Unfortunately, you cannot get any of the UK's terrestial channels like the BBC, nor can I tune into BayNews9 in Florida. But I could get an Italian Sunday evening (7 p.m.) quiz show where the contestants have to remove an item of clothing if they get an answer wrong until they are left with just one item.Oxynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-56296270344643666692009-07-02T00:12:04.874-05:002009-07-02T00:12:04.874-05:00Our choices here in the Old Country are limited. T...Our choices here in the Old Country are limited. The old GPO as it was called has gone through transformation after transformation and now calls itself BT. They are the main provider of phone lines. But other companies like Virgin can buy some capacity and sell their internet and phone service. I believe you can even have Sir Richard Branson deliver your morning coffee in bed.Oxynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-50263962069088432282009-07-01T12:27:14.399-05:002009-07-01T12:27:14.399-05:00The home office is in Philadelphia, and my friend ...The home office is in Philadelphia, and my friend in Pittsburgh said they never have problems with theirs either.

Ironic. He remembers me and says things about last time he was here and what was going on with my computer and service. I ask him about computer classes he's taking. He wrote a paper about my blogging experience and the results it got. I have phone numbers for about 8 people at Comcast now, and this blog got all that rolling! <br /><br />No, Charlie, it's David who has Time-Warner. We don't have that here. Tina has what you do and says the same things you did about it. I think maybe I need to change and not have Comcast phone service, though, because it can be a pain. An interesting thing is how when someone calls, it shows up on my television. This could be a problem for some people, couldn't it?Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718724697267800263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-58975117323440831562009-06-30T15:22:43.292-05:002009-06-30T15:22:43.292-05:00Whenever a cable company says "we are upgradi...Whenever a cable company says "we are upgrading to improve service to you, the customer" they aren't.

Trouble with Satellite ( Direct or Dish) is that when storms come, they lose the signal for long spells. and of course that only takes care of my TV- not my internet.Berry Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079390231632421561noreply@blogger.com
