TV stuff...

Got 3 months of DirectTVNow for upgrading my AppleTV from 3 to 4. The 4 has voice control and can run games and apps on it. Have evaluated DirectTVNow and is not nearly as good as Cox Cable.

Called Cox Cable. Took over 25 minutes to get customer retention. I have a Cox Business account for my internet and residential for TV. All they could find was my business account. Anyway customer retention guy was able to get $40 knocked of my bill for the same channels and upgraded my cable box to the voice controlled one.

Turned out the retention guy lives in my neighborhood. Told me if something was coming on one of the premiums like HBO to have them turn it on for the weekend, then cancel it and would only get charged like $2.
