Yes, I was wondering the same thing because I did call another place
and they didn't even attempt to diagnose it over the phone. Both
places said it would cost between $50 and $55 just to come over here
and diagnose the problem. So on Thursday a guy will be coming over and
will tell me what's wrong. I'm already getting used to not having a TV
downstairs, and it's not the worst thing that's ever happened. Funny
how you get used to something and how quickly you can get used to not
having it. That first day, though, it felt like hell.

Thanks!
