Ok... I understand and respect the fact that yesterday was Friday the 13th and that today was the full moon, but please people, grow a clue!

8 times in the last two days I've had to deal with 20mins of explaining that yes... the cable box really does need to hook to the tv in some way, either directly or through the vcr/dvd/whatever. Yes, you really do need a cbale going between them. Yes really. Cable box to tv. Yes. I'm sure. Really sir, I'm sure. Yes, that would be why you're getting that 'no signal' message. No sir, leave the cable that goes from the box to the wall alone, we need ANOTHER line going to the tv.

Dear Lord save us from the idiots.

I feel your pain. I do double duty as support for CATV and High Speed Internet in Northeast Tennessee. You either get someone who is so old they can't half hear you to begin with, let alone understand anything running with electricity or you get the ones that just have no technical knowledge of any kind, (think, VCR clock still flashing 12:00 as it has been for the last 5+ years). It can be a challenge. Usually one that I am not really wanting to do.
