Family bought us a new tv 10 days ago. Took our sons 3 hours to reconnect all the plugs and wires. Still trying to learn which remote works what and which buttons produce what kind of results. BUT, the color and sound are great and we oldsters can read the program descriptions. That helps because, based on those few words, we have rejected 97% of the channels, and 99% of the programming on the rest. What does that leave, you ask? A few of the best from decades past, when movies and their directors and stars took their work seriously, whether serious drama or playful comedy.
Saw a meme about parents being denigrated for their lack of technical know-how with modern devices reminding their kids who know all that stuff that they taught them to use a spoon.

Well, just a little help with how to turn their TV on using the remote. Then we’ll be able to visit.

Can’t it be both? I always have a list when my son visits.

Rescan the TV and pig out.

Apparently they were having trouble getting into GoComics and thought he could fix it.
