I really hate moving

We finally got around to calling DirecTV to have our service moved to our new house in Redmond (after two months of paying for service that was only working in VA, we figured it was about time). During the week the DirecTV people came out to put up the dish and get the wiring installed - well, they came out twice, the first time the person got so flustered by the complexity that they literally took off without telling KT. Anyway, today was the big day to get the screens all working - and after spending 2 hours getting all my DirecTV boxes set up and another hour on the phone with DirecTV activating them and diagnosing problems, I sat down in the media room to watch some HD HBO - and the HD DVR/DirectTV tuner TV craps out after 5 minutes of being on. An hour of rebooting it, unplugging it, letting it sit, no luck.

And the movers killed my beautiful Alienware ALX machine. Liquid coolant gooed over everything. Bah!

I really hate moving.
