Flea, cable and satellite companies are required to offer local broadcast channels.
My television watching is still more analog than digital, and I've been pondering my cable bill as part of a general belt tightening. It looks like I can get most of my non-broadcast shows online from the source or Hulu, except for one or two that I'd have to pay to download. I prefer watching television in my den on my television, but it looks like a Tivo on my wireless network could play those shows on my television. Is that right? Is there some other way? This whole thing makes me feel kind of stupid.
I could get minimal cable for $19 a month rather than the $53 I'm paying now for digital basic. I'd probably have to get an external antenna to cut cable entirely, because some channels are pretty fuzzy on rabbit ears. (I recognize that this is all a first-world problem. With my budget, I should really just watch fuzzy TV and like it.)
While I'm asking ignorant television questions, if I got a second monitor, something I'm thinking about anyway for work, could I watch internet television on one monitor and work on another?
Ginger, we got an AppleTV and watch stuff we downloaded from iTunes on our TV. Very cool. I think Cashmere has one too.
I have an Apple TV too. Cool box, but I don't know that I had an Apple TV-shaped hole in my life to fill.
wow, um. That is spooky. In the wrong hands. um. how does one disconnect from that without totally leaving civilization?
Of course, the lawyer in me is wondering if they will have trouble from JKR's lawyers for the use of the word.
its an homage! She should be flattered... to the tune of 1% of all sales.
Hard drive update: I can see files with Easy Recovery Professional on the PC.
Now I need a 200GB+ HDD to rescue them onto, if they can be rescued.
Help. Well, not urgent, but could save me some drama. I copied a photo from the net, but can't remember the filename, because I didn't rename it. Somehow I can't find it. I know (or think) that there's a cache of photos somewhere on the harddrive, and I'm hoping that it will be in there, but I cannot find said cache. I'm wondering if it's because I clear private data whenever I exit (work computer). Thoughts? Suggestions where to look?
