Thanks.
Comcast is adding ISP in May and I just checked out Ovation and The Artful Detective will be on at 12mn tonight.
I’ll DVR the program.

We also have charter cable, but I remember when you could watch cable TV without needing a box as long as your TV was cable ready

Our local power utility has also fiber optic cable. We used to subscribe to it for about a couple of years, but they kept having problems so that we we went back to Charter again.

I hope you like it as much as we do. You have to watch the whole thing (and several episodes) to catch the humor and the subtlties.

Basically, he’s shy and he’s in love with the coroner, bt he’s always late in declaring his love and she goes off to do something else. He’s carrying a ring around in his pocket. She comes back, but I don’t know where it will end. My daughter won’t tell me, because she doesn’t want to spoil the story line.

A recurring pair of characters in the series seem to be a wealthy couple named “The Pendricks” who have a lot of influence around town. Murdoch thinks that James Pendrick is responsible for a murder for which they were never able to convict him. The Pendricks appear in about a quarter of the episodes I’ve seen.

Another feature of this series is that real historical characters appear from time to time as part of the story — Houdini, H.G. Wells, Tesla come to mind.

Actually, you can subscribe to on-line access to all NFL games

Where do you get that ? I want to disconnect DISH, but hubby likes his football even though we don't get much with DISH so having on-line access would be great.

Any help would be appreciated --- thanks

I’ve never had cable - use the digital converter box and bunny ears. I’m not sure what Roku is - does it let you get free TV? My biggest issue is that I’m going to be moving and don’t want to keep the landline....which means I’ll have to find a free-standing DSL so that I can do the internet. Or else maybe I’ll look into Straighttalk for a home phone “line” and resubscribe to Netzero DSL. But I’m sick of the high Verizon bills for a landline when I hardly call anyone.

Roku basically sits between your internet connection and your TV. You are basically streaming content through the Internet and having it display on your TV. Roku offers an interface for that. Once you hook it up, you can access the home page on your TV and use the remote to add internet channels as you see fit. Some of the channels you need to pay for such as Netflix and Hulu Plus. Many are free.

I also disconnected my landline and use cellphones or Skype only.
