    DirecTV Website

    Looks like the DirecTV website is off line right now while they are "... making improvements to maximize your online experience." Guess that means the prices are going up.

    This site has a lot of technically competent members, so I'm wondering if the choice of OS is different than it is for the general public. Feel free to comment on why you use the one you do.

    Forum Option

    Is there a way to mark all threads in a forum read so that you don't actually have to open each one? This would make it easier for some of us to keep track of the threads we're interested in. Thanks.
