Remote control for a panasonic tv
Curmudgeon replied to cedros's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I recommend this remote: Updated SofaBaton U1 Universal Remote with OLED Display and Smartphone APP, All in One Universal Remote Control for up to 15 Entertainment Devices, Compatible with Smart TVs/DVD/STB/Projector so on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XG1HT7G/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XSH5QG9GY33AJRNYZBGQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 You can enter your TV model number, and it will program itself from their online database. Uses a smartphone app. -
I always use Chapala Tree Service. Last week they trimmed my three huge palms, removed fruit bunches and dry material, and treated them for bugs. Total cost 2,400 pesos. The bug treatment is very important if you want to keep the trees alive. I also feel better when I know they are insured. It's a dangerous job.

The arroyos are a Federal responsibility. They are cleaning ours as we speak.

Try sending a WhatsApp message to 333-171-7143. At least you will be able to tell when he has read it . -

We are trapped in Las Palmas. Access road looks like the Raquet Club did 12 years ago. Big rocks, mud and trees came down from the mountain.

All of this discussion only proves one thing: that the service from the three providers varies from person to person. My personal experience: I've had Telmex fiber for more than a year. It is rock solid, no outages. The phone is crystal clear. It's less expensive than Total Play. I'm paying $599 pesos/month and getting 200 down and 100 up. Obviously YMMV

LCS used to do it, but no longer. I had to do it myself. Not difficult.

How to get a US number for a new smartphone
Curmudgeon replied to Ruidoso's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I have found that most NOB financial institutions will not send authentication texts to any VOIP phone, including my Magicjack. For this purpose I have an old smartphone with a chip from Consumer Cellular. In that phone I have an app that forwards all incoming texts to my email. That phone just sits on a shelf and does it's job. My main smartphone then recieves all US texts in my email inbox. Works for me -
I second the recommendation for Teleservicios Calvario in San Juan Cosala. I have had exactly the same thing happen twice to one of my TVs. They repaired it quickly and inexpensively both times.

Recommendation for a small appliance repair shop
Curmudgeon replied to mexbound's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
The best place I have found is the small shop on Colon, ½ block north of the carretera, east side. -
I love it because my Shaw is in Calgary, and my guide is correct for at least a few weeks in the year...

As of now, I have CBC and CTV news channels (255 and 256) no problem, but my neighbor says there are gone for her. Who knows?

I need to file a FBAR and need assistance
Curmudgeon replied to Fred Habacht's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I just did it for the first time. Fill out the form on line and submit it. Just search "FinCEN Form 114" -
I noticed today there is a drive through testing site next to the Ajijic Clinic.
