  1. Re:Main Problem: I can't build a cost-effective PV on Learning to Love the Cable Guy · · Score: 1

    Get Dish. Providing they work something out for their DVR service, their channel guides DO have a setting for "All Subscribed Channels", and you can actually have up to four "favorite" lists per TV, where the guide and the up/down flip of channels only go through channels you -like- having. I was really sold on those features - it's just that Tivo won the injunction against Dish Network, so I'm waiting to see what sort of DVR service they'll offer before I try to upgrade my service plan.

  3. Schwan's on Amazon to Launch Online Grocery Store · · Score: 1

    I guess it's because I live in a rural area, but I've noticed -no one- here seems to mention Schwan's when this sort of thing comes up. They've been in my area for as long as I can remember, and while they don't deliver fresh foods, they do deliver an assortment of groceries. You can order online, over the phone, through a catalog... or if you get lucky and the truck just up and stops by. They come on a fairly regular schedule once you've opened an account with them -- so they can visit, say, once a month. But as an example, you can get frozen meat, pre-packaged dinners, dessert, Ice cream, bread, vegetables, pizza. Depending on your area, sometimes you can get eggs, milk and butter. Now, I can't remember seeing a lot of potato chips, cereal, or peanut butter... but maybe that's for the better.
