Re: watching tv on my computer?

2013-06-29 Thread Gary King

Juan,
The suggestions to use Windows Media Center with a TV tuner seem reasonable 
until you do some research on this solution.  Put DirecTV and Windows Media 
Center in a Google search and read through the results.  You will quickly 
see how sighted folks have struggled with various combinations of hardware 
and software to make this work.  The accessibility of some of this software 
may also be a problem.  I have DirecTV, but I don't consider trying to make 
it work with Media Center worth the effort.

internet tv

2013-06-29 Thread Buntemeyer, Loren J.
I would like to receive TV programming strictly through my PC internet and 
connect directly from my router to my internet capable TV. Where can I learn 
about this? Or, even a tutorial. I no longer want Direct or Dish or other 
providers.

Format Factory 3.1.0

2013-06-29 Thread Dean Masters
Has anyone tried this newest version of Format Factory? Using the latest 
version of JAWS when I click on an item in the left toolbar a menu does not 
come up as in previous versions. Do they come up on your PC?


Thanks,
Dean

Yeah, my main problem seemed to be Comcast pretending they didn't know
anything about how to do this. But this OT. I just wanted to expand on what
you were saying a bit. I do still want and intend to do it though.

oPlayer Light App for iPhone

2013-06-29 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

Been a while since I've played with oPlayer so thought I'd give it a look.

I use oPlayer HD on my iPad so went to get a version for the iPhone, couldn't 
find an oPlayer HD or oPlayer Pro for the iPhone so will have to make do with 
oPlayer Light which is free, perhaps people in other countries might be able to 
purchase the oPlayer Professional or HD app.

the oPlayer app is the best media player app I've used for IOS, - I tried VLC 
but couldn't make any sense of it -.

In short oPlayer will play just about any media file type on the planet 
including all those high quality audio file types such as FLAC, these sound 
better than say MP3 or iTunes M4A because FLAC files - whilst slightly 
compressed - are Lossless, meaning that none of the quality in the recording 
is lost during encoding of the file - in other words if you hear a track from a 
CD encoded with FLAC then what you hear is exactly what you'd hear if you 
played the same track from the CD -.

So back to the point of this eMail which is the oPlayer app, the app allows you 
to transfer files for playing in different ways, you can use your IOS device as 
a FTP client, Windows Sambre client and so on, the Professional version offers 
even more ways to transfer content including from your Dropbox account if you 
have 1.
