Pretty simple. I have an XBox 360 that I want to connect to my Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6887 with Windows Vista, so that I can use the screen on the laptop as a monitor for the XBox. Can I do that? How do I do it? Will I require extra hardware/software/accessories?

My first thought was, of course not! After all, America is supposed to be the land of free speech and so on.

But when I thought about it some more, I remembered that the channel lineup back in Lebanon includes al-Manar TV, which is Hezbollah’s TV channel.

It’s nothing special; it’s mostly just advice shows and news brodcasts. But the neocon lobby went nuts in America back in 2004 and got it banned. If you are a satellite carrier or anything like that, it’s actually illegal for you to broadcast al-Manar into the US.

However, a Slingbox is not a commercial broadcast.

Would it be legal for me to use a Slingbox to watch TV from Lebanon even though al-Manar is included in the channel lineup?

I mean, you can watch al-Manar on their website, too, so, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

ok. there is an organization operating from a country in Europe which advertises to the customers in US for providing television programming to the people in US. After the customer signs up for the programming, company sends the customer a cable box. Customer plugs the box into their internet router and boom they can watch their native tv programming. Latest problems have been that, after a month or so later some of the tv networks are being taken off the programming and they are being replaced by some other channel. Possibility of a channel could be taken off programming was never mentioned when the customer signed up for the service. And that possibility is still not being mentioned on their website. When contacted, companys’ response was that, "these things are bound to happen" ??? my question is that, why wasn’t that mentioned before i signed up? and i get no answer. I live in New York state, should i contact the Attorney General and the FCC? This to me sounds nothing more than a bait and switch, they advertise that they are going to offer channel "A" but after a month or two later they remove that channel and replace it with some other channel that customer doesn’t care for.
Ben: What are you smoking? who is stealing cable? read the question first.

I have a Compaq laptop from windows XP and I’m not sure how to delete things permanently from my PC. If I go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and Disk Cleanup then I cleanup C Disk, does it take it off permanently? I’m kind of iffy about going to websites and downloading things to erase things, because it ends up getting half way there and you have to pay for it. So I’m just wondering about the Disk Cleanup, And also if your a great computer Wiz what does a disk defragmenter do?

I have 32 Bit Windows Vista Home Prem SP1. With Win Media Center I am trying to view TV programming on my PC using its own monitor as the TV display. This is a multimedia desktop (HP Paviliion) so it has all the goodies.

Before I proceed, I do NOT have cable, no satellite. With my regular TVs I get my programming from my rabbit ears. Also I’ve been hearing about a desktop box which I clearly don’t have.

So the question is, is there some way I can see TV programming on my PC with just regular TV antennas or do I need special antennas or this infamous desktop bo?. Cable and satellite are not options. Help!

Which satellite carrier is a better deal? We’ve had Dish Network for 6 years, but the receiver is broken. Do we purchase a new DishNetwork receiver and stick with them, or should we switch to DirecTV, who offers equipment/install/etc free of initial charge?

Thanks! Appreciate any advice on this one…it’s so frustrating.

if so how? on the software there is something called "PC Camera Mode" isnt that a webcam? When i clickon it all i see is a big black square

I’m doing a paper about applications on my computer.. Besides actually counting every single application is there a place I can that will tell me how many I have? If so, where is it? Because I can’t find it anywhere. I also have to include any applications that may have come with your computer, like games and accessories.
According to the add/remove programs I only have 84 programs. I don’t think that is accurate. Since, ALL the programs on my computer are not in the add/remove program section.

i just bought a nikon s70 touch screen digital camera and i want to buy a printer for it, is there a specific printer i need for it and if so whats it called?

Can they legally charge me for that? I am quite sure (as are other people) that the homeowner is trying to scam our company. The claim was originally WELL over ,000 and when my company counter offered them 00, they quickly bit. That sounds like a scam to me. Now my employer is telling me they are going to payroll deduct the 00. I am in Michigan. Can they do this? And if I don’t agree to let them, can they fire me. If I get fired over this, would I have legal recourse against the company? I cannot afford to lose my job…not that anyone really can…..

There are a few websites claiming that you can get satallite television on your PC. However, they don’t tell you what channels are available. If you have any experience or advice I’d sincerely appreciate it. I’m thinking of getting it but would like to find out more before I commit. Thank you very much for anything you can offer!!
