Feeling positively technical...

alexpgpYears of experience with cable and dish television suppliers has convinced me that I have no interest in about 95% of what's offered. I don't watch sports, have no use for infomercials, can't imagine using pay-per-view, and am not impressed by premium services that recycle the same old stuff (or worse, try to get you to watch their new content).
So I decided to see what we could do with a D-Link Boxee Box, which I bought (refurbished) through Amazon.
The setup went very smoothly, except for having to pause and reconfigure a wireless router to act as a bridged client (the television and the incoming data connection are at opposite ends of the house).
I didn't have all that much time to explore the capabilities of the box before Galina and I decided to watch something on Netflix, after which I'm back here in the office about to send off the item I finished despeckling at a little after 6 pm.
But it does look like an interesting device, that's for sure.
