I have to hand it to BT today. A year ago they called the house to ask if we were interested in the three in one package that includes, Broadband, BT Vision and Phone calls. After accepting their offer nothing happened. Then towards the end of November someone called again and offering the same three in one service, again we waited. Given the fact that just before Christmas there was major problems with weather affecting deliveries we did not think too much that something was wrong with the order and that the equipment would be delivered once the weather picked up! When it had still not arrived two weeks ago, I sent an email on behalf of my dad to BT complaints. We were called last week by the complaints department who told us that nobody had placed an order on their system but that they would do so now. Sure enough, most of the equipment arrived today as promised.
I therefore spent an hour setting up the BT Vision box and rearranging the Broadband hub. Apparently on the box the estimated time of set up is 30 minutes! Although there were a few minor problems like having to reset the system three times, it did not take that long from plugging in the wires to the TV actually being in full working order. So now my parents can watch not only BBC One and ITV but MANY other channels too! I even purchased an hdi cable for them so they could see the difference in picture!
This afternoon I did a printing job for my mum for an event she has in April. I ended up going through the many channels on offer on BT Vision and going through step by step on how to use it. At 23:30 tonight the channel had not moved from BBC ONE! Sometimes I ask myself, "Why do I bother?"
The weather was mixed today and to start with rain and wind, so when I actually finished setting up the TV and headed into the City to pick up the cable I had ordered I was in my jeans, shirt and jumper, with my jacket on! As soon as I started walking, the sun started coming out from behind the clouds and by the time I had reached the usual coffee place, I was roasting!
The finacial problems at Argyle may be a step closer to being rectified within the next few days as reports come in that a solution has been found to raise enough capital to keep the going for the short term future at least. So with that in mind, maybe that will settle the players and we might even start seeing the good results and points coming back. Let's hope the atmosphere is better at Home Park from now on.
The following statement was posted on the Argyle website...
PASTDT STATEMENT

PLYMOUTH Argyle Supporters Training and Development Trust released the following statement on Sunday evening:
"Plymouth Argyle Supporters Training and Development Trust is pleased to announce that, following an opportunity to invest in Home Park Stadium, the Trust has agreed to provide a short-term mortgage secured on Home Park Stadium.
"These negotiations have been ongoing since January 1 and have now reached a satisfactory outcome.
"The Trustees are pleased to have been able to agree a package which will benefit both parties."
As for the Superbowl, which I stayed up to watch last night. The final result was Pittsburgh Steelers 25-31 Green Bay Packers! As the Green Bay Packers were playing in GREEN I decided to cheer for them. Nice to have a team in green winning a major trophy, even though I don't know the slightest thing about American Football! I still cannot remember seeing too many people using their feet to control the ball!
