was on the phone an hour, and followed all their directions to no avail. They charge $98 to send out a service technician tomorrow with new box and remote. Our remote, in the past, could be replaced at Walmart. Now AT&T makes you order it direct from them at higher cost of course. Christmas is the worst time of the year to be without television.
Tonight I will miss Hallmark's National Christmas Tree Lighting coverage and several Food Network holiday baking shows. Hopefully by tomorrow night it will be working again.
I think we are tv spoiled this time of year. :oops:


They must be grinches working for Direct TV. Another friend had the same problem. She wanted to know why she had to pay for repairs when she rented the equipment but did not own it. Hope you get it worked out Christmas friend!

Noel+ wrote:Jolly, did your relative receive the Christmas card I sent you in November? Hoping they forward the card to you as the postal lady said if I mailed you a new one it would not be received in Sweden before Christmas. Bummer. :|


She has not said anything. I will ask again. They are school teachers and pretty snowed in with school activities, helping my cousin who had leg surgery with her kids, etc. The mail is often neglected. One year, we got a Christmas card from Belgium.......in July......yes, it had been mailed in December. Don't worry about it, I don't want you to be out any more expense, especially since we did not do cards this year. Could be fun in July. :-) :elfgrin:

We had a thunderstorm last night. The wind rearranged some of my outside Christmas decorations. :snowwow:
