[Enorah]

Company pays for phone/DSL. We use rabbit ears for a 13 inch TV I bought 10 years ago at Target. Don’t watch much TV.

as,pw, and others. Thanks. Ok.

I really didn’t want to get more cable tv, but since I’m going to be bedridden sometime in the future and since I have visitors staying, I thought the standard basic cable wasn’t gonna cut it for my guests…Anyway, here was the details

ATT Uverse U-100 (100+channels): $44/month
1 extra receiver: $7
-$14/month for 1 year promotion
-$10/month for 6 month promotion

ATT Uverse Express Internet : $25/month
-$15/month san diego promotion until the end of the year.

So total was about $37/month for the first 6 months, beyond which I’ll probably cancel the TV.

I had to ask for these deals, and had to call different ATT reps, since it seems like not every agent knows about all these deals. Each time I called, I got a different price, so I kept requesting getting transferred to a different agent until the price was low enough 🙂

What I had before was

Time Warner cable (Basic )$13/month
ATT DSL basic $15/month.
And because i needed DSL, ATT Basic phone line : $13/month

Time Warner wanted $58/month for extended cable (I balked). The drawback from U-verse is you need a receiver for each room, which is an addtional $7/month. BUT, I’m only requesting 1 additional one. (I have an RF radio that can propagate channels from one receiver to another TV, so I have a total of 3 TV’s that will be able to do this). The other drawback is that installation isn’t mid/end february (backlogged).
I also heard customer service isn’t too great.

Technically, I could get rid of my land line, because U-verse does not require a phone line . But I figure my guests might want to be able to make local calls.

I am wondering if there is a way of hooking my computer up to the TV and then routing everything through the computer.Anyone doing that already.

If you have decent PC video card you just need the S-video (or HMDI on fancy video card) out to TV and the line out cable from PC audio card to receiver.

For my low end laptop, I have VGA output hooked up to my LCDs (most LCD have PC input), and a Y cable from headphone jack of laptop to RCA input of my receiver. Stream netflix, decent picture, OK audio only stereo.

monoprice.com has all cables you need at very low prices.
