Wireless Cable advanages/disadvanages

 

My cable company decided to go from wired cable to wireless cable, the reason why is quite obvious, they may reach more costumers that way. As for the custumers they could put their televisions anywhere as long there is an outlet. Not only that the costumers can watch their cable on any devices, P. Cs, iPad, iPod, cellphone etc.

For example:  You're watching a good movie in your living room and suddenly have to go to the bathroom, just take an iPad with you and watch the movie there. The cable app records everything you're watching on a free cloud, so if you're watching TCM and are in the middle of a movie, you will get a prompt saying, "Start from the beginning?" if there is no reply to, it will simply resume.

In my case they have installed Amazon firesticks in back of my televisions, the reason my cable tv is now an app. Yes, I can watch tv anywhere, as long as it's in range of their router (usually 100 feet). Garages are usually 50 feet away from the house, so one can even get cable there.

Now if I connected it to another router, like in a friend's house, some yards away, and try to watch cable, it will display a message saying, "Watch at home" . Yes, they know your location has changed, but other apps on the firestick will still work like for example Pluto TV. Your router and your firestick have codes embedded in it, if the codes do not match then no cable.

The disadvantage of wireless cable is when the internet goes down, the cable goes along with it, unless after the wireless cable was installed, the used old cable wires were switched to an antenna.

Yes, one can buy a router extender that extends the router's 100 feet limit to 200. If there is a park near you less than 200 feet, you can watch cable there on your cellphone, iPad, iPod, computer or simply sit on your porch to watch and enjoy the fresh air, or simply do not bring any device and just enjoy nature's music.

Yes. you can get wireless cable on a satellite. (end)

Cell Phone Start Button Broken or Missing?

*Cell phone button missing or broken? Simply plug it into your battery charger then remove the cable from the cell phone, you will see that the display has lighted up. Of course, one does not want to keep unplugging and plugging all the time.

Even if someone calls you the display will light up. After a few minutes of inactivity, the cell phone goes into what is called a sleep mode and turns off its display. People can call you, but how can you call them back? You will have to see the display when you take it with you.

To fix this, go to settings it is usually at the gear icon, click on "DISPLAY," you see numbers of hours and minutes when you want the display turn off, set it to "NEVER". Now you do not have to worry about the display shutting off. It will always be visible.

In my case I have had set my phone to disconnect from the internet, every time the cell phone goes into sleep mode, or if you are not going to use the internet and blue tooth on the cell phone for a while, just switch them off, then you're left with just a cell phone that connects to the cell tower.

Of course, you can always purchase a new cell phone and transfer the SIMS card to the new cell phone. Never touch the copper parts of the SIMS card.

And remember even if the cell phone has no subscription, it will still dial 911 when called give them the address first, then your report. 

If you're not using the old cell phone anymore, give to a friend, so they can least call 911 for immediate emergencies ONLY!. Yes, it's a federal law in the United States; All phones have to dial 911 regardless of there is a subscription or not. (end)
