LOL, I have that one filed under been there done that. At my last house every time the telephone co. came out to fix their cable, they cut our tv cable. This went on SIX times, I kid you not. I asked them why they didn't come out at the same time, and they said, "Because we're separate companies." Well, now, I should have known that.
