Participant[quote=Hatfield]Do you guys have any opinion on VOIP boxes? One of my projects for the new year is to dump phone and cable service and get a digital converter box and put up an aerial and get all my TV either through the air or through the internets.
So as part of that effort, I was wondering if anyone here has an opinion on the various VOIP boxes offered by Vonage, Ooma, etc. I would prefer to get one that will allow me to transfer my wireline telephone phone number since I’ve had it for ~20 years.[/quote]
We use this company and are basically very happy with the service. http://www.italkbb.com/bb/enu/enu_index.asp

ParticipantWe use Vonage for telephone, it has been great. $30/month (including taxes) for unlimited calling everywhere, including international.
Also we stream internet content (Hulu, ESPN3, etc.) to our TV via our Wii. We use a program called Playon
It cost maybe $40/year and works fine for us. No need for cable, as many others have said. But I do still have to pay ATT for internet service, haven’t figured out a way around that one yet.

GuestSomething is driving me crazy…
At my second home, in Philly, I installed the HDTV antenna on the roof and ran the cable to the basesment where it splits off to 3 locations where I have TVs.
The 2 TV upstairs get the ABC channel, but the one in the basement does not. If I don’t split the antenna output, then the basement TV gets the ABC channel.
They are all the same TVs.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need an amplifier? The ABC channel was always weak and before I had the outdoor HDTV antenna, I could not get it.
