My television has been down since Tuesday. It has to do with my Tivo. This happened once before a couple of years ago and Cox sent a man out to fix it. It was the Tivo then too, He was not familiar with the way to fix it but he called someone who was and that person walked him through it.and he got it fixed just fine.
I hope this technician will be able to fix it and I will still be able to use the Tivo. I use it every day recording something..sometimes more then one program.
More Later...He is to be here between 10:0AM and noon.
When I opened the front door, Grey and Blondie were both out there looking for their breakfasts. I took each of theirs out there, Blondie had evidently been in a fight with a dog. He had some huge chunks taken out of his fur. When I set their breakfast out there, he started howling pitifully. I put their bowls separate a foot to a foot and a half away from each of them. He settled down then and ate, Grey was frightened of him because of his pitiful howls. He certainly looked pitiful.
When I went back in the living room, both Grey and Blondie were gone but soon the white cat came to eat on what was left in the bowls.
Bo, from Cox Complete Care, came this morning and installed a new card in my TV that eliminates the Tivo altogether. It is very simple and is very affordable. He stayed an hour and got everything set up and showed me how to use the TV and record without a Tivo. It would not be any more expensive and will available in one remote. I can record anything I want to watch and I have dozens of new channels to watch. It will cost $120. a month but will eliminate Amazon Prime. I can get anything I want to watch with their new card.
I called Sally to see if she had had lunch yet and she had not. I asked her if she wanted to go to Copan Restaurant for lunch and she thought that sounded good! So I will go pick her up now. It is 1:51 PM so we are late but Cox had been here all morning
More Even Later...
1. I will need to make some questions to ask Bo when he calls me Monday. For one thing I need to know how to get the red light turned off on the TV when you turn the TV off. I can get the lower red light off my using my former remote but that doesn't do anything for the red one under the TV picture.
2. I need to know what button to push to get the picture to come up. I think it's the channel button but after all the excitement this evening, I am not sure. I will ask him.
I spent 45 minutes in my clothes closet while we had the tornado warning. It was the only area in the house without a window.
It's 7:45PM and raining and I am going to take my bath now.
More Tomorrow..

Oh dear! I hope Blondie didn't get injured on his throat if he was howling to eat or swallow food. Might have been a coyote that fought him. Linda in Kansas
Things that don’t work are so annoying. Glad you found a solution.
