Hi all from Ft.Myers. I came down on Tuesday as I planned. Yesterday, Mom & I tackled signing up for Comcast Cable and DVR and high speed internet. We picked up the equipment because I was confident I could hook it up myself.
I did, mostly. I changed the modem location to their guest room but ended up calling Comcast because I couldn't get the connection CD to work. Turns out, the CD was the problem. The tech I talked to had to reset the modem. Then all was well. Got the wireless router hooked up and Mom is organizing her documents into folders.
The TV was another matter. The back of theirs didn't look like the diagram. And when I turned it on, I got the "no signal" message. Jerry helped me out on that one. I had to change the input... and a couple of other things and YAY - success.
Lori is here now and I need to make a trip to Publix.

YAY indeed! I'm glad you got it hooked up before I had to come back down. I'm pretty much clueless on the TV's. Are they still trying to use that old VCR? Can you get them to sign up for a DVR? That was my advice in March. Enjoy your time!
ReplyDeleteI think that's what she got hooked up to the TV! I talked to her earlier. WTG, Aunt Di. I can't wait to hear about all the programs they'll get to watch now.
ReplyDeleteA DVR was part of the package we got. I left the VCR and DVD player hooked up to the TV so they could watch their tapes and DVDs. Mom has already recorded a program. I'm so proud of her!
