Be assured there is something for everyone, with no commercials. I think I'll turn off this computer and go watch something interesting. Neal Hammon See, that's what Netflix is for. I can watch what I want to watch WHEN I want to watch it. That's why I didn't watch much tv in the first

You folks who do not watch TV miss a lot. Out in the country we have satellite TV, and get about 469 channels, but I only watch a few. Mostly, I watch Turner Classic Movies, which is one hell of a nice station. At different times it shows all the great old flicks, such as Beau Geste,

PBS is worth watching, and I have missed it while moving. I love Tivo and it has gotten me to watch more than I did before I got it; but only what I ask for--I never watch live, hence no commercials. Suzanne Blake ___ MacGroup mailing list

This is the 15 inch Sharp I found following Rex' recommendation.There are some specifications I don't know about . It says here : analog. Now, the Dish channel (German Channel) requires a superdish being digital. Will the box that comes with this Dish Network take care of that so It can

I looked up the 17 inch Dell. I like what I see, except for the wide screen. I still don't understand this wide screen that makes people's heads turn boxy, and the whole figures look to me like gnomes, short and wide. Is there a reason for this wide display?

Why is EyeTV (or any other TV tuner card) better than a Tivo? The new Tivo's I drooled over at Sam's Club a couple of weeks ago have a DVD burner built in, and would allow me to watch on my bigger TV instead of my smaller computer screen. What's the advantage of tying your TV viewing to your

Alex, I don't know that there is ANY advantage of having T.V. on your computer other than connivence or necessity for those that don't have the room for a T.V., or the geek factor of showing folks T.V. along side your other programs. With EyeTV you can opt to have the show made into a
