Can you watch TV over the Internet?
I have a selfish family member who is watching a heavy metal band right now that is singing opera "Darkness" and I wanted to watch "Amish in the City".

Can you get UPN over the Internet?

6. you need a special video card
but it's pretty cheap ($80-150) and then you can view video from a source (cable or wireless, I guess)

My kid does it. It's a picture in picture situation if you want, while you surf. Fun, huh?

10. I have Wi-Fi
I screwed it up the first day that I put the chip in because I fell asleep with my computer on my lap and it fell off and fell apart.

:argh:

8. I'm amazed you can't get UPN on the 'net...it wouldn't...
...use alot of bandwidth; UPN has, like, nine viewers.
