USA ONLY

Posted by Kim on September 19, 2009
Here's a hint:
If you are planning to move to a new country and take some of your things with you, check the back of your TV for a little label that says "USA ONLY". It will save you a lot of trouble if you do.

We didn't.

So, when the technician came to install our satellite TV, he was unsuccessful. He spent four hours at our house and even called another technician for assistance. When he finally gave up, we called another specialist from Comet to have a look. After an hour and several phone calls, he told us that it just wasn't going to work. He said, "Apparently, USA ONLY means just that."

So on Monday we will be getting a brand new TV. It is actually the exact same model as the one we already have, but it is the British model. So in theory it will work.

Is nothing ever simple?

Funny... well not so funny... we had the same thing happen here, only it was with our computer router... our computers were US and so was our router... funny thing is that the computers were fine but the router was not. We bought about 4 different kinds of routers and had about 4 different electricians/computer specialists over and finally it was determined we needed a Japanese router...why didn't guy number 1 tell us that? It gets crazy overseas! Luckily someone warned us ahead of time about the TV and the DVD players.... sorry I did not warn you... I would have thought an english speaking country would be ok...my bad :(.
