On Friday in the heat poor Bagman drove 50km to get our digital set top box/recorder (TOPFIELD) sorted out. Long story (like the ACER) but we've had problems with bad recordings and jumbled pictures. It's been back for checkup 3 times and we were promised a replacement should it continue to muck up and providing we had the tv antenna checked. We did the new antenna and every thing seemed fine for a week or two but then back to crazy pictures again. The techs could find nothing wrong with it but I wasn't prepared for Bagman to come home with the same machine and the tech supervisor relented, giving us a temporary replacement box while they try to ascertain what the problem is (the whole time saying 'there's nothing wrong with your box'. Enough to drive you to tears.
Anyway I spent 3 hours trying to reconnect the tv, topfield and dvd recorder. Drove me nutty. Had pictures show it was wired last time but couldn't get a signal. All of a sudden at midnight we had a picture. Hurrah. This morning I got Poppy & ET to take photos of the connections AND draw pictures of how the connections were made. We really had to get it going in time to watch the Grinch. Funny Christmas movie - lots of great lines - well worth a look even from an adult's perspective. On that note, have a stupendous Christmas, one and all.
