Cannot watch MS NBC on TV anymore?

You may need to contact your cable provider. MSNBC may have been removed from your cable provider or you may have to spend more money to get the extra channels. Please contact your cable provider to find out what is the problem. But before you do that try disconnecting the power to the cable box for a minute then readding it. Also, make sure the cable plug is secure. If you have used a cable splitter this may have resulted in the lose of that channel, make sure the cable box is attached to the outlet to the cable and not split with a splitter. If this is all completed and you still have the same issue contact your provider and you make need to pay more or have a technician come and to reprogram your cable box.

Which types of internet access do not require a phone connection?

There are several internet connections that do not require the use of a phone connection. 1. DSL DSL uses the same phone line to connect to the internet that is used for phone conversations. However, you can still surf the internet and talk on the phone at the same time. You will need a DSL modem (get from your service provider) and filters to put on all your phone jacks that has a phone connected to them. 2. T1 Line A T1 line is a separate line that the phone company installs into your house. Still need some sort of modem. 3. Cable Internet Perhaps the fastest of them all. You would connect your cable line to, yes a cable modem. 4. Satellite This is the most costly but most reliable. It gets it signal exactly as the name suggests. The speeds are not as fast as the other ones.


Can you connect your ps3 directly with your internet cable i dont have a modem nor router only internet cable can i still connect with that?

No. The PS3 can only have a wired connection with an ethernet cable. The only other connection that is possible is WiFi. The PS3 can only connect to the internet with WiFi or ethernet cable no other type connection is possible. You can not use the HDMI or USB port to connect the PS3 to the internet. I do not believe a router can be connected to the internet cable without a modem or that you can have cable internet without a modem


Do you need a modem or can you just use a router for the computer?

A router is used for connecting multiple computers to a single connection, but it doesn't provide the actual connection. You still need a cable modem or a DSL modem to connect to the router to provide the connection to the internet. Usually on the back of the router there is one port marked internet or uplink that you'll need to connect to the modem you get.

How do you hookup a non WiFi computer to the internet?

You can connect it through a traditional network cable. The computer needs a network card for that.It is still possible to get dial-up service over a telephone line. You can search for a local ISP (Internet Service Provider) that still supports dial-up access. Net-Zero is one such company. This requires a modem port on your computer. (don't confuse with an ethernet port, the connectors look similar, but the ethernet connector is wider than the phone line connector).On a windows system you can check for a Modem or Network adapter with the Windows Device Manager.If you have a Network adapter, usually some ethernet controller, you can get ADSL or a cable modem. If you don't have a network adapter (with an ethernet port). You could buy one.ADSL service uses your phone line, it splits the signal so you can use your phone and computer at the same time. Contact your local ISP.A cable modem, is provided by some TV cable services.With both ADSL and a cable modem service connect to your ethernet port.If you have USB ports you can buy a WiFi adapter and plug into a USB port on your computer. (You can also buy a WiFi card and plug into your computer chassis. This will require that you have access to a wireless network. You can buy a ADSL modem with wireless, or add a wireless access point to your ADSL or cable modem.3G service is available, but expensive.Summary, find a local ISP, they can help you.Dial-up is very slow, and not very useful, downloading pictures, updates, new software is very, very slow.Think about adding wireless to your computer via a card or USB adapter. It means no ugly cables to manage, can handle multiple computers.

Do you have to have a an Internet provider to have wireless internet connection to your laptop macbook since internet is not owned by anyone can't I just buy a wireless modem and connect to internet?

If you want to have cable or phone modem (internet, in order to use wireless internet you still need a provider) you need to have a contract with one of internet providers. The only exception is mobile phones with internet feature activated (I'm not sure if you can connect a wireless router to it).
