TV Tuner, 'At's Me!
My dad, once again, liberated a TV set on its way to the recycler. This one is a 1991 RCA model built for HOTEL use. Two remotes, with various degrees of functionality. So Dad wanted me to figure out how to reset it so it would work with a converter box.
At first I thought I would need a master remote control like the ones I used as a Night Auditor in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Then I Googled the model number and found a techie fix: there is a little hole on the front and if you stick a long, thin, metal instrument there, you could toggle the Setup functions of the built-in control buttons. So I did that, erased all the channels but #3, and now it's converter box-ready.
I guess Google and me almost add up to a competant technician.
