Heh, no. But they are near the front porch, so it sounded like there were politicians on my front porch. I was late for bed and my head was fuzzy.

Strange thing. I never turn off my A/V receiver since no sound is output when the Voom box is in standby. Early in the morning, I thought I heard voices, so I went to see who was talking on my front porch. I saw that the Voom box was powered up. I powered up my monitor and got a picture. I...

Comcast charges you $15 more for broadband internet (BI) if you are not a cable television subscriber. My father-in-law made the switch to Comcast BI but was happy with E* and didn't want to subscribe to Comcast cable television. He actually found a loophole. The price for Comcast's most...

... so far, that's not such a good thing. My Voom box included a DVI cable but not a component cable. The installer said my existing [omnidirectional] antenna was better than the ones [Stealth and Wineguard] he had. He recommended I get an amplifier. Based on what I've read here, it was my...

Would the Fox Sports locals be considered apart from the Fox Sports regionals? With Comcast, I have Fox Sports Detroit and the FS regionals (Atlantic, Central, and Pacific). I rarely watch the regionals but I catch the Red Wings and Tigers on FSDetroit. I'd like to see the local FSNs added...
