How would you know if she was in her invisible jet?

Oh, no!

IF it's NOT a jet, what is making that noise when she passes by?

-----------------

Work with me?

The cable box goes on a TV.

I check the box - it seems like it's gone bad, so I bypass the box and run the cable directly into the TV.

Now? I have to have the TV rescan the channels - That takes ten minutes each time.

After I run the scan, some channels disappear and dead channels are put back into mix.
I re run the scan and then the TV tells me that the cable has gone bad.
After running to the store and buying replacement cables, pulling and attaching the new cables?

I have to pull out the directions and re-run the scan another 5 times before I finally get most of the channels back.


---------------

A TV that is smart enough to know what connection port I am using, it too stupid to know what kind of signal my cable company is using - STD, HRC, IIRC.
HUH?

Why do I have to re-scan the channel lists?

Again, smart TV, stupid hoops to jump thru.

Why is the sheet of directions an origami project - 16 different pages on a giant sheet of paper that has NO numbers or way to show in which order to read the darn thing?

And why are the instructions written in typeface small enough to give me a headache?

And why are the instructions written in advanced tech jargon?

"Choose the type of cable signal your provider is using?"

I think they are using electrons, I may be wrong?

I spent 3.5 hours messing with the dang thing before I 'fixed' it.

Now? I just have to take the cable box back and re-install it.

Fun times ahead?
