Voting Question: How can I get High speed internet access?

Hello I live in a rural region, though its not THAT rural. I want Broadband internet.I currently have dial-up with at&t. I pay 30 bucks for an Additional phone line and 20 bucks for dial up. Options that are eliminated: DSL-A road less than 150 yards has it but I cannot and probably never will. Cable- Cable does not run up this road at all. Satellite always on the internet and I like to play online games cant deal with a daily FAP CAP.Cant afford it anyway.plus commitments. Data connect-Terms of use would eliminate the best things about the internet on a PC. 60 bucks a month if you want tethering.No 3G here. I did some scouting with my laptop and I've come down to trying to access the peoples open wireless internet that live less than 1/2 a mile from me.I've built a cantenna, purchased one of the most powerful network adapters you can get (500mw) and tried to mount it to a dish but there are too many trees.Im going to try a bi-quad feed into the dish next, then a 24dbi gird parabolic and if that dosent work im going to go insane. There was one I picked up close by with just the cantenna but it was secured with WEP. I'm so desperate, im thinking of just cracking it. All i want is the crappiest DSL and i would be happy....sheesh. Any tips, or suggestions would please??Nah they wont run the line a meer 300ft so that i can get it. 2 junctions, one 300ft away, the other, less than 1/8 of a mile from me have a DSL line.I've been calling every once in a while for about 2 years now.On at&t's website they wont even let you send in the form to let me know when i can get it.There is no send button once you fill out the info. I'll never get it because they'd rather you get wildblue.ITs criminal.I have to pay a outrageous installation fee, sign a contract, and pay 60 bucks a month for something better and cheaper that practically my neighbors are getting. more

Resolved Question: Playstation Network Question?

Alright, now I realize that Playstation Network is all broadband/highspeed internet access, right? O.o Anyways, from what everyone says, it's all DSL and Cable and whatever is higher than that, correct? Well, I have Satellite internet through Dish Network. It's high speed, probably a bit faster than Cable, really...but the point is, I can't play Socom online with it because it has a slight, maybe one-two second delay. Will the Playstation Network let me connect with a connection like this? Or am I doomed to a lack of online play for the next...eh, 14-15 months while the contract wears off?I have a monthly limit of 13 gigs, so it's not -that- bad...but uhh... I realize what you guys are saying, though I'd kind of like to see if anyone will give me a straight out answer. ^__^ Thanks.Well, I mean...monthly download limit of 13 gigs...and I think upload of...6-9 gigs?

Resolved Question: Would I be better off with a Tivo or with a Dish Network DVR?

I'm thinking about getting my husband a DVR for Christmas but I don't know what kind to get. We currently have a package deal that includes broadband services and dish network. I'm wondering whether we would be better off with one of Dish Network's DVRs or a Tivo. We would probably use it mostly for recording and watching back shows but it might be nice if we could somehow connect it with our laptop DVD burner at times. Any opinions from those of you who have had either or both of these? Is Tivo really worth the extra cost? more

I would prefer not to, I have a cell and prefer to use it... Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Is broadband internet offered with Direct Tv or Dish network?

I currently have high speed internet as part of a package with cable TV but the internet speed is affected by how many people are surfing at the same time, which is usually the same time I surf.

Resolved Question: baseball sold out its fans?

