I love my HDTV. There’s no question about that. I opt to watch all of the broadcasts stations on their digital channel, even if the program is provided in HD. The quality of the digital signal is far superior to the analog signal

So, I’m always looking for HD content to enjoy. Discovery, HD Theater, History Channel or even AMC- wait, we don’t get AMC HD? But we get HGTV HD? And TNT HD? Plus A&E HD? Even MTV HD?! What the hell? I wanted to watch Mad Men in HD; it must look FANTASTIC!

So, I decided to ask my cable company what the chances were of receiving AMC HD. Here was my question:

What are the chances of having AMC HD added to the Bright House channel lineup?

Here was the form letter I received back:

Thank you for taking the time to email XXXXX. Our goal at XXXXX is customer satisfaction and we are interested in our customer’s feedback. … We do not want to charge all our customers for “specialty” programming but still want to be able to provide High Definition programming and remain competitive. We look forward to offering more High Definition channels very soon.

Thank you for that boring and mind-numbing form letter. I would like to get back the time it took me to read that e-mail. Please send a check at your earliest convenience.

All I needed to know was, “the chances are about the same as President G. W. Bush’s library containing more than old copies of Boys Life magazine.
