In regard to the Computer option to watch MSNBC,

is it possible to enlarge the screen?

Since I no longer have access to MSNBC through my TV, this option is a godsend but the picture is so small.

Any help is appreciated.

8. Bingo! Thanks, what a difference. This computer option is

especially wonderful for me because my son-in-law will be visiting shortly and I know he is cringing at the thought of just our few basic cable channels. He can have his sports too. Just an occasional bump of the mouse and we're set to go. To whoever found this for us, a million thanks.

2. If your computer has a Video Out port you should be

able to use a video cable to plug it into almost any TV that has an auxiliary in port, and just watch it on your TV screen.

3. Channelsurfing.net is impressive!

Do any of you know if there are any maximum time-limits to viewing the channels there? Also, are there any other websites that offer a similar service? Thanks!

10. No Download, just pull up the sight, scroll down to what you

want, click on the station and off you go! Many channel options.

12. I had no trouble and did not have to download anything but

perhaps if you do not have Windows Media Player, you would have to download that. See home page note on that site.. I checked on the programs I have in the Control Panel and windows Media Player is there.

Perhaps someone reading this will be better able to help you. I am a computer novice. Good luck.

4. How did I miss this? I'm caught in the cable-MSNBC blackout.

MSNCB made a deal with the devil (Cable) and made it exclusive in all areas where cable landed before other providers. So, for any amount of money, I am unable to get MSNBC through my ATT Uverse.

I like Uverse, so, this is wonderful! Screw you, cable! I got my Olbermann right here!

Thanks.

6. Do they have the entire episodes?

All I have found is clips. Do they have the whole show like Comedy Central does?

7. Hurray

I have Verizon FIOS..For some bizarre reason, MSNBC signed an exclusive carry deal with Cablevision so we are MSNBCless. Will have to give this a try.
