It is better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a pig satisfied...Bullsh!t!

I'll bet my left nut Socrates didn't have to view bitrate starved HD - nor put up with some a$$hole for more than a month who has been attempting to repair his Mits CRT RPTV - nor listen to his a$$hole eyes supervisor, with the reading and verbal comprehension of a 3rd grader, tell him the PQ (on VOOM mind you) is the best he has ever seen and is well within factory specs - and then tell him the reason that Cable DTV looks like pixalation hellation to the maxation is because of a weak cable signal in spite of telling a$$hole eyes the cable is spilt using a three-way splitter in the wiring close and all lines were measured at 30db and the specific HDTV in question was working perfectly just moments before numbnuts a$$hole installed a new CRT...and created an electronic 'pulse' on the screen as well as affecting the integrated QAM/ATSC tuner - meanwhile other HDTVs in the house work fine on Cable (not that Socrates ever watches it except for the fact both HDNets are in-the-clear with along with HD locals because Cable is the only broadband option in his area of more than 60k people in the 8th largest DMA in the country...but that's another story since he has been waiting 5+ years for DSL and he has been at the mercy of Adelphia cable as his sole source of broadband internet service - and after Socrates drags down a 90 pound 26" Samsung Dynaflat CRT to show a$$hole and a$$hole eyes it's not the freakin' cable, it's the result of a$$hole, he is told to place yet another service call.
So many stupid people...so little time!

And you ask me why I drink? God help us all. Tonight I'm going to kill 10 IQ points and then rub salt in my eyes so I don't notice how sh!tty the Mits looks these days. As much as I love the PQ on my Sony LCD RPTV, the Mits CRT RPTV would always give me that little something extra. Anyway, I would suggest all of you lower your expectations since tweedle-dee and tweedle-dummy will never see nor comprehend what you see and comprehend. As far as VOOM PQ goes, it's pretty darn good at time, but it is certainly not as good as it was in the past and not up to the high standards of many here on the VOOM Forum. I guess PQ affects the pallet differently and each of us has a unique gag reflex.
It is far better to be a pig satisfied than to be......well, you fill in the blank.
