Have you rescanned all channels since the digital transition?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Can't get enough reception to scan - the converter box won't recognize any kind of signal.
I admit, the problem may be that I'm in an old apartment building with thick walls.

Ha! Love this line:
"Of course you don't have to actually wire all the outlets on the whole wall for electricity, but you'd better come up with a good way to remember which ones are live."
Toddson, try AntennaWeb to determine which direction you need to point the antenna, and if you need an indoor/outdoor one: [link]

Oooh! For DTV, this gov site has a google map that you plop your addy in, then it lists the stations you should be able to get, you click on them, and then the map shows what direction they are from your house, so you know which way to aim the antenna! Very cool: [link]

If DH's aunt who is pissed off about the transition knew how to use email, I would forward her that link!
(Because of the switchover delay and the subsequent wonkiness of where digital & analog signals were broadcasting, she lost her PBS reception in the bedroom for several weeks. Was not happy. She has since regained PBS but lost ABC.)

Favorite windows multi-chat thing? I use Adium on my mac, but have no idea what to use on a windows machine, since I never install anything on work computers (don't chat on them, use the AIM for web if I'm traveling with it). BUT I just got a netbook (wheee!) for traveling with (whee!) and whole point is that I can go to things and do things I wouldn't on the work 'puter (wheee!) so...suggestions?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Trillium is a good Windows chat device supporting multiple clients; alternatively there is meebo.com, which does the same from an internet platform.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Finally finished updating my iPod Touch to 3.0. What a chore. I'm regretting spending the $9.95. Multiple restores, multiple reboots, multiple syncs, over four hours to get it to work.

Cool.
(this post was really about trying copy/paste with 3.0 on my old iPhone)
