I Can If I Have Too!

Everybody that knows me knows that I am not good with electronic stuff. That includes TV'S and Computers or Kindles or anything else I might have. I usually have to get my daughter Jana to come and help me with all of that. Thank goodness she only lives a few blocks away. I wouldn't even know how to turn on a computer if it wasn't for her.

I got a new computer for Christmas and she set it up for me, put a virus protector on for me. It took a long time to transfer pictures and documents over from the old one. She patiently done that for me. I help her too in different ways .

Yesterday I ask her to come over as I had several things I couldn't do. This thing on my computer kept popping up to put in code numbers instead of a password. It was just annoying though. Sometimes it would pop up when you didn't even need a password. She took that off for me. She put the virus protector on for me. Another thing was popping up about a driver so she took that off for me.

Then there were some things I couldn't fix on my TV. My DVD player needed hooked up to the TV. It hadn't been hooked up since I came back from Sweetwater. The cord wasn't on it so we couldn't do that. I would have to find that today. I have Dish and not used to it so I had some things recording every day that I did not want recorded. I also wanted closed caption on where if I don't hear everything I can at least read it. She went into menus but she couldn't find how to do those things.

This morning we were going to go to Target and do a little shopping. While I was waiting on her to come I found the book to Dish.  I found where it describes what you do to fix things never dreaming I could do it. I found in the Table of Contents how to record for the DVR. AHA! It said deleting a timer. It looked pretty simple. It said to press the Menu button and then select Daily Schedule. Select Timers and then Edit List. Select the timers  to delete. Delete them! That was simple!


I was getting braver now. I looked up Closed Captioning. You had to go to Menu for that too. It said to select Preferences and then Closed Captioning. Turn it off or on. Then select done. Then you just select your display options. Your Caption Font and Size. Your Caption Colors. Caption Edge Style. Captioning Service. Caption Opacity. It took a little bit of trying different fonts and colors. When Jana came to pick me up to go to Target she helped me find a better Font. But I had most of it. I am so proud of my self! I can do it if I just set my mind to it.

I went into the bedroom awhile ago and I was going to watch Melissa and Joey and the TV wouldn't come on. I will have to get Jana over here tomorrow! I have no idea what is wrong!












had to choose your Font and Size. Your
