I imagine itâ(TM)s being âoerequiredâ to socialize with employees while some of them are completely wasted. I could personally understand why some people would not feel comfortable doing that. My experience in Fortune100s is everything is âoeoptionalâ but it really isnâ(TM)t if you care at all about your career.

Although not for Comcast but another major player, they likely are putting the "public" wifi on its own SSID, service-flow, and MAC/IP. This means that your modem will have a secondary data stream that can be enforced separately. About the only thing I'd be worried about is someone overwhelming the CPU as these are still underpowered home wifi devices.

I live in south King County and logged into my Comcast account to see what all the fuss was about. Because I have a separate router running DD-WRT and it is connected to my Arris cable modem I do not have the Xfinity WiFi option; or perhaps it is because my Arris cable modem does not have WiFi available when checking it's IP address of 192.168.100.1. Using their online Xfinity WiFi finder, one person near me has Xfinity WiFi and one person near where my dad lives does as well.

WTF, that is a TV tuner. We don't need a TV tuner, we just need a VCR to PC adapter. Where do I get one? I don't even know where to start.

The WinTV PVR has analog input for recording from analog sources. It does happen to have both analog and digital tuners but I do not use them. Their analog capture is the best that I have ever seen.
