Frontline piece on both candidate Romney and President Obama

bobabode · #1 10-10-2012, 01:07 AM

PBS Frontline episode on the history of both candidates. Pretty comprehensive and exhaustive study of the two of them. It has actually cleared up some misconceptions in regards to both of them.

Make no mistake I absolutely believe that President Obama is the right man for the job, hands down. No question in my mind.

Has anyone else sat through this episode? It was a fair and penetrating look see into what makes them both tick, IMO. I didn't see any partisan skewing left or right, personally. So, what did you think of it?

Thanks! I still haven't figured out how to hook my computer to my tv through the modem but I'll have some time here shortly, I'll sit at my desk and watch it soon!

I've never done it but I think it's as simple as running an S-video cable from the computer to the back of the set. That'll give you picture. For sound you'll need a Y-cable (stereo mini to RCA) from the headphone or line out jack to the audio in on the TV.

You might have to enable something in your display properties but it's probably plug & play. Turn off computer make connections and then restart computer.

Thanks again. I have a network choice on my BD player menu, and it's connected to the same modem as my computer, but when I choose it it comes back not found. My computer is 35+ feet away from the tv, but I've been planning on getting cabling that long anyway for off and on use, to burn LPs

I'm a LOT more comfortable with analog technology than digital lol.

Got a laptop? You could just sit it next to the TV. If you have wireless capability on the router you could just use that or, if not, get a really long ethernet cable.

I've got my wireless modem next to my tv, with the BD player hard wired to it, and my computer running wirelessly. I can stream Netflix etc with no problem so I know it works. I know I should be able to get them to communicate but all I succeed in doing is driving myself crazy.

Are you watching Netflix on the computer or are you connected to the TV?
