By Dorothea Shefer-VansonMEVASSERET ZION, Israel — After wrestling for several years with the less-than-ideal delivery of TV services by one of the two main providers in Israel, we decided to take the fateful step (once again) of changing over to its principal rival. This was not a simple procedure, as the delivery of TV services is now intricately bound up with the provision of internet via WiFi as well as telephone services. Then came the procession of technicians – each one an expert in his field, whether it be internet, telephone, television or electricity. Eventually the last technician left the house, abandoning us to our newly-installed TV services and our struggle to locate the programs we used to enjoy as we learned the secrets of navigation. *Dorothea Shefer-Vanson is an author and freelance writer based in the Jerusalem suburb of Mevasseret Zion, Israel.
