Now I get to wade through all the bullshit of call customer support -> have tech come out (Monday, 7-9) -> tell me he can't magic my stuff back to life -> call customer support -> get jerked around for a while before I get anywhere. Odds are they'll give me a new cable box, $20 off my next bill, and tell me to go fuck myself.    | ||

I'm guessing your DVR fried your monitor through 110volts straight into your HDMI cable or it shorted through the power cord, which either way is probably comcast's fault. I'm sure you can get more than 10$ off of your next bill. | ||

If you're getting dirty power, not grounded properly, etc, stuff can and will break/fry/surge. Not here to defend comcast, I just hate to see everyone blame comcast for EVERYTHING that happens. | ||

LG Dacom is the worst fucking internet I've ever had though. I'm in the Air Force and when I was stationed in Korea they had a monopoly on our Air Base. It felt worse than 56k at certain time periods of the day and on the weekends. Which is hilarious because off base the internet is SUPER FAST of course... anyways I'm rambling about other ISPs. Comcast still sucks though. | ||

The two things are plugged into separate surge protectors on separate circuits. I was using the monitor for my computer about a minute before it died and it was entirely fine, as is everything else plugged into the same protector (2 other monitors, switch, PC, and a clock). The only thing the two have in common is the DVR. | ||

I had a nice twitter chat with @ComcastBill when they accidentally shut off my internet for a week straight. ![[image loading]](http://i46.tinypic.com/zx42kz.png) | ||
