lillian13Got home to discover that my TV and the U-verse DVR were still not speaking to each other. Called my friend J (who had given me the TV in the first place), and he assured me that resetting the aspect ratio in U-verse would fix the problem. However, he didn't have his handy-dandy cheat sheet that he'd made. He'd look for it.
Undeterred, I went online and found a set of screenshots that I thought would help me; they did, up to a point. So I girded my loins and tried AT&T tech support.
Well, there's 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
I finally had to browbeat her into trying to walk me through the reset procedure, which she failed at. Finally, after multiple resets, she said she couldn't help me. I called the World's Best Niece to have her help me with the steps, since she also has U-verse, (lo and behold, the tech had neglected to tell me a couple), but even that didn't work. So right now I have a TV that is a great DVD player and not much else. :-(
To top it all off, my toaster/convection oven decided to get all freaky on me. I was heating up some pizza and noticed that the LCD screen looked weird. Then it turned off, and when I unplugged it and plugged it back in, none of the controls would light up or turn on. *sigh*
Going to bed now. Enameling class tomorrow, thank goodness.
