4. My mother in law experienced the same thing weeks ago

We brought her a 50 inch smart tv Samsung or Sony at Best Buy and set it up when we visited her 2 years ago and it died. She first called the cable company who came and said it was the tv not cable. This is total bs. But call Sony and see if you can get it repaired In home.

Personally, I would just buy a new tv, and have the delivery people put the old one in storage.

And if you lived in a senior home you’d be on your own. I move people into senior living places and they’ll help with the initial hookup but after that you’d have to arrange for the repair on your own or you’d have to have get a new tv.

I’m hesitant to buy from Best Buy again.


Good luck
