Little ole Ladies are the best for home service calls. I just did one yesterday. I drove 12 miles, but, I had to go over that direction anyway, so the gas didn't apply. All I had to do was un-plud the Sat. RX for a few seconds, and plug it in, so it would re-set itself. The TV had a vertical retrace problem also,...but, she said she was used to that, and since it was an OLD 25" Zenith console, she declined my estimate of $95 to pull the chassis, and replace the e-caps in the vertical. I just charged her $30, and happly went on me way. Can't charge much for a service call around here. I was lucky to get the minimum amount out of her,...although she didn't complain. She just went in the bedroom, and came back with $30 CASH. That's the most $$$ I've made in the last 3 weeks ! (and that's NO lie.) ;-) LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main "Where there's a will,... Centerfield, UT 84622-0087 There's always a way."
