Well, the TV is still gimping along, but our satellite receiver went out. It technically still works, but the sensor for the remote control quit working, so you have to change the channel by pushing a little button on the front of the receiver. Not too bad, unless you want to switch from channel 200 to channel 500. Then you would have to push that little button 300 times. The receiver we have is pretty old, but my husband doesn't like change. He had me look on eBay (I know, what a shock, me surfing eBay) for another receiver exactly like the one we have. I actually found tons of them. I didn't think I would find any as old as it is, but there they were. Most of them were really cheap because they didn't come with the little computer swipe card that lets the satellite company know what you're doing. If you don't realize the receiver won't work without the swipe card and bought one without the card you would wind up with a really large black door stop. Luckily we could just take ours out of the broken receiver and pop it in the new one. Of course, the receiver went out Friday night, and even though we won the next auction available we still couldn't get the receiver until Wednesday. Now we're back in the 21st Century. Remote controls are wonderful things. We even have a fan with a remote control, and our gas fireplace has a remote control.
