Broadband and streaming for Ed & Barbara

[Alan is coordinating this: if you have a suggestion, enter it as a comment at the bottom of this post.]

HEd now has a TV and a WiFi DVD. Please feel free to send DVDs to Barbara & Ed. Ed says, nothing too serious for now. Barbara might like lots of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelley, good musicals, Cary Grant, Casablanca, Big Deal on Madonna Street, uzw. Still to be figured out:

Time Warner broadband activated September 25. Channel 27 MSG should be included in "Standard Service": "The MSG Network, now shortened to simply MSG, is a regional cable television and radio network serving the Mid-Atlantic United States. It is focused on New York City sports teams. The network takes the name of Madison Square Garden, and has long been the producer of radio and television broadcasts of the NBA's New York Knicks, NHL's New York Rangers, and WNBA's New York Liberty, which play their home games at the Garden."

Milena Cuellar had already given Ed an account with two free weeks, but has now canceled it.

Alan Wolf, 917-710-0080: I have a roku, which is terrific. The roku box is inexpensive and has no monthly attached fees (unless you want things like Amazon movies streamed through the box). Roku delivers much of netflix's content at no additional cost beyond the minimal membership cost ($9 / month) and no mailing/waiting for DVDs. It allows you to pick content either from a PC or from the TV/roku interface.
