Ryan,

Here is the list of Channels:

TBS Superstation, Animal Planet
TNT, MTV, Disney, lifetime, Discovery
WGN, ESPN2, Fox SportsNet, cnn
Nick, TLC, ESPN, SCI-FI
A&E, Fox family, Showtime, HBO, QVC

To get the cable programming you will need to run a cable splitter before
the modem/router then one feed into the TV or VCR, and the other into the
modem/router.  You may lose signal strength, but watching the Avs in the
playoffs is worth it.

Jeremy

PS Do not put the splitter in between the Antenna, and the power unit.
Splitters do not pass signal or power both ways.

	You mean they rotate web access... That I have noticed come and go
during peak hours, but SSH, FTP, etc... have always worked.

	They do? Is there an actual cable programming feed on the antenna
feed? I only ask because where I live, I can't get cable via land lines
and a satelite dish is too expensive (had to decide between cable and
broadband Internet). Would you explain this further? Thanks.
