As to the “boxlet”? It’s a receiver, one that receives digital signals, as a digital TV would have, but our old analog cable-ready TV doesn’t. At least as I understand it. It hooks up to a computer & through the magic of software, we can watch local digital broadcasts on the computer screen. It also can do Tivo-like things: recording shows, letting you go back and check what someone just said then resume at the “live” spot in the broadcast, watch two channels simultaneously, things that make TV geeks very happy…. Is that what you were inquiring about?

Oh, Rss. That boxlet stuff makes my head spin! 🙂 But then I got distracted by cousins and 1st-cousins-once-removed and kayaking and knitting and beach-sitting and finishing a book and hiking and cooking and you name it! 🙂
