  1. Question for fellow tech folks out there. I have a client for my computer repair company who is interested in "external antennas for cable TV". Keep in mind this is a much older client in a retirement community with corresponding technical skills, so I'm kind of extrapolating her needs - her email to me read in part, "some folks here have some kind of external antennas that you put in the window, I don;t know but I am paying bundle for 215 channels that I rarely watch." I, in turn, rarely watch TV of any kind, so again, I'm trying to figure out what is wanted or needed and where to point her to. Anyone have any ideas?

  22. I reduced my DirecTV package last night (saving us $100 a month!) but there's no good way to remove all the channels I no longer get from the guide. Selecting "Channels I get" included *700* channels on a package that "only" gets 140, which is just stupid. I had to go through by hand with an empty favorites list and add all the channels that we do get, checking the list on my computer. 😒
