  • i'm with cable tv hehehe. 1 reason not all shows can be downloaded on the net... but not all shows are shown on our cable too hehe.. Ooh. i like nba so with NBA TV, I can watch the game and if my cable was cut I couldn't have watch XGames 13..

  • So Vance, are you going to switch sides now? [grins]
