  5. Voting Question: How can I get internet with no cable and no phone sevice? - I am in a rural area that doesn't offer cable or phone service. I have 3 kids ranging from 7-15 years and they are going crazy not having something to do. I at least want internet to watch TV and whatever. Please no satellite providers. They want too much for a security deposit. Please help!!!!
  6. Resolved Question: Are Satellite/Tivo/Apple Tv download speeds dependent on home network? - I currently have DishTV with VIP722 DVR. I noticed that movie rental download speed is similar to the old dialup speeds. Painfully slow to the point, the movie never gets downloaded. I can only assume it's because I have Basic DSL from ATT. Let me emphasize that this only happens when using DishTv's movie rental from their "Broadband" menu option. It only works if you connect the receiver to your home network. Here's my specific question: Is DishTV, Tivo, Apple TV and others who offer optional internet movie access, fully dependent on a users ISP home network? If so, does this mean I'd have to order the ISP's (whether DSL or Cable Broadband) fastest download pkg in order take advantage of these optional services? I'd like to take advantage of the upcoming GoogleTV or would consider even switching to cable in order to use Tivo Premium, but what's the point if your forced to pay more $ for a higher tier of internet speed. Thanks! Thanks so much to all of you who responded and provided valuable input. ATT provides a max of "up to" 6Mbps with their high tier DSL Vs Cable, which offers "up to" 15Mbps. Since I live quite a distance from the Telco CO, I think I'll switch from DSL to Cable broadband and see how that works. I'll be replacing my 7 yr old Dell with a new PC. Thanks again, all!!
  7. Resolved Question: Is there anyway I can get cable on a TV without having a box for it? - Okay, so I'm moving and the apartment complex doesn't allow satellites and Fios isn't there so I'm stuck getting Comcast. And since it's really really expensive, I'm only getting one cable box. What I'm wondering is, if there's anyway that I can get cable on another TV without having a box for it. I understand if it's totally not possible, but I figured I'd ask.

  12. Resolved Question: why is cable and satellite tv sold in "packages" instead of on an individual channel basis? - I should not have to upgade to a bigger package to get one channel......I would give up QVC, HSN, the Lifetime network, the weather channel and a few others I NEVER watch to get the fox soccer channel.....why are there no companies who charge by the channel and not byu packages?!?!?!
  13. Resolved Question: Can anyone tell me if this tv tuner is good or if there is a better model? - I am trying to see if a tv tuner is worth buying. I know some laptops come with the tv tuner built in, but my model does not. I have a Lenovo idea pad with a windows vista 32-bit operating system. I found this model on walmart...Diamond MultimediaTV Wonder 750 USB TV Tuner. It seemed to have relatively good reviews on the site, but I am not quite sure how a tv tuner works. It appears that you would plug the USB into your laptop and then twist the cable on that. From that point, I do not know if it automatically turns the laptop to a tv or if you have to open a program. Also, I am a college student so I would be watching it in my dorm room. I do not know if there is a subscription to this or if it just connects to whatever cable or satellite that you have. Anyway, I would like a tv tuner because I already have a laptop and tvs are too expensive. Also, I could plug headphones into my laptop which would allow my roommate to watch her tv programs while I watch mine.
  14. Resolved Question: any way to stream hulu onto your tv? - I am looking into dropping satellite/cable and I wanted to find out if there is a way to stream hulu content onto the TV. I have a wii and will probably get a blu ray dvd player as well. what are the options to stream hulu content onto the tv? Thanks! we're going to do netflix but netflix does not have current tv shows as far as i know. They wouldnt have, say, last nights episode of "top chef" I understand I can use a HDMI cable to connect my computer to the tv and stream shows that way as well. i was just wondering if there is an "app" or something for the wii or blu ray dvd that lets you do it easier.

  17. Resolved Question: What would happen if I started a TV Network called W.E.T. (WHITE Entertainment Television)? - would that be ok? Would it be allowed on the list of tv channels for cable and satellite and all the types of tv things you could watch from? I mean, the Hispanics get to have Univision The Blacks get B.E.T The Asians get LA18 The Jews get the Jewish Channel ect.................. Why cant the white race get our own tv channel? How is this fair? We cant even have our own month either! Why are white people getting discriminated like this?
  18. Resolved Question: Can a satellite receiver cause a circuit to overload? - Ever since I got dish network. the receiver was plugged in the same outlet as my television. I have a duo receiver, so my 2nd t.v upstairs is hooked up to the receiver by a cable cord. The very next day after I got the receiver, my power went out for about 3 seconds. Everything else came back on, but my t.vs =( .Miraculously the receiver is still working. My televisions are completely dead, ive tried to move them to different outlets, no luck.

  3. Resolved Question: How much Horsepower will my car give off? - I'm not all into American cars. I have one. It's a Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I'm not really into my car. I'm more into Japanese made cars. I'm trying to save up to get my dream car, Nissan 280zx Turbo. One of the rarest Nissans. Ok anyway at work in the parking lot, I was messing around with my buddy, I hit my e-brake to whip it to do a 180 but I wasn't going any faster than 15-20 mph and of course if anyone knows how to do (its easy. I've done it a million times) of course you know going only at a slower speed and hitting the e-brake won't make your car go around. This asshole came to me saying that was the worst. I'm like dude I wasn't going any faster and I wasn't even trying. He tried doing it and he didn't even know how to do it. I was ready to freaking knock his lights out because he kept running his mouth. This douche has a Mitsubishi Lancer. Not the the Evo, just the regualr 4 door Lancer. When he red lined it I laughed because his dumbass thinks its fast. I'm like dude it was freakin quiet. He's a freakin redneck douche bag thinkin every truck in the world could out run any Japanese car. Now I'm trying to get into cars because my buddy has a 1985 Celica Supra that is very clean and rides and drives like its brand new. He's teaching me about stuff. Ok 2 questions maybe 3. Now I know most Evo's comes with a turbo stock because my buddy's friend used to have one. Do all Evo's come with a turbo stocked? Second question, I know my car isn't fast I'll admit it because I hate it lol but I do like to mess around and have fun but if there's a douche bag messing with me I wouldn't bother, well, because he's a douche lol. Ok my question is, how much horsepower does my Pontiac give off? How much would a non Evo Lancer horsepower give off? Just curious Idk about the Lancer but mine has the 3800 series oh and i know 4 cylinder cars can wax V-8s which is AWESOME lol. i was just wondering sorry I would choose best answer but all of your guys answers are good. yea i have a v-6 which sucks ass lol. I hate it. Me and my buddy with his celica supra raced one day just to see who's faster. weird thing was that i beat him. he has 161hp in his car thats why i was wondering about mine. Thanks all!! Oh yea and Frank Austin, shut the f-u-c-k up you stupid ass redneck. I know a thousand cars that can whoop are ass with your stupid fuckin truck. I bet you mine could beat yours. I HATE REDNECKS why the hell would I live where you live. If I did I'd take my new Japanese car and freakin WAX you in a race. PISS OFF!
