Who knows why. Well, somebody (the satellite guy? the family member?) had connected some unknown wire into the box. And we never talked about it because the signal to the 2nd t.v. was not doing anything.

Just now, to take a picture of the back of that t.v., while I was holding the sides to turn it back to its place, LO AND BEHOLD, the t.v. *********CAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Huh?!1 Just HUH?!1

The satellite guy had been here early this morning just to hear me chew him out and just kept saying I only had a connection for ONE t.v., not both, and he didn't touch it. And the relative had no clue that whatever he did was something.

Will now just hold my breath every time I Power On. If it goes out, I then will pursue the DUers' online ordering places and the local outlets I found out about. Thanks, ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
