TSS Live Calls- June 14
written by Roman Loyola on Monday, June 14, 2004


Call No. 1: HTML editors
Jason in Fairfield, Iowa, is looking for a recommendation for a HTML editor.

Kevin says that using Microsoft Front Page is OK, but it uses proprietary tags that can break in some Web browsers. If you want to build a basic page, Front Page is OK.

Kevin likes Macromedia Dreamweaver. It has better features for complex websites.

You can also buy a HTML book and try writing HTML code manually. It's a good way to learn how HTML works.

Call No. 2: broadband shopping
Chris in Wynne, Ark., is shopping for broadband. Should he get DSL, cable, or satellite?

Get satellite is you have no other choice. Satellite doesn't work well for games. It's great for downloads and Web surfing.

Cable was great speeds, but you have to take security precautions to protect your PC. Check your cable providers for deals with your cable TV service.

DSL isn't as fast as cable, but it's still pretty fast.

Talk to your neighbors and friends. We recommend cable, but look for the best price deals. If you can get DSL significantly cheaper than cable, consider it.

Call No. 3: Wi-Fi boost
Michael in Middleburg, Fla., wants to share his Wi-Fi connection with his neighborhood. How can he do this?

You can upgrade the antenna on your Wi-Fi router to one with greater range. If you use a 15dB, 2.4 GHz antennta, you should be able to broadcast over a nice, long range.

The show died. You can try The Lab with Leo or DL(.)TV if you want to see these guys now.

[zdtvfan]

wow 3000 views must be the xbox mod

[gcuber]

GREAT SHOW!! Thanks for uploading these episodes. Do you have the one where Leo and some other guy manipulated the voices inside the Speak'N'Spell and Chatty Kathy?

[zdtvfan]

no i don't think so

[bkisme]

sometimes? more like all the time.

Fuck G4. I miss fucking techtv in all its greatness.

[TwighlightMist]

i was addicted to this show, i'd watch it every night when it was on, it all went sucky when G4 merged with TechTV though.

[kmac639]

G4 and AOTS tries way too hard and is just plain exploitative!

Kevin Pereira is a douche and Olivia Munn is just hired eye candy. And that is one of my biggest pet peaves with G4: they hire these female hosts who couldn't give a crap about nerd culture just because they're hot!

That's just patronizing. It's like the executive producers thought, "Let's hire these chicks who have the personality of mud just because they're hot. Our viewers won't care, they're virgins! They need the eye candy!"

[Dax331]

The Screen Savers was funny when it had to be funny, and every single one of the hosts on there had their own wits about technology. Attack of the Show tries too hard to be funny, and at the same time it's not funny at all. It's like watching a innocent child, poisoned, and with no arms trying to climb a ladder.

[MrBibi86]

they really need a show like this back on the air.

[TheLarssan]

Wow.

[hga101]

Yea attack of the show sucks techtv was way better and plus they had ROBOT DEATHMATCH which was badass!

[AmentiProductions]

............i can not disagree more...

[xXxZEROxXx2]

Aots is still preddy good,

I can watch aots and not feel so nerdy

I would rarely watch this show

because of how boring it could be..

Aots offer's funny, neat, and unusual things

[DesignerDigital]
