Digital Cable

I got a TV for college thinking that I could relax and watch some shows when I don’t have anything else to do. We received an e-mail a couple weeks ago that Wartburg is switching over to all digital. My TV does have digital channels, but the only ones that Wartburg allows us to have are the hundred channels. We were told that we needed to get a cable box, so we walked over the knight’s village to get one, and nobody was there the first time. We got one a couple days ago, and we hooked it all up. We called to activate it, but it was already activated, so it should’ve been working. The guy tried to fix it over the phone, but he couldn’t. Now there’s a cable guy that has to come to our room to try to fix it. These boxes are new; you’d think that they’ work. We’re attending a forty thousand dollar school, so to me, I think we have the right to have channels and not have to put up with someone having to come out here to try to fix it. We’re paying enough just to be here, why should we have to pay someone to fix something that’s not even our fault? It’s irritating to have to go through something like this. Why’d we have to switch to digital when there are all these problems with these new digital boxes? It just doesn’t make any sense to me! It’s driving me crazy!
