Out with the old, In with the new

Today we are switching from dish satellite  to charter cable as our TV provider. Basically the only reason we are doing this is that it is cheaper. I am sure some of you are saying "So what, big deal". I would probably say the same thing too except for these two reasons:

#1 = Kassidy and change is like oil and water - they don't mix. She knows the dish network inside and out, probably better then most of the dish network employees. She knows the channels and exact times that "her shows" are on. (Now if she could just keep track of the remote but that is a WHOLE other story!)  Now it will be a new schedule of channels and times.....

#2 = One of Kassidy's things is repetition, like watching the EXACT same show over and over and over......what's the problem? Well, our DVR is pretty full of Kassidy shows, some of them have been watched so many times that the DVR actually sticks like a DVD that is scratched would. And my typical child Shane also has a few of his favorite shows on the DVR like 19 episodes of Dinosaur Train and 16 episodes of Chugginton that he likes to watch before bedtime. Getting all these shows saved again is going to take time....and a lot of patience.

This is going to go one of two ways.....either they really wont care and will be excited about recording new stuff OR they are gonna throw a MAJOR fit when I get home and I am going to hear about it ALL NIGHT LONG.  Any guesses?
