Several years ago...my cable service was upgraded. But I noticed at night when I shut it off with the remote...the screen didn't go completely black...it stayed dimly lit unless I manually turned it off.

It came with this free charter channel. I didn't watch it cause I didn't like figuring it out on the remote for one, and didn't like the programming on it either. The cable company kept calling me asking if I had a problem gaining access to it. I kept telling them no, just didn't want to watch it.

After several calls they said they would send a tech out to show me how to work the remote. I kept telling them no, I didn't care to watch it. He kept pushing its greatness...and I kept wondering how they knew I wasn't watching it? Was it tied into the screen that didn't go completely off?

After the 7th call and I lied, told them I'd been watching the channel and I loved it! The guy paused...didn't know what to say. Asked again if I needed someone to come out and show me how it works I said NOPE! Figured it all out myself! I cancelled the service and haven't missed it at all.
