Over the holidays, we got rid of cable. The TV was set for it, yet when we disconnected the cable and tried connecting a streaming service, my husband and daughter had some issues. It appeared to not want to work. I mentioned to them that maybe unplugging the TV may reset it and perhaps it … More The Great Reset
