Topic: Ever have this happen?

[Cheesemaker]

We've been having problems with our satellite signal for our TV.  I played with the receiver box, all the connections and the TV.  I do all the signal tests and everything myself before calling the company.  I get on the phone and they walk me through all the steps I just did, again!  And this gal on the other end says I'll need to call my local satellite installer.  So, I call them and she walks me through things again, including all the other buttons features on the TV.  And then I tell her to send a guy out to fix it, and just then my almost 3 year old daughter walks by and pushes a button and instantly the satellite reception was fixed.    

I felt like a total idiot!  And I told the gal that it just all of a sudden fixed itself, and if things change I'll call back!  The gal on the other end probably thinks I'm and idiot too!  Is this a sign?  Do I need to go get help?  Please tell me this isn't the end of my life! 

If I can't fix a tv by pushing a damn button, I'm getting REALLY  about me putting my truck together!

Yea, in my day we didn't have buttons, we had knobs. Computers? we didn't need computers cause they didn't have the internet back then.

I hope when I do wind up in a wheel chair I have a cute nurse to help me figure it out, cause I am going to forget how it works a lot.

Sounds like a senior moment to me 

Hell, I got nutz when I grab the remote, hit a button by mistake and everything goes bland and then it's like WTF DID I DO!!! And we spend a half hour pressing things and never do figure out how we finally got it to come back on
I won't even try to watch the DVD player cause I worry about getting the cable back on.

you know its sad when your dad had to explain to you what a car-phone was back in the day, and now your reprogramming his itty-bitty new cell phone with internet, picture mail, etc. because he doesnt have a damn clue what hes doing.
dont even get me started on my father and a dvd player... Hah!

My mother INSISTED she did not need a cell phone. I insisted she did cause she's alone and drives out in the middle of nowhere. And now she can't live without it.
Fahgetabout the DVD player!

  I have got the answer..............COX DIGITAL CABLE!!! Although the technology is still even too great for my grandparents and I have to go and fix it half the time. You know, turn on the cable box, or put the tv on ch 3. What is with people these days not being able to use a remote?
