Took me 7 minutes - not as fast as some here, but it was fast enough for me (Zeb was downloading something else at the same time and Cloud was playing on Everquest).  :)

So.....like.........you've got a 3 PC network and the whole family sits and surfs/plays/works all at the same time?


Do you still pay for a TV license or hasn't the box been on since the ADSL was installed?

Yep - actually Zeb and Cloud have a couple of PCs and there is another we used to use as a server, all networked.  There's usually at least one of us online most of the time we are at home and not in bed, but we do watch some TV too (sometimes at the same time - there is a TV in the computer room upstairs)  :D  Oh, and it's been like this since long before we got broadband.  ;)

Yeah we do.... but at least it means that some channels (BBC, the ones we pay for) don't need to run commercials to survive.  :)

Yeah they have these little 'detector' vans that drive around looking for addresses that havn't paid for a license and are emitting the right radiation.

Hehe.... reminds me of when Zeb used to be a TV engineer and was also very active in amateur radio.  We had a mobile radio in the car and, as it was the days of horizontally-polarized AM radio, an omni-directional aerial on the car.  This was a circular aerial (known affectionately as a 'halo') on a small mast, which he had attached to a single ski-rack..... a few times when he was out on his rounds, people thought his car was a TV detector van!  :rofl
