I love my ISP!

[Skyclad1uhm1]

My ISP just started a test with DSL-TV over broadband, and during the testing period it will be free for everyone with a connection of at least 512kbps

National Geographic channel, some music channels and some other stuff, including an erotic channel

Animal planet is not considered an erotic channel.

Hmm, if they'd put that on as 'erotic channel' I'd be slightly disappointed in them :Q

It is if you live in Scotland

That is why Scotsmen were kilts, sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

National Geographic doesn't broadcast all the time.
The music channel is called MCM2, but both sound and video fall away half the time.
There is a classical music channel too, with jazz and 'world music', unfortunately that seems to concentrate on opera and jazz mostly.
A fashion channel?? And they don't even broadcast Victoria's Secret shows?
The Travel channel does not seem to be much either.
And the last one is a French erotic channel. Ah well, not like I don't understand French well enough to translate the moans (Chinese erotic movie, translated into French...)

It seems a bit too many people are trying it out at the moment, wonder whether they can fix the bandwidth problem.

I take back the remark about the fashion channel not showing Victoria's Secret shows! :Q

As long as its free thats the whip but when you have to pay for it I expect at least what I posted here.

The T.V. part might be different for me. I don't know

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Think it would be an extra service, rather than a replacement for cable.

Doh, they interrupted the show a little while

Although they're showing swimsuits now instead

Edit: Seems like the rest of the nerds and geeks noticed too that the fashion show is currently more interesting than the erotic channel... There goes the bandwidth

I get it. I would drop my cable tv service if I could get away with it.
