That's the thing. Now what to do with it. Screaming at the TV while holding it next to it didn't work at all.

LOL

I can scroll through all the channels on the little thing but it doesn't let me turn anything on.

ROFL. Well I guess it's good to know that those douchebags don't show up even when it's something THEY need, and not just when it's something YOU need

True...

Call them and tell them to be at your place to pick it up some time tomorrow between 8 AM and 3 PM. Then come home from school/work at 4 PM.

HAHAHAA > You know how they work!

hold on to it for a while. avoid the cable guy like the plague. then after 6 months either sell it on ebay or activate all the channels (after you find out how)

 

[vi edit]

It sounds like this is for the testing and turn up of cable internet lines. Not video channels.

Find out how to use it, use it and then trade it to one of us with instructions.

Crank your cable internet service up to "Googlebit" speeds.

do to them what they do to us

tell them to be at your house between 8am and 3pm... and that you'll be there at some point in time to give it to them.



then come home at 5.

The one I have does both internet and video. I plugged it into the cable and got +10 for internet, then I started to go through all the tv channels with the thing and it gave me the frequency. Still no luck on how to activate eleventy billion channels.

Couldn't agree more

Drop it off at your local cable office, and make sure you get a signed receipt.

Before you give it back, explain that you waited for the guy to pick it up on your time, he didn't show. You should at least be able to get a free month of cable out of them.
