Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have direct tv.. I saw this one channel they were talking about it.. Sounds good to me.. What got me is you can turn your tv into a computer!!! I think it was channel 200 some thing ..We resently got broad band.. Reese got his computer for Christmas.. Ask if they have that!!! You know wireless..BooLlinda <2llama@...> wrote: This is obviously off topic, but does anyone use satellite for internet? I would love to hear experiences, +/- and all that stuff.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hey Boo, we don't have direct TV.. do the Netflix instead, no commercials. That is DSL you get from them as I understand. Wireless is different than satellite but would do nicely if some company would decide this is not the moon up here... grrr I am looking for info from people who use the satellite. I have heard there can be problems with it and haven't had enough time to check it out closely with my 26.4 powerful modem lol. Llinda I have direct tv..

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I had a friend that tried it when she couldn’t get DSL. She wasn’t crazy about it, but it was better than the alternative – dial up.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks De... I am in the same situation as your friend. Now just a matter of trying to pick a reliable company that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Guess I had better pay off my credit card before making changes.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hey again Boo... been gone hauling critters and doing the domestic thing. Yup I have a phone up here, but what is sbc?? The dish network is what people around here get and they offer dsl... must differ from area to area. things here are going. Feels like I have been half sick for months. My brain is fuzzy with rare moments of clarity. Ok, maybe not quite that bad, but almost lol. Very tired all the time, too. Am just past 3 months off tx and know I will improve. But, I want it all and I want it now! snivel, sob lol Am feeding one baby Tiel now and will pull 3 more this time next week. cute fuzzy little things. Much easier than kids, by far! Not to mention I can lock them up when not feeding or playing with them . Youngest stud (llama) has discovered the joys of jumping fences. No real harm, just gets the girls excited then goes for the hay bales. (Boy is there room for a joke there, lol) So how are you holding up with all those kids? is going to finish emails then kick back. GNight! !!! Do you have a phone up there in heaven?? Do they do the sbc thing?? ask.. And also try ebay!!! Boo ps direct tv is satalite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I have a bell express vu but it will cost me about an additional 70 dollars to get it per month on top of the amount I pay for my tv service.Needless to say I can't afford that much.I have got 56K computer but can only get 28.8K cause I live out in the country.Hope it is cheaper where you are.
