I think you did fine. I agree with PM, but if you just asked him Thursday I would give him a week or 2 to allow him time to do it. Then if he doesn't, I think you should just call the cable company. Maybe next time you could ask if he wanted to fix it or have you call someone which he prefers? I do think trying to be independent is very important, but sometimes if $$ is tight, that might be a consideration too. Karen
