1st there was a loud POP followed by darkness.

After the power came back on the very old TV in my bedroom refused to turn on.

At least my very old computer still works. So you'll be seeing a whole lot more of me.

The replacement TV is only 19" instead of 32" but it's better than nothing. In_The_Wind Aug 2016 #5

We also have 2 more old TVs in storage. With any luck I'll be watching TV in my bedroom later today. A steaming hot cup of coffee in hand.

I'm watching a bunch of hotties playing water polo right now, while I sip on my coffee.

Whew. What a relief. I was afraid I'd have to post more often to take up the slack while you were forced to go without television.

19" -- analog? Do you have a converter box to watch TV over the air, the way it's meant to be seen?
