Here's what I think
Today's random musings about the local area:
1. I've had my new cable box from Coaxial Cable for nearly two months, and the darn thing still doesn't work right all the time. It's not bad enough that I feel like I should call the cable company, but it's really annoying when a whole section of channels (e.g. all the locals) are skipping and dropping out. Coaxial gets a "D" grade for communication during this whole process too--at first they told us not to update the box's software when prompted, but now we're getting different messages, and I'm honestly not sure what to do. Time for Dish Network?
2. It's difficult to sell a property in this area--especially within borough limits--for more than $100K. According to Realtor.com, there are currently 56 properties for sale in the 16403 zip code (including vacant land), and 25 of them are priced above $100K. Maybe property values will *finally* start rising consistently in the area once the National Guard complex is in operation. Or maybe not.
3. Am I the only one who thinks having a 24-hour taco bar would increase business for local taverns? Okay, so I probably am, but I really like tacos. Especially for breakfast.

Dish Network,no! I've got a neighbor that can get you a sweet deal on Direct TV.
I am having the same problems that you mentioned. Even though Chris from Coaxial has tried to help the system seems unstable. I have had a lip sync problem with several of the new digital channels. They are willing to update my cables but when I called to make an appointment the girls in the office were clueless.
I know of at least one other resident in town who had Coaxial come out and replace cables--and it seemed to help for a little while, but then the problems just came back. And I agree that the frontline customer service related to this cable box switchover has been poor.
