Re: Man, I can't wait to get Speedvision

Speedvision has made my other channels almost obsolete! :-D Speedvision is as much a necessity as cable-modems. At least my cable company likes me with over $100 CAD bill a month :-P Thank you Speedvision! Jason. c wrote: > stupid cable provider doesn't provide speedvision.

stupid cable provider doesn't provide speedvision. I've been bugging them for the past year, and it might pay off. They say maybe in around 4-5 months. I HATE hearing about all the cool stuff on speedvision =) scooter

Call them every couple of weeks, and get some friends to do the same (even if they're not motorsport fans...the more people who call, the quicker they respond). John Courtney wrote:

DSS is the ticket. Much better picture and they have SpeedVision. Even better, the Fox sport channels re-broadcast all F1 races the same day - you can pick the time to watch. May cost $10 more a month but well worth it.

man...you think speedvision is great without watching it?? boy o boy!!!! i can't believe i lived without that channel!!! i hope you get speedvision soon!!!! it is the best channel!!!

I got tired of waiting after several times the CTV company said it would have it in a few month, so I bought a satalite dish. They have all sorts of races and racing shows that make it well worth it. I was paying $32 a month for CTV and now I pay $40 for STV. Lutrell c wrote in message <196O4.3003$[email hidden]>...

No Speedvision? I have 2 words for you -- Dish Network. I got my dish about 2 months ago and Speedvision was not part of the package. In the last month, they have added it as part of their Top 150 package, which is $39.99/month. In addition to that package, I have the HBO package, which adds 6 HBO channels for another $10.99/month. So, for just over $50/month, I get around 160 channels, including Speedvision. That beats the hell out of the $75/month I was paying for cable, which gave me about 50 channels. You really should check into it... TW On 30 Apr 2000 17:58:18 GMT, [email hidden] (Dan Belcher) wrote:

I'm getting 67 channels (including superchannel and some american superstations) for $35 (CDN) a month. I'll wait a few more months for the speedvision. If only I can get my friend to quit telling me about all the good stuff he's always watching..... scooter Todd Walker <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

75$ for cable? That's quite expensive! Wish we could receive Speedvision here in Holland. Now I've got do do it with Discovery, Eurosport, and Duke's Video... Andre On Mon, 01 May 2000 04:34:52 GMT, [email hidden] (Todd Walker) wrote:

I cringe at the thought of satellite internet access. It should be fast, but not conducive to gaming because of higher latencies. Maybe I should have said, I'm paying so much for cable because I'm paying for: 1. All 3-tiers 2. 3 additional outlets 3. Cable-internet access 4. 1 extra IP address If I were to use satellite, I would need 4 satellite dishes and more. I don't hate cable; I was just saying they love me because I'm using all of their services :-D Jason. [email hidden] wrote:

Good point. I have DSL but if you cannot get it in your area, you can look into Direct PC. I know nothing about it - just that they have a DSS/DirectPC dish that combines the two.

I got the 2nd IP address because I had to get my YouBeTheBoss server up quickly and painlessly :-) I built a Linux Red Hat 6.0 server with 2 ethernet cards which could/might actually be used as a router but I hate making life hard for myself. I have a Linksys 10/100 hub, but that's child's play compared to a router. Ahh... it looks nice and only $329.99 from Futureshop Canada :-( http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=20&grid=5 Well at least I have a possible simpler idea than using Linux .. :-) Jason.

Why not dump the second IP and get a LinkSys Router? It allows you to use NAT setup basic Firewall features and it even handles DHCP. Spending $160 now might save $ later? SLG Jason Monds <[email hidden]> wrote:
