Blood and guts and RCA cables in my teeth

[prog]

Resolve to kill my (cable) television is rising, between several of you egging me on and my just now succeeding in getting my new iPod to output to my TV using a cable I already owned. (This took a little research. It tuns out that iPods switch around the three RCA plugs' duties, so if you plug them into the TV in the usual way, it doesn't work. I hadta read this article to learn the translation, which is basically: Insert the red RCA plug into the yellow TV input socket, the white into the red, and the yellow into the white. Doy.)

I actually called RCN but oddly their salesbots don't work on Sunday evenings. So, tomorrow. If I'm reading the website right I might be able to save more than $60/month, too. We'll see.

Looks like Griffin has let the cat out of the bag...this cable's only $5 overpriced. ;)

Now, the new clip-on Shuffles look like they *charge* through the 3.5mm jack, which is a bit odd...but I guess they were out of ports.
