'Out Of Gas'
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!
So Time Warner is raising their rates about 20% this month, and I'm thinking about dropping cable TV altogether, and relying on the Internets for my video entertainment.
I also want to avoid aheming where possible, and rely on Hulu and iTunes where possible. I'm working through the economics and see if it's worth the hassle.
Does anyone here subscribe to MLB.tv? The site is not very up front about how much it costs. Are you happy with the price and the picture quality?
You might check with DX. I'm fairly sure he subscribes to something baseball-related, though it might be radio.
Tom, if you get a Roku box, MLB is one channel you can subscribe to.
What's a good program for running multiple IM accounts on a PC? I'm trying to set up my new netbook to be travel-ready.

A warning. I tried a trial period of MLB through my Roku and was completely disgusted with the blackout rules. It was terrible. Between Fox owning ALL day Saturday and the various other technicalities of blackouts, I watched maybe 2 Phillies games in the SF market (I got the trial because I wanted to watch the Phillies with my boyfriend) during the 6 weeks or so I had the trial.
oh dang. thanks for that info.
Whoops, wrong thread.
Does anyone here subscribe to MLB.tv?I had it for one season, when it came free with my DSL service. It was pretty good. Granted, this was 3 or 4 years ago. The one thing I really liked, after working long day, I could watch pitch by pitch game, so it was just each pitch, none of the scratch/spit BS between pitches. Reduced the game to about an 80-90 minutes (For a Yankee game, that's fast). They also had a (forget name) action only game, so only the pitches when something happened (hit, out, strike out, steal, failed attempt steal, etc). That dropped the game down to about 45 minutes. Not for every game, and not live, but nice when working crazy hours and want to see what happened.
If you are ok with watching a game AFTER it's done, I think that bypasses the blackout rules. Not sure how long it takes before you can watch it. Last season I did the season pass on cable. Too many blackouts, and Time Warner didn't offer HD games. Now that I'm with U-verse, not sure.
I have a specific document that refuses to print from Word. Does that make any sense? Excerpts pasted into new documents print correctly. I tried copying the full text, minus the last paragraph mark, and putting it in a new document, but no luck.
It claims to be printing. Nothing backs up in the print queue. No error messages. Just no printing.
I bet the document is corrupted.
My suggestion: save the document with a different name. Re-open and try again.
