I know me who knows nothing about TV´s went and bought a 32" smart TV. well it was cheap and Downton is about to start. !

So for the last 2 days me and said TV have looked at each other, I don´t think it´s any smarter than I am ! Because I am still non the wiser :-S
Saturday a chappie is coming out to see about a dish and hopefully show me where the on button is. :-0 and the off :-P

When did Tv´s get so complicated ?
and I have to admit I only paid for the smart because I can run my media thro´it and all the rest I have on external drives. ;-)

AnnC I have to own up hubby who knows less than I do about TV's but a lot more about computers said it was a bargain, his boss has offered us more money to sell it to her and that says a lot !

Just got to work out how to use it !! :-S

Well the TV is still sitting there staring at me and that is after I have read the booklet. At least we have taken it out of it´s box :-D The last tele we acquired (won it in a raffle) sat in the box for 2yrs until I sold it. :-S
I have worked out how to .........put the batteries in the remote ;-) This is going to be amusing.

I don't understand technology very well at all, am afraid of electricity because I don't understand it, can do very little on the computer, have the most basic of mobile phones and yet I have always set up the TVs.

It is just one of those things I can do without thinking like I could gas weld the first time I picked up a torch and have never had a white sauce split on me.

I go into panic mode everytime I sit on the remote by mistake. It asks me all sort of questions. Sometimes the screen changes shape, othertime it freezes and asks me what I want to do. I have every sympathy for you and hope that it starts working soon.

...............It was so much easier when all we had to do was wait five minutes for it to warm up. -j
