On Demand?

or "be persistent"

I cant find any movie I want to watch on my 700-something number of channels so I decide to order an "on demand" movie from one of the "premium" channels in which I subscribe.

I find one which peaks my interest, Charlie Wilson's War.

A few clicks away, and begins my own war. A frustrating fight to watch this movie.

The movie begins. No sound. I stop, restart. Still, no sound. I do this about two dozen times in a 45 minute period starting around 9:30 pm. After failing numerous times, and getting error messages such as ERR-5 and ERR-368279, I win my war. My movie starts, with sound.

Damn, now due to this blog I have to rewind the first 5 minutes...
