I can say that I have NEVER had to do summer reading projects throughout school.
I didn't have any summer reading projects either.  The only summer school project that I was ever asked to do was to grow a sunflower for a contest.  Why are schools recently pushing out these summer reading projects?

Humm... I've never had to do any summer work either. The whole point of summer is to be away from school!

My slingbox is gone. Using WinTV is not my preferred method because of huge file sizes, inconvenience of moving the laptop upstairs (where my slingbox was connected to) and because of overheating. It was good while it lasted. :no: I can't believe the stupidity, selfishness and carelessness  with some of my family members. :angry:

OMG that's terrible Molly :o

I'm having to move back to using my Pinnacle now. WinTV is a memory whore. <_<

Finally, I'm having to steal wifi again, and the results are better than yesterday. :D

Yikes, sorry about that, Vic.

I still have WinTV. And I do have the slingbox all cleaned up but it's pointless with the modem we have...it's now that I have no control of what I can keep in my own home.

I don't know, but I didn't bother doing mine, and it looks like I'm lucking out again this year. :P I've been lucky to have laid back English teachers. The one I have this year doesn't like the summer reading idea either.

I'm so glad I don't have a slingbox. They sound so confusing to use, and the accelerating audio in the beginning irritates me.

Setting up the slingbox isn't a very hard process, provided that you have a modem. The accelerating audio is because of the streaming from the Slingbox. You're going to get that in any stream. Not sure why the audio irks you, no one else really has an issue with it

I absolutely LOVE my slingbox. The only tricky part about the setup was setting up the slingbox with a static IP on my router and port forwarding the stream ports to its IP. At first I had it setup only with port forward but then it would change IPs on me and stop working but now that it has a static IP it's great! Now if the iPhone app would allow me to use it on 3G, darn you AT&T!!!

A SlingBox is a weapon to me because who knows what I'll be doing when I'm on the internet at school. :bleh:

I've been considering a slingbox but they're incredibly expensive.

me too! I am glad I was able to find a recorder for the Slingbox especially. Unlike WinTV (even though WinTV isn't a bad program) the Slingbox gave me convenience.
