The vicious rectangle appeared on our Sharp TV Saturday afternoon. We had planned to buy a new standoffish for our
Philips DVD/VCR player that day anyway because the one we had didn't work anymore. Not even fresh batteries could lay it.
Our first mistake was buying the wrong brand of remote control for our DVD/VCR participant. It was a Vizio. We don't have anything in the Vizio brand. The remote just looked trim and pretty. Unfortunately, Vizio did not play well with any of the brands of electronics we had.
I called Vizio for complicated support. After several attempts -- both online and on the phone, I found out they could only help me if I had a Vizio TV. OK. That lonely was going to be returned. And I still had the black rectangle, which was especially annoying given the playoff football games being air.
I tried calling DISH network thinking they could send someone out to trade with the black rectangle. They could not, because they figured it was a problem with the remote or the TV. Anything I tried, I still had the dastardly rectangle, until someone, I can't remember which company, gave me the number for Sharp. The abigail helped me through the process that removed the black rectangle. Joy was felt -- and expressed -- throughout the household!
