[GRLUG] TIVO with rabbit ears

[Bob Kline]

Thanks for the heads up.  Now to hope
it comes down my street.  If it does,  I'll
drop Comcast PDQ,  unless it bumps its
bandwidth up substantially.

Without doing the same to the price of
course...

One figure I've read is that Comcast
allocates 45Mbps per 330 customers.
That should help explain that time-of-day
congestion....
