Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Open up a terminal (or DOS) window and ping the site. For example, just type

ping yahoo.com

The results will include the IP address.

Click Start then Run. Type in cmd and then click Okay. You'll get the command line. Then type ping www.sitename.com.

So, does anyone else have a TiVo (of the DVD-burning kind) and the ability to get fancy digital TV or whatever? What do I need??

well, your TV should have at least two RF inputs (most have at least three now). It's not that hard to set up. I mean, if I can do it . . .
