Look to the Horizon?

We signed up for a new service with our TV, Phone & Internet provider UPC.  It's called Horizon and it means that the TV Box and modem are all combined in to one box.

The box is far more sleek and modern looking than our last one.  

Having been delivered at 11.30, I spent a few hours setting it up and now it's all set.  We can now record 4 programmes while watching a 5th.  We also can go on the Internet on our TV.  

Unfortunately we lost all of our recorded programmes on the old box and I now need to go in and set up records for all of the series we like to tape - I've already done this for "Mad Men"

The remote control has two sides.

For changing channels

And the other side for going on the Internet, I presume 

I quickly went on the YouTube app - watching Lady Gaga on a 50" screen is pretty cool!

The other thing that we give a thumbs up to us that the remote does not need to be pointed at the box to change channels (it uses Radio Frequency).  therefore we were able to hide the box behind the TV cabinet doors - way neater and tidier then the last box!

And Ciaran downloaded an app to turn it use his iPhone as the Remote Control for the TV!!!

TV is hidden in behind the sliding wood panels!

Back online!!!

Yay I am hooked up!

The third engineer from UPC was finally able to get me all set up.  I'm back on the grid.  I've got my landline, TV & Internet.  So happy!

Here's a vid of Bones on the glass stairs that I just posted on Youtube.

Above is a picture of my mother and sister having breakfast in my house.

I turned my back on Bones and he jumped on to the table and stole a pain au chocolat.  What a brat!
