My TV stopped working a couple of days ago. I, too, have a second TV, a small one; and at first the digital receiver worked with it, then, it stopped too. So, I had to listen to the Wizard of Oz -- it was on the only non-digital channel that's dodgy on some TVs... I foresee a mournful Christmas... (I find it hard to believe the city will close down, but the neighbourhood gives every sign of doing just that, because, I suppose, of the two-Sunday thing. It's freezing-fog-type weather here, but not actually freezing yet.
