Re: [MacGroup] U-verse in Louisville

If DSL availability is any indicator, my neighborhood won't have it till probably 2012 or so. But I have been thinking about it since last november when a tech from Best Buy told me about it. On Aug 30, 2009, at 7:32 AM, Ed Wiser wrote: AT&T U-verse Arrives in Louisville Finally Insight ha

Re: [MacGroup] U-verse in Louisville

The only issue I have is Tivo. We watch Tivo not TV so. Using a cable DVR is not the same. As I use Toast to automatically download and encode shows that I watch at Lunch at work and that is not possible with a straight DVR. You can use a series 2 Tivo like I have on their system but it is tri

Re: [MacGroup] U-verse in Louisville

ED, tell me, you are good at that: a) how can we eliminate the box on top of our TV b) all I want to watch are the local channels rarely , the weather, KET and my husband Sports. I have no TIVo, I never asked for anything on Demand, I am not a movie watcher, most of what I want I get on my

Re: [MacGroup] U-verse in Louisville

Marta, If you don't want the box, and your not interested in anything but basic, you can always have Insight remove verything but basic and return the box, so you'll just get basic, and the cable will just connect to the TV(no box). But if you signed a contract for all the things you have now, I've

Jonathan, I called Insight on that and asked them what competition was in the works? The poor girl had no idea, but then I inquired further and a got a girl to promised me cheaper rates via promotion after the first of Sept. She even gave me her name! I shall hold her to it. And John, I

Re: [MacGroup] U-verse in Louisville

I wish the AT&T guy would tell me it is available in rural Shellby County. Maybe I better sell the farm and move into town. My only choice under sixty-plus bucks per mo. is my old, slow dial up, and would you believe that on a good day I might download at 3kb. Last week even my AT&T phon

Re: [MacGroup] U-verse in Louisville

Maybe on bundled services, but the broadband is $15 higher per month than the comparable Insight plan. Plus, did you see the crap they posted on the broadband comparisons? According to AT&T you need the 12Mbps service to use email and send photos. You need the 18Mbps (top of line) to view streamin

Oh yes, it was AT&T, a man from AT&T had canvassed the area before and told me they were considering new services for all Louisville. I tried to find a Louisville office, but could not. Then this truck arrived, one person came to the door from AT&T to clear up the branches which were in the

Thanks so much Jonathan, I am running an Intel box, Quicken is the latest for the Mac (2007) so I guess you are saying it was written for PowerPC and all along Rosetta has been allowing it to work on the Intel. Intuit should have their head handed to them for not bringing the program up to

Jonathan: Before WW2, battleships became obsolete. In retrospect, the Japs did us a favor by sinking most of ours at Pearl Harbor. I served on three cruisers during WW2 and the Korean War; those skinny battle cruisers did not become obsolete until about 1960. I take it you do not want a
