Well, hundreds with satellite or cable, but only 2 terrestrial channels 
worth watching - and then only occasionally :-)

Pity poor Richard - as exile on the edge of England, where no cable 
company dares dig. In fact about one-third of the population of England 
has access to cable. Note, I said 'England' not UK and I said 
'population' not land-mass.

Here in civilised  (ish) Swindon, we do have cable. It's only necessary 
to set network prefs to DHCP and all works with the cable modem.

When I had probs accessing ebay, but could get most other sites, the 
cable company said it was their fault - their DNS servers were having a 
problem with viruses or something.