TV Sports Extra Innings Throws a Curve, and Fans Cry Foul Sign In to E-Mail or Save This Print Reprints Share DiggFacebookNewsvinePermalink By RICHARD SANDOMIR Published: January 26, 2007 Jeanette Bottone cried last week when she heard that the Extra Innings package of major league baseball games that she has diligently watched on cable since 2002 was about to migrate to DirecTV in April. Skip to next paragraph M.L.B. Schedule/Scores Standings: A.L. | N.L. Wild Card Standings Stats: A.L. | N.L. Team Reports Yankees Schedule/Results Individual Stats | Team Roster | History Discuss the Yankees Mets Schedule/Results Individual Stats | Team Roster | History Discuss the Mets “It’s really a big part of our summertime,” she said by telephone from her condominium in Wellesley, Mass. “But that didn’t last long. And then I felt angry.” Bottone and her husband bought Extra Innings to keep track of the Yankees. Her father, Lou, was a minor leaguer in the Yankee system in the 1930s. “But it’s exciting to watch the other teams if the games are important, and because there are certain players I like,” she said, adding, “I’m sad, but it won’t really hit me until those channels won’t have the games.” Bottone is part of the resentment expressed on fan forums, blogs and inside my e-mail inbox against a pending seven-year, $700 million deal that would shift Extra Innings this season into an exclusive arrangement with DirecTV after five seasons of being available to 75 million cable, DirecTV and Dish homes. A writer on the Cards Fan Union blog said, “I feel as though I’ve just had my teeth worked on with a drill that entered my body through my big toe.” On the umpbump.com fan site, a screed against the deal was titled, “MLB Only Needs 700 Million Reasons to Tell You to Drop Dead.” The deal would also make DirecTV the exclusive home of the 24/7 baseball channel that will launch in 2009 — but that is not the concern of the devotees who will be disenfranchised by cable’s and Dish’s loss of Extra Innings if the agreement is completed. It will be difficult for them to see much besides Major League Baseball getting $30 million more a year than what InDemand, the consortium that distributed Extra Innings to cable systems, bid to renew it. This is a case of taking something that a part of the fan base has grown accustomed to and selling it to a higher bidder, which is available to 15 million subscribers, less than one-fifth the cable universe. And it raises these simple questions: Why anger any part of your fan base? Why marginalize any part of your fan base? “It’s shocking to me because it’s a move to have less of an audience and less coverage nationally,” said Dan Quinn, a graduate student from Newton, Mass., who roots for the Yankees. Without Extra Innings, he added, “I’ll be stuck watching the Red Sox.” It will not assuage those fans with cable or Dish, who should expect to see their Extra Innings ties broken, that they will still be able to watch hundreds of games a year on local stations, regional sports networks, Fox, ESPN and TBS. They have been treated to a somewhat privileged view of baseball from 10 Extra Innings channels — and now that will be taken away. This situation is different from that of Sunday Ticket, the package of CBS’s and Fox’s Sunday afternoon, out-of-market N.F.L. games that are available only on DirecTV, which pays $700 million annually for it. Cable subscribers never had it, and while they may covet it, they can’t complain that they once had it but that it was sold to DirecTV, because DirecTV has always had it. There will be only two options for discarded Extra Innings fans. They can switch from cable to DirecTV, which is impossible if landlords or condominium boards prohibit dishes, or if their exposure is wrong to snare the signal. Baseball is counting on fans who lack any building or geographic hindrances to change to DirecTV. It may be right, even if it has to wait for the anger of fans to dissipate. But Mark Requet, the co-owner of a weekly newspaper in rural Shelbina, Mo., said he would not switch from Dish to DirecTV, even if it means curtailing his ability to watch Mets games, his sole reason for buying Extra Innings for the first time last year. “I’m pretty satisfied with Dish and I’ve heard other people say they have trouble with DirecTV in bad weather,” he said. The second option is subscribing to a seasonlong package of mlb.tv, the video streaming arm of mlb.com, for $79.95, nearly $100 less than last year’s suggested retail price for Extra Innings for cable subscribers. It requires a broadband connection, which is increasingly common; there are 57 million subscribers, through cable and telephone connections, according to the Telecommunications Industry Association, a trade group. Bottone said that mlb.tv is her backup, but she must go to her husband’s office a town away to watch. “But it doesn’t work that well,” she said. Even with planned upgrades to mlb.tv’s video quality, watching a game on a computer screen is a different experience than taking it in on a TV screen, which allows viewers to be more than three feet away. Yes, newer televisions allow for a relatively easy connection from the computer, but the quality of the picture degrades in the transfer. And streaming can be bedeviled by breakdowns and choppy pictures. Baseball isn’t talking for now. How it eventually explains the deal — and tries to temper fan discontent — will be fascinating.

Resolved Question: The TV to PC offer of 3,000 +Stations for $50.00 scares me: Is it too good to be true or not?

I love all the variety of TV and have become a surfer on satellite, but neither Dish nor Disk Networks know anything about this great reading offer. I can't afford to throw away $50.00. So please let me know if it is for real or not. I've heard that MS has web TV built in and that if you stay with current systems and don't upgrade maybe it's ok? But MS doesn't answer my inquiry about Vista having web T.V. Is the broadband of the web capable of carrying so much computing power as all that vidio, audio plus everybody['s chat and photo share. I read from Apple that Mpeg 1 was the basis of all mp3s and made possible vidio Disk players. in 1994 the release of Mpeg 2 made possible CD-R/W and is the bais for all HDTV and DVDs today. The next gen. is a long way away, but they are working on it. So how can even Mpeg-2 carry so much t.v? A lot of people are likely to get hurt badly if it ain't for real, for real!
