$99. Plug it in, 2 cables. Goodbye cable tv.
You’re like hubby, we had a set up like that, it worked pretty OK, but I did find it confusing.
But we were still running it off comcast, then he got mad at them and now we are back to Directv. Sunday ticket is the best, that I must say.
So he got rid of all the computer hook up (I think, maybe it’s still there, we’re all still screwed up from Sandy anyway so who knows?) and hard drive, we are just using the DTV DVR, still not as good as teevo and not as good as what we had with the media center thing-y either.
But I clicked on this link because today I was able at my weekend job to log onto Hulu and did very well with it.
I watched a glee re-run and then it went automatically into Nashville. I’d never seen that show, but I was instantly hooked, I’m probably going to go watch more episodes RIGHT NOW.
I liked it so much I almost considered hulu plus, and maybe I would do the free week and catch up with the story. Although I sort of disapprove of doing stuff like that and I’m too broke to fork over the dough to really sign up.
It is all pretty complicated, I’m almost missing those old 5 channel days, but not really.
But what are you using for an internet conection?

E-300 benchmark is ultra pathetic. I am amazed you can do this but I guess the (your) video card conquers all
Looking for something that can run firefox, do wifi, and has enough Cpu to play streamed hidef video. It would be strictly for playing videos.
Don’t care what else it can do. It would have to have an HDMI out though. I have a Roku and that works fine. I need something that runs firefox so I can do noscript. That way I can watch all of my Tv shows ad free.
