Hey everybody, you'll never guess what I havn't had channel 32 tv land since yesterday morning. when I called the cable company I was told that Tv land went digital and it would be 2-3 weeks before the city would have the equiptment to fix it,no Chico and the man for 2-3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for tapes although it's not quite the same.
I'm having withdrawl already!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joy, you have my sympathy. I know how miserable this must be to have to be without CATM for 2-3 weeks! Can't those folks get their act together? I am glad you have tapes to get you through until they re-establish the service. Keep your chin up though, because Freddie and all of us know that this is an inconvenience, but no fault of yours. You are dedicated and much appreciated. I know you will be joining us in prayers, candlelighting and positive meditations for Freddie on his 47th birthday tomorrow.
FREDDIE FOREVER!

Be thankful for those tapes Joy.

I really feel your pain! Not being ablet o get TVLAND anymore due to the leaves ont he trees blocking the signal from the sateliite TVLAND is on. I tried watching this am's CATM off of the TVLAND signal on the G5 satellite. Being scrambled it was even harder to get today. No sound on it & Freddie fading in & out. Everytime he started to look really sexy that's when the faint fuzzy signal would go back to scrambled.

Sigh... If I could find a descrambler for the satellite then maybe I could get it... But Descrmablers for it hard to find & not cheap if ya find one cuz it's an older satellite... Sounds like this digital stuff stinks!

Not being able to get paid cable channels due to not being able to find a descrambler for the satellite dish & not geting TVLAND anymore (One of the few free channles we could get) I am suffering from having no good tv.

I miss all my TVLAND shows.

We need to start a support group!

Cheryl,
You have my sympathy. When you get used to seeing that gorgous face it's hard to go without it.(think how bad it must be for the lucky people who actually knew Freddie to have to do without seeing him.

Cheryl Harrell · 06-23-2001, 06:38 AM

Yep... Once again the scrambled signal of TVLAND on the G5 satellite was super fuzzy & it was hard to see the Prinze. I could tell from what little I could see that it appeared to be the bathtub episode...

And in other sad news... I had seen for auction on the internet Freddie's autograph that had been obtained by some corporate photographer up for sale. Starting bid $9.99 or you could buy it now for $99.99. I thought well I'll wait until last minute to bid so no one can out bid me. I am now sorry I didn't bid on it yet but was waiting till later in the auction. Someone bought it at the buy it now price of $99.99. & I've never seen them on any Freddie/CATM sites either. Amazing how these strange people will buy what I want.

If they like him that much, they ought be on here.

If I couldn't have it, then one of ya'll should've been the one to have it.

I wish I had $99.99 to spend like that... Oh well I have saved a copy of it on my puter...

I know what you mean..We lost TVland over here too....In its place for a while we nowhave a tech tv channel..how awful!!!! The guy from our cable company says they have the equipment to bring it back on but a deal so to speak has to be reached between the cable compay and TVland... Oh well..hope it wont be long...

hue_mee · 06-23-2001, 06:27 PM

I'm glad that atleast you have your tapes. I would get loopy with either one of them ! I know what your going through . I was the same when I had no cable and internet service. Having no contact with Chico and the man episodes and no internet to keep in touch with all my CATM friends drove me up the wall.
Good luck with your survival !

Cheryl Harrell · 06-24-2001, 04:05 AM

Thanks for the support! If it weren't for the internet there would be no way to find info on him as magazine etc do not write on him. You guys have really helped me along in getting into him!
