Spectrum Begone



    One more home repair completed. The volume on the TV would drop out and I would have to turn the TV off and then on to retrieve it. Before calling for professional assistance, I checked the connections. I will say that the worst decision ever had been to locate the television set in a heavy oak cabinet. Trying to find the connections was a nightmare. I guess that setup made since years ago when there was a single  cord that plugged into the wall. But now with the tv isolated on an open stand, there are 5 different cables connecting the tv set to the cable box, in different colors for those who would discern such things. 

  When I touched a certain cable, the volume would lessen or disappear. The connection was firmly attached, but seemed to be slightly loose. The new cable, HDM1 arrived today, shipped from Monoprice. It was a simple matter to remove the old and attach the new. Both ends appear exactly the same, so I guess I couldn't have installed it backward.
