It is an irritable experience, if the TV breaks down at festival times like Christmas and you will have to miss viewing on all the good programs. The problem can be tackled in a number of ways; some of them are given below:
1. In case, you are capable of using the operating manual and the type of problem is simple like tuning, you can save on repair charges. Provided, of course, that you have not or misplaced the manual.
2. When you find that the problem cannot be tackled by you, a TV technician’s services are required and that may be costly, even for finding out what has gone wrong. You will have to decide whether to replace it with another or retain the same.
3. Just to get over the Christmas period, you may think of some ad hoc solutions. It may be getting back your old Television set into service or if it is not available, bringing out the set kept in your bedroom for all to watch.
4. In case, your TV set is new, there are no worries, as the dealer has to take care of the repairs without charging you as per the warranty contract.
5. You do not have to spend on repairs, if the TV is rented. The leasing company has to make good all manufacturing problems and attend all repairs, free of charge.
6. In case, the set is quite old and you feel that spending a big amount on repairing it, is not justified, the option is to purchase a new TV. But, the ideal time to purchase a new TV is January.
7. Instead of spending a lot of money for a new TV, you may go for rentals, and get the best model for viewing. That will take care of repair charges also, if the need arises. You get a TV set, you may not afford to purchase because of the price.
8. If you decide on the rental option, look for it immediately, in time for X-mas.
