I know this has nothing to do with DJing. I thought I had an issue with the cable company and why the TV stopped working. I went to play a DVD and tried to change the channel on the TV so I can get to the DVD player to play a DVD of the Golden Girls. So the channel wouldn't change and the TV screen shows 17 yellow lines on the screen. So I called the cable company to get the issue resolved. I did as I was told and that is turn the volume down on the TV instead of using the cable remote. Nothing. That was around 2:30 in the morning. They are sending me another remote only to find out when I called them back, nothing wrong with the cable TV. The issue is I was instructed to use the power button on the cable box to turn the box off and on. The lines were still there. The guy tells me the problem is with the TV.
The guy couldn't believe how calm I was when he told me the problem. I figured no need to curse the TV out, that won't make the TV start working the way it used to. I will be getting a new TV and I will be in need of a TV stand because the one I have won't work for the newer model TVs. Looking at getting a 40 inch TV. The thing that sucks is that I just bought a brand new laptop and now the TV is shot. The picture minus the lines on the screen is still great! It's a big back TV and I have had that TV for well over 15 years. So time to put it out to pasture. Not a good time right now with all that's going on. Thankfully I have the money to buy the items. I got the money together last night but the store was closed. For the TV looking to spend no more than $250 for the TV since the price of TVs has gone way down.
My point is I can complain about the problem and do nothing or look for a solution. The solution is to buy a new TV. Especially since I can't turn the TV off or lower the volume. I have to pause the DVR on a program so there's no sound. Now for the DJ side we've been asked are we ruined with the DJ business because of the situation we're in right now. I say what do you plan to do once things clear up? We know the problem. So going forward what's your solution to the problem once things get better which I believe it will?
