F@ck'in Comcast, yet again..
Finally got done (for now) installing the flat screen in the kitchen post remodel and Comcast ****ed my shit up yet again. I mount the plate to the studs for the flat screen and go to mount the TV and the bottom of it is sticking out a good half inch more than the top. Why?? Because the AC power cord has a big ass box on it which is forcing the bottom of the TV to jutt out. Had to go to Home Depot and get bolts that were a good half in longer and about a dozen washers (6 each side on top) so that i could push the top of the TV out as well to make it parallel with the wall. Now the face of the TV is a good 5 inches off the wall when i was hoping to go with a low profile mount and have it at about 3.5 at the most.. :banghead:
Maybe i'm a perfectionist, but this bugs the shit out of me... :skep: |
You should of just got a big fugging hammer and bashed the box back into the sheetrock! Hell, it's behind the TV! :D
|
Oh and i have comcast digital voice for my phone.. And the phone went down yet again.. The alarm is linked to the phone line.. Now the alarm is beeping every 5 minutes telling me "Hey f@ckstick.. Comcast sucks donkey dick.. Change your f@cking phone provider or else i am gonna keep your ass up all f@cking night beeping n shit..."

I can get a new power cord for $10 if i ever need one. |
Comcast sucks. That is all.

I'm confused as to why the plug for the TV having a box on it (as you put it) is Comcasts fault. They make a recessed outlet that will go in your gang box but you probably already know this. Post up a pic of the carnage as I am curious what you're talking about.

Have you look around online to see if you can get a different AC adapter with a smaller footprint?
|
It won't be pretty, but you could always knock a hole in the wall to allow the ac adaptor a cavity to be recessed. You'd never see it unless the TV was removed.
|
Another thing...why the tiny TV? That wall could easily handle a 60". :leaving:

If it was the livingroom it would be 50"+. |
Comcast is the worst,no doubt,that is why I went with Knology in my area,no problems in 4 years now.:hurray:
|
So, if it had a conventional plug on it, you'd be better off?
