So this morning I had no audio on my TV... [View all]

I tried to reboot, which often works for other problems. Nope. Called U-verse and tried their re-boot. Then talked to a person. He took me thru a lot of things to try to fix the problem...pulling out sound cables from the back of the vcr box, other maneuvers that required hubby to come in and help as I had to hold a flashlight to see behind the vcr...all this went on for ONE HOUR...then the ATT person gave up and said they''d send me another vcr by UPS, no charge. Fine.

One hour later I come downstairs to make brunch and hubby has TV on with SOUND! Thrilled, I praised him for fixing the problem!

Uh, it seems that he had suddenly remembered that last night he had (for some reason) reduced the sound to 0, fell asleep in front of the tv and when he woke up to go upstairs forgot to restore the sound level...So...

Don't ask why he didn't just "mute" the sound (I already did, he doesn't know why). Good question as to why the ATT guy didn't ask either...

Sometimes I think it is scary to live in my house...
