    It does not connect to my TV because during the test for the speakers which went fine. Then it would not connect to the arc. Because arc does not populate on this. Where you only can have coaxel or digital or analog. It's terrible, and I'm not sure what to do

    When we signed up a total tech membership, they said all the electronics and appliances will be delivered and installed free but when we call them to schedule the installation, they said that we need to pay for installation and they can only give 20% discount for total tech members.
