I blame Mercury Retrograde for this; it may not be strictly scientific, but I've definitely seen a corollary between Mercury Rx and this kind of problem. (Mercury rules things like electronics, communication, travel, etc., so all of these things can be, and in my experience, have been affected by Mercury Rx, none of them in a good way. It's also not a good time to sign contracts or start new ventures, although working on ongoing projects is just fine, and highly recommended. I can tell you through sad personal experience that moving cross-country during Mercury Rx is A Really Bad Idea; I did just that over Labor Day weekend of 1997, and "U-Hell" is the main reason that cthulhia will never, ever, EVER help me move ever again, not that I really blame her.)

tl;dr version: blame it on Mercury retrograde, and don't get a new TV, etc. until after Monday at the earliest, when it finally goes direct.
