The last month had been eventful for me – not so much with Comcast.
My shingles has returned and I am blind for the most part in my left eye and it was my good one. The cataracts in the right eye just lets me see dark and light – some days I can see a little color. For the most part it hurts like hell – glare is so bad.
I am blind – someone has to go grocery shopping for me and watching TV is a hit and miss affair.
My son has setup my Favorites so I know I can hit Guide once, Favorite Button once then enter and I am at the lowest favorite channel.
Hitting Guide, Favorite again and up a certain number of times will get me certain places.
I can also just hit the favorite button to walk up one station at a time. I am getting pretty good at it.
Once in a while I get lost, I was evidently watching the Mil channel – didn’t even know I got that one. My son is not sure I should be getting it.
So TV could be could or bad. I have several series recordings set and can usually identify them by opening music. I have no idea if everything is being recorded.
Biggest problem is when the Internet is not working. I use the magnifier and narrator tools and many shortcut keys to maneuver around the Web. I have done it for so long and have used AutoKey for a long time so as long as I can understand what the narrator is saying I’m fine.
But it seemed the Internet was slow or not working. I had my daughter change the connection to my Xanadoo modem.
Much better – I think it has only been down once in two weeks. And I have not noticed that much difference in speed between 256K wireless service and Comcast 10 Meg.
That is sad. Today I can see enough to write this but it is tedious to listen to the narrator read it back. I hope I am editing it OK.
