Umm...if computers weren't meant to be used with televisions, then why would they make video cards with TV-Out connections and have developed Media Center to be more easily integrated with you Home Theater System?  How do people upload their home movies to the internet from VHS and watch ripped backups of DVDs, etc. on their television directly from their hard drive?   DUH\n\nI apologize for the irrelevance to the question.

You would have to be able to find an Internet Service Provider that supports satellite.

The internet can't break down.\n\nWell, that's not true, the only way would be a world-wide power loss.

NO! Thats the whole idea of the connection on the back of ur TV. They not going to make a product with a certain function but if you use it its going to break ...seems pointless. Download away!

Are you asking about cable tv internet connections? Basically cable tv has enough bandwidth to carry your tv channels and also data, which is where your internet travels. Both signals travel on the same cable but one comes from the tv and the other one from internet.

Yes.\nHere are some options:\n\nCABLE  \nRequires professional installation of coaxial cable, cable boxes, splitters etc. \n\nPros - Fast download speeds, most cases wiring is already in place, less costly package deals available if purchased w/ phone and tv programming.\n\nCons - Slightly more expensive than DSL\n*Contact your local cable provider.\n\nSATELLITE\nRequires professional installation of a small dish w/ ability to send and receive signals. \n\nPros - Makes internet accessible to remote or rural areas where DSL or Cable access is not available.\n\nCons - Most costly of all options. Download speeds limited. Telephone line needed for initial setup in most cases.\n*Contact Dish Network, DirectTV or your local provider\n\nWIRELESS\nMany municipalities across the country provide or have plans to provide, free wireless access. Your town may fall into this category. Check with your city hall.\n\nHOTSPOTS\nFree - local restaurants, snack shops, bookstores and coffee houses. \n*While using a vendor's free "hotspot," be sure to make a purchase...it will keep you in their good graces and insure that you'll be welcome on your next visit. \n\nCommercial - Requires a subscriber fee or paid account. Some  offer "Pay As You Go" options similar to cellphone offerings.\n\nShared - Neighbor (within 150 ft.) with internet and  wireless router or AP. Offer to pay a small fee to share neighbor's broadband via his/her AP. Just make certain that you both "turn off disk sharing" services and that the arrangement does not violate any provider defined "terms of service."

are you using dial-up? if you are i wouldn't know anything about it. but if you are using dsl i find it helpful to turn of the modem, wait a while, turn it on, and reconnect to the internet. i've noticed that some downloads go a lot faster than others. try the modem trick and if that doesn't work contact your interent service provider. i had slow dsl and i called my isp and there was a problem (they had to have a repairman fix it). i hope that helps. :-)

Yes,  call the ISP you got the modem from.  They will walk your through it step by step.

It's actually possible with some broadband routers. If it has both a usb and an ethernet connection, try installing the usb on one and the ethernet on the other.

Yes, you can get access to the internet via satellite through Hughesnet. Same company that brings you DirectTV. Pretty expensive though, just depends on your needs and your pocketbook. Thinking seriously about it myself. They are on the internet ( of course ) and appear to have service around the world.

You can try many means of connection as Cable and Satellite as they pointed out. You can also use a Wireless Mobile Phone to browse the Internet, say thru GPRS or EDGE. Many smart phones and other phones allow the phone to act as a modem! So there you go! Or you can prefer to go Wi-Fi or WiMax in a area if there is coverage, like an internet hot-spot for example!

You get it by signing up for the internet. If you're already hooked up, then I would call my internet provider for help. Good enough, yes?
289563
it sucks, don't get it.  you will need broadband, if you want to be able to stream the channels quickly.  it doesn't have any normal channels though, only odd-ball channels from around the world.

No as the signal from a computer & television are completly different it cannot be done

Other people are probably downloading video and using all the bandwidth. Try repositioning the antennas.
