It has been flashing zeroes across the digital display.  Am I getting free power?

No there just isn't enough room on the display for the rest of the 0000s, probably using 1,000,000,000 Kwh.

You're supposed to draw down and chase them off your property.

Why do I get the feeling the Meter is smarter than you?

Place a metal coffee can over top of it.  This will prevent them from communicating with the smart meter.

If they installed it today - I think it will flash all zero's until it updates (or syncs, or something), which they do the night of install (I think).

I will, just making sure it isn't supposed to work that way before calling.  I'm not up to speed on these fancy new technologies.

Ah, gotcha.  Thanks.  I will wait until tomorrow then to call.
