[Boatanchors] Wall Warts and Switcher Power Supplies

[Sandy]

I have "CABLE TV"!  Ever since DirecTV (who I had for almost 10 years) 
wanted a passle of bucks to convert to HD TV and couldn't supply me with a 
decent wideband Internet modem!  (2-4 Mbits/sec guaranteed!...HA!)

I threw ATT landline out too at the same time.  Now my bill is about the 
same DirecTV wanted (which I enjoyed immensely BTW) for just the HDTV 
service!  Now I get internet telephone, high speed internet and HDTV bundled 
for a couple of years for slightly over $100 a month.

I would have stayed with them IF they had some decent Internet speeds!!  No 
HUGHES is way out of my price range!

73,

Sandy W5TVW

Who has cable TV any more?

I have a satellite Dish.

I flip the switch and there it is.  No reboot needed.
