What's femotel? It seems to be like Magic Jack (it's made by Magic Jack) and it hooks into your usb port of your computer. It then acts like a blue tooth to your cell phone, but instead of using minutes, you are using cable. I haven't gotten all the details, but I'm like _this close to getting it. I'm sick of being tied to cable.
Cable/phone/internet is about $160 a month....Granted it's cheaper than it used to be when my phone bills were more than $200 a month years ago before they had these calling plan deals.
I got ticked that several channels were made premium channels last year, so I couldn't get them on tvs that didn't have boxes....I raised a stink and they dropped my bill by get this....a lousy $10 ha! Then one month later someone raised it back up and told me the guy didn't have authorization to do that.....even though he told me it would be effective for the year.
Now, it's been several weeks without my favorite channel ....Food Network. It doesn't appear that they are working this out.
Here are my questions:
1. Does anyone have Magic Jack? Does it work through all the phones in your house? How exactly does it work? I want to eliminate the landline.
2. Does anyone have femotel? Does it only work on your cell phone or can it work like Magic Jack and work on house phones?
3. Dish or Direct TV? Anyone want to comment?
4. I saw a box that hooks up to a regular cable/dish box, but I can't remember who had it. It allows you to watch cable box/dish box shows on tvs that are not directly hooked up to a box. I dont' want to rent several cable boxes for each tv. I currently have two dvr boxes and that's all I want. Anyone know how or what I need to accomplish this? Does Direct tv or Dish Tv make you have a box for stuff outside of HBO-type channels?
Thanks for the info.
