Haha, yes, jump rope a great body tuner upper?
I just switched on the TV and gosh DISH Networks greeted me with this screen
shot:
Welcome to DISH TUNER 1. What..I didn't know their was an auto-satellite
antenna matching system in the Hopper Box....;-).
I'm so confused because the remote control only allows me to change the
channels ;-/
Oops, end of test the wife took the remote control back - Happy Moms Day... The
Moms get to keep the auto-tuner remote all day log!
