Well...I'm in mourning.
My 18 year old Hitachi Plasma TV...according to the cable guy...has finally bit the dust. No explosions or dramatics...just didn't come on last Thursday night...after watching it Thursday morning. Thought something was wrong with the primary box, or some other thing to do with the cable company. They wanted to come Friday, but the wife and I were attending a wedding at the time they wanted to make the appointment. So, Saturday at 0830, the guy comes and does some tests...and after 15 minutes of checking everything, pronounces it's my TV.
Well, I didn't take that as gospel, so he calls in his field supervisor. He says the same thing. Yea...it's not our equipment, it's your TV.
Bull ****...Now I'm pissed. Gonna hafta figure a way to set it up off of cable and get a picture to come on. Guess I gotta get one of those antenna things so I can grab a signal outta the air...like we use to do back in the day...and see if it will work.
That, or buy a new TV.
****...I love that TV.
Picture was like you were there...clear / crisp / great sound....nothing wrong with it at all...until it just doesn't come on...
a few hours after I just watched it.
Unbelievable.
