Dig the Dish
By Ed. Filed in Home and Garden, TV |
For some strange reason, when we hooked up my TV to the digital cable box, we did something that has caused the TV to not turn on and off by the TV’s push button or switch. The only way to turn on the TV is to use the remote control that came with the cable box. And tonight the remote quit working. I tried new batteries and nothing seems to make the TV come on.
I thought that it might be worth a shot to borrow the cable remote from a neighbor and see if the remote is the problem or perhaps the TV is no longer working. It’s one thing to replace a remote and quite another to replace the TV.
My neighbor to the south was home, as I saw her car in the driveway. I dashed over to her house in between the snow flakes and knocked on her door. When she came to the door, I asked if I could borrow her cable remote. It was at that moment that I realized she does not have cable. She has a satellite TV dish in her yard. DUH!
Since I was already over there, I talked with her for a few moments about her satellite TV service. She told me that she loves it and that if I am interested in becoming a subscriber, I should check for DIRECT TV Offers to see if there are any DIRECT TV Specials that I can use to save money.
Turns out that you can get online and easily check for DIRECTV Specials for different packages and free offers for new subscribers. When you have the opportunity present itself to rethink your service, it might be the chance to save a little money or perhaps get more bang for your buck, like the DIRECTTV Specials I found online tonight.
