The bad thing about the checklist is its incomplete. For example, I ran the ms pc readiness test yesterday for Vista. I had 128 graphic but did not have a couple of features - Forgot what they were. I can run Vista, but not the aero graphics

Advisor told me to sit my system out by the road for garbage pickup Monday.
And then added insult to injury by saying I should sit with it.:disgust:

Signal round here's crp.:wave:

[nowshining]

if ur talking about those softwares-I wouldn't U don't really get local its mostly and I mean just about all of it is foreign... :)

[nowshining]

oh wait ur talking about webtv aren't u..

[dudeking]

Yeh, that online TV stuff.
Are any good?
I keep getting spam saying pay $50 and watch any TV channel.
It’s like the only piece of spam I am considering following up. lol

Can any one recommend any software?

[nowshining]

that spam tv online ad don't follow up, I did, and one promised a trial, wouldn't trial just said had to pay, however I never did accrue any spyware or any viruses and also the channels is basically foreign also u can try out www.winamp.com their shoutcast tv has some channels (usually packed full 99.99 percent of the time) but if u can thru u can watch episode after episode of futurama and family guy... :)....
However if u search the net u can literally watch those foreign tv shows FREE, u'd just have to find a free software player and I forgot one website that was free within intself and offers a tria of its software l..(i really liked it tho a bunch of urls were broken)

I can prob. search up the site if u'd like..and no I don't think this player even cost 15 bucks at all...

[nowshining]

check list below for some good ones: ( i will be adding until I find the one I really liked)

http://www.movieflix.com/ - good and some shows are free.. :) but u have to sign up for a free account...I AM...

television.aol.com/in2tv - never really utilized it when I had aol plus I have dialup sooo...if u'd take a chance on aol, u can take a look here...


http://www.channelchooser.com/ -looks promising found this on digg.com (search came up with google and had this-i might try with dialup :) )


oh okay for the moment has arrived http://www.vtuner.com/ the best bang for ur buck in my opinion even tho it features mostly the same as any other foreign tv program player plus its about 20 bucks cheaper and only a one time fee, however It does offer a trial oh and also Last time i had it it showed a couple new cams from people in other states.. :) I am going to re-download it, plus I do think there is a FREE limited version when done (altho I think I prob. was daydreaming.. ;) )

I might just buy a digital tunercard, so I can watch anything.

[nowshining]
