Now WTF should I do??? I have been praying for this day for the 13 friggin years the piece was running and I just didn't want it to end this way. It was giving me some sh&t and I couldn't take it anymore. No electronics were injured in the events that transpired, although my beloved Vikings didn't fare as well. Please help me with my conundrum I have guests coming on Thurs and Sat this week and now the damn thing gives up the ghost.
Its a console 32" that is older than dirt, but I wanted to get something newer about Christmas time. Now I also may have to buy a stinkin entertainment center to hid the satellite box, DVD player and sound system that was housed within.
Oh me oh friggin my- shit happens for reasons, but this really sucks. I can see Best Buy from my hotel room.. Curse you RCA why couldn't you give me one more week!
F*cking TV finally died!

Plasma is the shit. I have an unhealthy relationship with mine. Porn and football have never looked better.

Thanks for the tips folks,
I haven't bought one yet because I keep watching the prices go down. I don't want to spend more than a grand on it and as I wait they keep getting larger and better for the same money. I know I have to bite the bullet, but its too hard to do it.
The TV has no sound or picture, and when I took the back off of it there is light in the rear of the tube. I think it is something with the circuit board anyways I am sick of it. I took the TV out of the bedroom so far but now I have to watch a tiny 13" model in the bedroom. sucks for skinemax at night.

I've turned off the cable several months ago and use it only for DVDs...never felt better, I had about 100 channels and sometimes I couldn't find eve ONE interesting enough... I suppose it isn't much different in the US, so - follow my manner -you'll get much more time for reading, going out with friends, and drinking, of course. If there is a football match - go to the nearest bar and watch it, that's what I do and meet many new friends that way...
Greetings from wintery Bulgaria, where beer costs not much than 0,35$ a 500ml bottle, and its really good, believe me
well, that's in the local store, of course

2 beer or not 2 beer - that is an easy question!
Our tv croaked not long ago, and we went to Best Buy discount store and bought a 32" analog CRT for under $200. It works fine I don't care if I can't see the sweat dripping off a player and it's guaranteed till the time when the country has to go digital.Shaman_BG wrote:I've turned off the cable several months ago and use it only for DVDs...never felt better, I had about 100 channels and sometimes I couldn't find eve ONE interesting enough...
