My wife is amazed. I can run a TV station, but not the television remote at home. Well, I DO television, but I don’t watch it. As a matter of fact, bank on the fact that I don’t like television very much. I’d instead be reading, working in my shop carving, or the garden.
Next week I have a ton of training to do at the station because the folks who provide the software that we use to run the computer equipment have come up with new and, one can only hope, better programs. So I’ll learn about software that can run multiple servers, three television stations, and a bulletin board, but I still won’t be able to to program or operate the home tv.
My wife has the grace to tolerate the situation and calls for our son when she can’t figure something out. I appreciate this tact because it is embarrassing.
Next week, I have an entire queue of videos and training programs to review and absorb. Will I spend any time on the home TV? Naw.

I don’t think you’re missing much. Sounds like there’s a whole lot more meaning in your hobbies. What kind of things do you like to read?
“new and, one can only hope, better program.” Oh yes! There’s always some new, better, more incomprehensible program. More chance for malfunction. I for one would be happy if WP would return to the simpler version I started with.
Yeah, WP keeps on “improving”, and causing problems for folks like you and me.
My elderly cousin had a remote control for her TV and had to call technical support every week or so to get them to straighten it out for her. She kept switching it to video mode so she couldn’t watch TV.
My son is her IT support.
You’re going to run a TV station on top of everything else you do? Wow, good for you.
I’ve been running it full time for about twenty years
