for TV and Online.nl for phone and internet. It all depends a bit what's important for you and daughters. Decent downloading of movies, multi i-tasking or more complex gaming require faster internet speed for instance. Ziggo's alles-in-1 (40 MB/s download/up 4 MB/s à €52 a month) seems a fair deal then. When speed isn't that important Online's 3-in-1 deals are cheaper, I think.

Most admit, just took a speed test and Online isn't really fast. 9 Mbps download and a 0.9 Mbps upload I got on the test just now. (http://www.speedtest.net/)

Well, blahiah, dunno.. suit self of course..

I have the online internet/phone thing too. The village I live in will at the most give me 8Mbps, if everything is cooperating. Only way to get faster is via cable.
I was pretty content about online for a few years, but lately my phone is not what it used to be, and with the expanding internet experience of my daughters, my modem needs resetting a lot. So, Ziggo seems to be the best solution. Will have to go to digital indeed, there is hardly anything left that is worth watching.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Mowed the lawn, tilled up the unused garden space, trimmed all the bushes and several trees and dug up 2 other bushes and dumped them.  All before 10 am.  :headbang2:

This afternoon I properly cleaned and vacuumed the attic, changed bed sheets/linnen, did a laundry, got some stuff at nearby supermarket and made dinner.

And changing gears back now.

Went up mom's, put trash out.

Went to the bank, then the drugstore & grocery store for mom, dropped stuff off at mom's.

Came home, got food, vacuumed, cleaned the downstairs and I'm working on the 3rd load of laundry.

The grass still needs cut.  :P   Maybe tomorrow.
