I’m in the middle of a back and forth right now with Panasonic about what they can do to help me get this problem fixed. If they can just send me the $5 part to fix the thing and tell me how to do it, I’ll keep the set and try to make it work. Otherwise, it may be time to cue up “Still” by the Geto Boys…

Just like the movie Office Space. You and you’re roommates should grab a bat and take turns at pounding it into oblivion. I mean you tried to donate it and they turned you down. Enough is enough. For all the frustration it gave you, you should give it right back. Now go grab yourself a bat and relish in the satisfaction it will bring you.

Something about the television not being able to receive the infrared signals wouldn’t make it happen. It’s annoying because it should work perfectly, but it doesn’t.

Hi Mom – the remote isn’t the problem, it’s the television’s ability to accept the remote’s signal. In fact, we’re using the remote on another Panasonic television that I have in our living room. I’d like to donate the set, but I can’t find anywhere that will take it. Even the Monmouth County SPCA won’t accept the television!

You keep the TV on channel 3, and the remote actually is operating the digital box… not the TV.
