Watching The Holiday....pretty fun so far, but am so pissed my remote is dying....have called my [View all]

cable, and yes I still have cable, about it 3 times within the last 3 days!!! I have received 3 different corrections to fix the problem. Have kept my cable only because they are local, ya know two counties away. But am so pissed.......now I have no volume or mute and as previously can’t turn the tv off. At least I have the option to change channels and fast forward with this movie I am watching. I am soooooooooooo pissed, and what’s hilarious??? My remote is a gawd damn fire stick FROM GAWD DAMN AMAZON!!!!! Yah, our small town cable company hooked us up about 1.5 years ago with these new remotes!!!! Damn, damn, damn. So now i’m stuck with a remote that doesn’t allow mute, or volume increase or decrease, and I swear I’m afraid to turn it off, because when I’ve done it before??? I CAN’T TURN IT BACK ON. So, here I am watching the pretty cute movie “The Holiday” with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black.....and I can’t hear them, I do have the closed captioning which helps, but damn. HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I AM SO PISSED!!!! Now I have to buy a new remote from amazon, that’s what the 3rd advisor guy told me. Ugh.....i’m old, I just want my remote to work....I am so missing the days when we just had 3 channels to chose from, ABC, CBS, & NBC. Life was so much easier then. *sigh*
