Almost There

 on the way to 3 000 posts. Wondering. Would the # be important if I weren't locked down < again >

Likely yes, this blog is my outlet for .... well, everything You get stuck reading the drivel

So, how was your morning ? Us. From 9 AM, I finagled the TV controls, internet connections etc. - TV was down.

I went through the sequence of troubleshooting techniques.

Restart the TV box
Refresh which is a system shutdown
Unplug the TV box or translator from modem to TV
Unplug the modem 

Read the troubleshooting guide for the TV
Prayed to who ever we could think of

Finally, called technical issues at Telco, Rogers. Helpful guy < Denis >
worked through a 30 minute triage. Which included updates to the TV box, shut down of internet from the remote terminal etc.

I ended up going downstairs and bringing up the downstairs TV box b/c it was working.
I plugged in the downstairs box   < BTW, the guy was still on the phone >. Yes. Yes.
Then I had mentioned that the upstairs TV box was hardwired to the TV box. The tech goes ' hey, lets disconnect the ethernet cable ' on the upstairs box. Wait for it. Wait....... wait. Yes !

After all that, it becomes evident that the ethernet cable is faulty or incompatible. The freaaking ethernet cable !!!!!

Beer is so good at 11 AM - its Happy Hour someplace on the planet

Do you have suggestions for # 3 000 post ????
