    30% Of Americans Don't Have Internet Access

    It's possible because they stopped rolling out high speed internet to rural areas 10 years ago. My parents live in rural WI, and the telcoms were upgrading the phone lines ~15 years ago, and kept telling my parents that DSL should be available within a year or two. Never happened. Their...

    Xbox One FAQ

    I wonder if it will be able to use shared tuners, or act as an extender.

    Comcast Is Now Encrypting Basic Cable Data

    They announced they'd wipe out the remaining basic channels here near Mineapolis at the end of March. They did so, and I had my TV search again. I still get the all the local channels (three HD PBS stations!), and a few bonus ones like WGN, TBS and a few others. If anything, they removed...

    Got the go-ahead to build a couple Plex HTPCs: main requirement is small size

    You just want something to receive movies from a plex server, as well as be able to stream hulu/netflix/amazon stuff? Have you looked at the Roku boxes? Their latest gen stuff has been pretty impressive. I personally don't have one, but was heavily considering using an XBOX360 as an...

    Ripping blu-ray disks To Hdd

    I fully agree with this. About 10 years ago, I ripped all my DVD's, and compressed them. I figured I'd be OK with the slightly poorer quality because larger HD's were out of my price range. I was wrong. I had a nice collection I spent a lot of time compressing to fit on my HD. I've recently...

    Wireless: PC to PC is slow, from internet is fine

    Hey all, I have an E4200 router with a fairly new HTPC wired to it, and another desktop connected wirelessly using a DWA-552 card (2.4 GHz only). The internet speeds work great, I get the advertised 20Mbit from Comcast, and my pings in TF2, etc are also good. The problem is file transfers...

    Netgear WNDR3700 VPN

    I'm assuming that there is not a good answer to the problem using just the WNDR3700 (i've been searching more, still did not find anything comparable to my situation.) So would my next best bet be to use a router that is specified to work with the security protocals, and use that as my...

    Netgear WNDR3700 VPN

    I didn't realize it would be a big deal, and the WDNR3700 seems to be highly recommended, and for the most part has worked well for me....hoping we find a work-around. Of these, I only see the UPnP. It is turned on. The 'UPnP Portmap Table' is empty, if that means anything though.

    Netgear WNDR3700 VPN

    I was just seeing if anyone has had luck using the Netgear WNDR3700 while using a VPN. I ask because I purchased this router, and have loved the speeds both wired and wireless, except on my work computer when using VPN. The connection to my main office is VERY slow, and disconnects a lot. When...

    music player

    I like Media Monkey. I rocked an old version of winamp for a long time, but it was just a little too clunky.
