Please support me in my time of trials and tribulations

[brettallica]

Not to be blasphemous or insensitive to the "real world" issues going on right now (economy, war, etc. etc. etc.) ... but ... hey, this is the off-topic forum, where we're anything but that for the most part.

My TV went out last night!!!

Fortunately it's still covered under warranty. I just got off the phone with the authorized service provider for my area, and he said it's a matter of one of the logic boards going out; he's going to replace them both free of charge, fortunately. Unfortunate is that this won't happen until mid- to late-next week, meaning I'll be sans home theater for a week! What am I going to do?!

The semi-ironic thing about my TV going out at this exact time is that my wife and I do Netflix rentals, and we always rent Blu (duh) and watch the movie through our home theater on Saturday night, which is our default (and mandatory) date night. Well we only have one Blu-ray player, which is hooked up to my HDTV, but this week we rented a movie in DVD format because it wasn't available in Blu from Netflix. This means that we'll at least get to have our date night -- kinda -- as we can still watch the movie on our master bedroom TV.

Please pray for your fallen comrade.
