DIGITAL T.V.

Along with wrinkles and aches and pains, it seems that old age also brings the inability to figure out “new fangled” things. Last Nov. I purchased a converter box for my T.V. and felt pleased that I actually figured out how to hook it up. But in January I unhooked it so that I could watch a movie I rented. And this is where my problem began.

On Friday of this week, television stations will no longer display analog T.V. Since I haven’t watched television for the past nine months I thought I better check my set today to make sure it worked. Well guess what – no picture and no sound? I immediately called the 800 number printed on the converter box. Thank goodness the manufacturer displayed it so prominently. No doubt they probably expected lots of calls.

To make a long story short, I only had to wait a few minutes and the young man I spoke to very patiently helped me figure out how to fix my problem. I’m glad I took care of it this morning, though it will probably be another year until I even watch another program.
