We regularly have people contact us with problems getting their TV or cable to work, and don't know some very easy troubleshooting tips. Many times a service call can be prevented by just trying these simple steps, saving you frustration, time and money. There are also a few basic suggestions regarding TV screen cleaning and what NOT to use on your TV , laptop, or mobile devices.
