One said, "No Time Information." The other said, "No Signal1." He pressed the System button again. The TV picture returned. He pressed the Power button. The two boxes appeared again. He pressed the Power button again. The TV picture returned. He pressed the Power and System buttons at the same time. The two boxes reappeared. He called up his cable2 company. He said, "I can't turn off my darn TV!" The rep asked, "Where are you aiming the remote?" He said, "I'm aiming it at the cable box, of course." She said, "No, that's wrong. You have to aim it between the box and your TV. Go ahead. Try it." He tried it. The TV instantly3 turned off.
