amediaBad technology evening! After the excitement with the Go-Video died down, the TV pictures suddenly shrank and got jagged around its little bitty edges and there was a dreadful burning smell. We unplugged everything and sniffed around - the TV was toasted!
Mind you, this was an old TV when we got it. We got our 19-year-old, the only family member with two good knees at the moment, to haul it onto the back patio (which is all cement, so it can smolder safely if it needs to) and he brought down the little TV from his room and hooked it up to the TiVo; the characteristic fan panoply of recording devices will be reassembled later.
I would say, "What else can go wrong?" but I am SOoooo not going to. Besides, I don't know how much longer I can type, since this computer generally stays up for about 20 minutes at a time...
