any recommendation on Apple TV alternatives?

a DISH directly to my Mac and stream that wirelessly to any TV in

turner thing work? I mean the RG6 cable goes to the receiver,
but how does the receiver hookup to the 2 TV (which may be far
away, and A/V cable doesn't run very far). Are they using regular
antenna cable for TV and ask you to use channel 3? That would suck
for picture quality.

available in my area. I am thinking of DSS. Is it possible to
retransmit DSS signals so that I can, say, watch TV in my (detached)
garage but have the dish on the roof of my house? I would rather
not bury cables and all that shit. I don't watch that much TV.

| 2001/11/8-9 [Consumer/TV] UID:22980 Activity:insanely high | 11/8 I bought a home with a big round satellite dish (about 8'
diameter) on the roof. The dish is see-through like a net, not solid
like the DirectTV kind. Neither the previous owner nor my real-estate
agent know how to use it. Is there certain service that I need to
subscribe to? (I assume the dish is for some kind of TV service.)
Does anyone have any company name or phone number that I can call?

good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.

doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
Is this expected to work?
\_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address. The IPv6 addresses you see
in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

\_ Could only have happened if the Mac App Store had been a wild, wild
success, and they were willing to give up Steam. Games/dual-booting
is strategically valuable to not driving people away from macs.
A new ARM iOS based device, or opening the Apple TV to iOS apps
(same thing, really) would be much more likely than sabotaging their

U-verse service? I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.
