Awake: 5:00am Temp 34 Morning snow & afternoon sun
Overnight @ Nicktown
We attend the 8:00am communion service & then join the inciting coffee
club members for 45 min.
After breakfast, the FedEx guy delivers our 2nd satellite receiver……this
time, to our door. Now at least this guy knows our home on wheels address
in Nicktown.
And now, the installation of the front satellite receiver begins. It takes
a good hr & goes well. Kathy is using our computer in the living room so I
begin doing the direcTV setup with the bedroom unit first. Using the new
remote that is included with the receiver, I complete 8 of the 9 steps
before the final activation….& guess what? It failed the 9th & final step?
No transponder signals! The next 3 hrs were taken up with more coax cable
checking, manual reading & phone calls to Ron @ the Newell factory & tech
support @ DirecTV.
Did the new satellite receivers make a difference? Doesn’t appear so! Do
we have a coax cable problem? Don’t know for sure. Working with Ron @
Newell using the cordless phone by double checking power supplies & coax
cables that are directly associated with the satellite system, didn’t
reveal any new revelations but……Ron did give me an updated phone number
for TracStar in Florida for more help on our: “In Motion Satellite
System”. Local time now 5:05pm so I’ll be making that call tomorrow.
7:10 dinner: Baked chicken with Brie & almonds, Penn pasta with Brie
sauce, broccoli, coleslaw & toast.
Mid evening: Kathy watches “Dancing with the Stars” on regular TV…I watch
about 20%. That show is slowly losing favor with me; too many commercials
& I just don’t agree with their grading system. Call in votes should be
limited to only 10% of the total votes verses 50%.
