ok, two things!

i used to have a pc but I am now better! i also used to use aol and it completely s*dded up the pc - more than would normally be the case! my question is, does the mac aol software do the same to macs? if so, i'll keep y machine pristine!

second thing, does anyone know of a good usb stick digital tv tuner? ie does anyone have one they can vouch for?

thankings

    I can never understand why anyone installs the AOL software, as it is not necessary! If you connect using Ethernet, you do not even need to install modem drivers, so I don't understand your problem.

    Here is a USB TV stick with 40% off but be aware that all of these devices need sufficient signal to work properly.

    Enter your details into this site to find out what level of signal is available in your location.

    thank you!

    i'll take a look at the usb stick in a sec.

    i really don't want the software if i'm being honest but i think i'd need it to do things like checking billing, wouldn't i? if not, then it won't be a prob cos i'll be using a wireless router and all hard drive space saved is greatfully received! :D

    cheers
