Very fast bats leaving jet stream?

I'm reading one of his books right now, the last of the Jack Ryan series. I didn't discover him until a few years ago and have been fascinated by the detail and insight in his books. If you read one now and pay attention to the political aspects, especially the descriptions and scenarios you...

The answer to your question depends on your usage. Unless you need an ultra-high tier or have special needs, the answer is no. Docsis 2.0 is really all most of us need

Very sad to hear, but I guess she's had health problems for some time. Never heard a bad word said about her, in fact she was known to be a great person. I'm the same age, and she was the dream girl for us younger teens in the 50's. After school it was Annette and American Bandstand. Great...

If you're interested in a free router, check out SamKnows.com. They're doing a study on internet service (all legit) and they'll give you a free modem and even tech support with it. I've been participating for a few years. With Comcast I'm using their Netgear 3500 wireless N router and it's a...

Haven't had Comcast for a while, but just subscribed. I was just going to get their internet service, but when I went on line they had a package deal for 30Mbps internet and "Economy TV" for $45 a month. The same day NewEgg had a deal on the Hauppauge 2650 cable card tuner with 2 tuners. I...

One of ours is still going strong (in the summer), been there since the 50's (fitting for this town since a lot of it/us are still in the 50's). I took the kids there in the 70's and early 80's. Will be taking the grandkids there again this summer. Reason I love drive-ins is that I haven't...

I just signed up with Comcast for TV. Really didn't need or want the TV, but I was signing up for internet and they offered 30Mbps internet + their economy cable for $44.95 for 6 mos. What interested me was that NewEgg had a Hauppauge 2650 usb 2 tuner cable card tuner for $60 after rebate...

Last May, that's pretty much what the doctors told me. So, I was on that flat line at the time. Even though I won the battle, It changed my perspective and now I really don't worry about anything, just live each day to the fullest. So, you can get there in other ways.

For some of us it's already here.

Thanks for all the tips. I'll just have to be there and talk to support myself I guess. If it's a cable problem and it's someone else's property it might be a hassle.

We're in Southern Colorado so would the 103s and 99s be relevant? If not, then the fact that all the other signals are 95 or over (except for one I saw that was 82) would indicate there is no alignment problem with the dish, especially since one receiver is not having the problem. Guess I'll...

My daughter has an HR24 in the family room and an SD receiver in the living room, installed last August. She said about a month ago she started having trouble with the HR24 losing signal and resetting and some recorded shows were being cut short by 20 or more minutes. She called D* but got...

That makes sense. Just out of curiosity why did you change? The classic is a better deal than anything they offer now.

I'm on the same plan and if I remember right when I called to cancel the other day the rep said I could restart everything if I did it before I sent my DVR back which is within their 21 day window. Not the same but sounds like he meant same plan.
