Windows-7: Thinking about
upgrading from Vista/Windows-XP/or an older version of windows to Windows-7? Going
from Vista (x32 or x64) isn't so bad in fact it's a vast improvement
over Vista, but going from e.g Windows XP/XP Professional/x32 or x64
or earlier is a different story. Deep cleansing breath here as they
say, be prepared to jump some hoops and hurdles and have all those
installations CD's/DVD's/etc available. Some are saying you might be
better to do a clean install. Checkout and read some of these articles
and links first. Visit the

Movies & TV On Line:
A number of websites some related to cable and satellite providers are providing
streamed Movies & TV On Line over the Internet now
(usually older movies and TV shows but not always). Since some of the guide listing services
don't always make list those features available we thought we would
provide some links to the listings for what's on for
Movies On Line also. Visit the
new
Movies & TV On-Line portion of section
of our TV Listings Section below for more information.
Note this is different from Movies on Demand or what is normally
available through normal broadcast and in the theatres.

Movies On Demand.. Visit the
new

Digital TV:
What does DTV stand for? (Deep Vein Thrombosis), no at least not in this case, it
stands for Digital TV. The big switch already started happening in the
U.S. Beginning on June 11th 2009, most television stations, networks,
cable providers, and satellite system carriers already completed the
switchover and started broadcasting in DTV format. Over the next 3-Years
those still left on analog services (e.g Cable, and Satellite)
will gradually notice more and more channels disappearing from their
channel lineup, get the facts on DTV (Digital TV) and DCR (Digital Cable
Ready) equipment. Visit the
Digital TV section
below for more information.
