Hand Hooked
Second hand television only picks up three very fuzzy chanels. What do I do?
I bought a televsion second hand. I wasn\t sure it worked. when i plugged it in and hooked it up, it only picks up a few fuzzy channels. Does this mean it's broken? Or is there a connection problem? What should I do? It's an RCA Colortrax if that helps.
If you connected the set to a known good antenna then the tuner unit in the TV needs replacement .
Cheers Pete
We have been dealt a hand which is very difficult to play with any sort of confidence. However, we must realize that hardly anybody is holding a good hand, and thus we are not necessarily down and out. From now on, it all comes down to skill and a little bit of luck.
Of course, it is all to do with money. In some cases the safety of it, but mostly the lack of it. Include the malady of housing and jobs into the equation, and this should be sufficient to give most people a king sized headache.
There is no percentage in moaning or being depressed. Hard times can often bring great opportunities and the sooner one looks for them, the better. How many times does one hear of needing luck to be in the right place at the right time? It is more likely, that great effort needs be made to make sure to be in that right place at the right time!
The ability to anticipate with a high degree of accuracy the pros and cons of whatever venture one wishes to succeed in, can only be achieved by taking the bother to become knowledgeable and well informed . Good anticipation is the key to win whether it is in tennis, chess, football, or in any kind of business. It is also important when needing to get out of problems.
People who do their jobs with feeling, care, and interest are the last ones who are made redundant because they are in the indispensable bracket and are released only if there is no other way. A good employee is always noticed. Although skill is vital, willingness also plays a major part.
On the housing front, if you are selling, you expect to get less than you would months ago. Equally, if you are a buyer, you expect to get a property much cheaper now than months ago. Since everyone has to live somewhere, in theory one thing should cancel the other. There are of course people who buy and sell or build houses as a business, and who have come to a halt at the moment. They did have a good run for their money nevertheless, and one cannot be on a winner all the time.
The difficulty of being able to borrow money with ease, or if at all, does have a huge bearing on the housing market or car market and many other cases, but on the other hand, it stops the ones who are reckless in their spending habits, albeit it does not help the economy where spending keeps the wheels turning.
Many will not be able to keep up the lifestyle to which they hooked unto. Some will have to go back to the spending limits which they knew all about before the boom days, while others will have to tighten their belts within limits they never experienced before. All will have to be resilient to difficult times in order to succeed.
One must come to terms with rising unemployment during a recession period, but it is essential to keep a positive outlook on things. The way forward has to be to recognize that the more knowledgeable one is, the more indispensable one becomes.
Time is always valuable. If you have less work and thus more free time, never waste it. Keep perfecting your skills, and this will propel you ahead of your competitors in due course.
