We got local channels when we had DTV. Weather was a huuuuuuuuge issue- specially here in TX.
TWC gives me BBCA and Animal Planet. Huh.
Does anyone get Trio?

No, alas, I think Trio is dead.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think I had DirecTV in Chicago some years ago. Seemed like the picture went out any time we had weather and sometimes when we didn't (mostly in the middle of Cubs games.) Luckily in LA weather rarely happens.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My folks have had Dish and DirectTV and Comcast in the last few years, and have had the least trouble and the best customer service from DirectTV. Dish was the worst, always going out with the least provocation and terrible service. Comcast was reliable but kept taking away channels they watched and raising rates.
I would have gotten DirectTV just for the NFL Sunday Ticket when I moved into this place, but there's no place to put a dish, too many trees in the way.

Oddly enough, here in the tall Ponderosa pines, I get reception just fine. The installer shifted the dish back on the roof a few feet (which conveniently positioned it to where I can brush it off with a broom from the porch) and managed to point it through the (fifty foot) trees somehow and it's flawless.
eta: And yeah, NHL's Center Ice was a deciding factor for us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to say--I am a fan of the Aliph Jawbone headset. And I found it online for $40 less than the Best Buy price ($140) so I'm back on my original headset budget (the price of the Motorola).
The first headset I had, though, came with a belt-clip carrying case and a loop for a lanyard thingy. Not that I used either for the fully intended purpose, but it showed that the designers were thinking of portability. On the Motorola boom headsets protection has two reasons--preventing damage, and since they turn on when you flip the boom, battery life.
What I want to do is just toss my headset into my purse, but that's totally not working. Googling shows I'm not alone. Sad.

Email question: If I want to add an email account to my email application, what can I search for on said email account's home page to find the server name and all that good stuff? I'm trying to add my school account but the Bruin Online home page isn't making it very easy to find and I'm not sure what to look for.
