Decided would forget about the cable today. Went and had lunch with friend from Austin that has been helping take care of his Mom after a bad reaction to meds after knee surgery. Guess what we did...

Went an bought his Mom a new TV and "tried" to hook it up to her old cox cable box. It was the cheapest 50" TV they had. He refused to to understand the cable box she had was to old, it used component video and the HDMI port did not support current TVs. Cable guy is coming out Monday, bet he gives her a new box.

Really teased my friend. We passed a cox solutions store where they would have replaced her old style (not digital) cable box free on one of the 3 trips going back and forth to best buy. Asked about it every trip as it was obvious it was an old cable box.

Friend is going back to Austin tomorrow. His Mom asked if it was okay to call me Monday when the cable guy came out. I am assuming I am going to have to go over and try to make that cheap TV with very limited inputs work with the rest of her stuff. He ignored the fact she had a DVD and VCR. May end up having to take the TV back and get one with the correct number of inputs of the right types.
