    Poor Audio on a Couple of Channels

    Does anyone else notice poor almost "tinny" audio on certain channels. Everything else with Verizon has been stellar, but this audio bug is driving me crazy. The best way to describe it is mono, compaired to a strong sounding stereo. I only notice it on FX, Discovery, and Comedy Central, so...

    The Wait is over for Pasco County!

    I'm up in Wesley Chapel. Right on the border of Pasco and Hillsborough, over by Bruce B. Downs. Now that it has passed the county, I only have to wait about 2 months until they'll come out and install it. :D

    DVR question about watching 2 shows

    At this time Verizon STBs are only made to work on one TV. However in the future, Verizon is working on software that will allow you to stream programs recorded on your DVR to a remote STB somewhere else in your house. Last time I heard they were looking for an end of summer rollout. This system...

    Comcast Ups Cable Speed to 16Mbit

    I'll second that. At peak times, 8pm - 11pm, I have never noticed a slow down.

    Another FiOS TV Review

    A small fiber connection is ran directly to your home from a neighborhood terminal. The fiber enters a box which Verizon calls the ONT. The light reader in this ONT interperts the signal and then basically outputs 3 separate services, telephone, internet, and tv. From the ONT these services are...

    MAC OS X FIOS users?

    It's called the Apple Broadband Tuner (my bad) http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/broadbandtuner10.html Another way that I have found to boost the internet speed is to use FireFox with the Faster Fox extension installed. This is basically my setup (with the above tuner installed) and it...

    MAC OS X FIOS users?

    I haven't really checked the bandwidth on my Mac (although I should), but it seems just as fast as my XP machine that is sitting right next to it. I good download is the Apple Broadband Booster or something like that. It is a small program released by Apple specifically meant to optimize...

    Lifetime Ala Carte?

    If you aren't doing a national advertising campaign (i.e. don't want to spend that much money because you know you are on the wrong side of a losing situation) the next best thing is to target specific markets. Orlando is one of the best markets because for relatively cheap airtime (compared to...

    Lifetime Ala Carte?

    Lets try and remember not to blame Disney in this game. Yes, while they are part owners of the channel with Hearst, they are not the ones in the middle of this debacle. Lifetime, like A&E and E! handle their own negotiations separate from Disney's negotiations. The negotiations Disney...
