I am streaming (not to the extreme of getting a nasty letter I hope) my xm on the Q.
Is there any way to check out some tv?

Not tying to shut down verizon's network. Just think its an interesting conversation piece, watch the 4th quarter of a game during weddings ha, etc

thanks

there are several ways to watch TV on the Q. If you only use them on occasions then you will be fine. Start watching it constantly and you will get shut down.

I use a program called Orb, I have cable signal running into my computer and it basically sets up my home computer as a server for tv. I log into a site from my Q and it shows whatever channels I have access to on my computer. The video quality is very good assuming I have decent signal. Best part is the program is free and is very easy to set up. I did run into a problem with windows XP though when someone else was logged on to the computer it wouldn't play correctly. Not sure ow i fixed it.

Thats the only one i've used but there are certainly others out there.
