Well, now that I have my box and proper antenna (I HAVE 3 PBS CHANNELS!) , I don't care when. But yeah, kind of a mess.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I have a box, but no TV right now. But, my sister has satellite so I'm good for now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have the box hooked up, but I can't record anything so I haven't been using it. Now I watch DVDs on the TV and TV on the computer.

I have a Mac question for anyone who can field it.

I have a late model MacBook Pro running the most recent version of Leopard. I am running into trouble with any website that has Java or Javascript. I keep getting an error message telling me that Java is not installed or enabled.

I reinstalled Safari, reverified the disk and permissions and made sure Java was enabled in the Preferences. I still get the message.

The Apple support discussions are giving me no love.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can sometimes but Firefox is acting buggy too. Internet Explorer is useless. This is an issue with the website where I order my meds and my new bank's site. It is very annoying!

quester, I'm not a fulltime Mac user, but a quick google suggests that reinstalling Java might fix your issue and doing that on a Mac entails doing Software Updates. [link]

O, that's for older versions. I have done all of the usual updates and still have the problem.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

hmm.

do you have extensions on safari or firefox that may be interfering?

like maybe you need to shut off an extension or something?
