Oh, you are correct. As I mentioned earlier, I am not a tech support person for Slingbox and my son and husband set it up. I believe we connect through a wireless router on the home network. Sorry! Didn't mean to give you bad info. I just knew we didn't have a computer sitting beside the TV...

Okay, first of all, I am no expert technician or anything but here is a link about Slingbox. Sling Media - Slingbox I think it will answer your questions better than I can answer them. You do not connect to your computer at home to watch TV on your laptop in the truck. You will connect to...

We can pick up anything the TV at home can pick up. If you have Dish Network or Direct TV at home then you can watch anything just like you are at home. You can also add a Replay box and record your favorite shows to watch when you aren't running in the middle of the night. We debated about...

We are loving our slingbox! We are set up on an extra TV at our son's home in Richmond. We bring up a controller on the laptop screen (as though we are sitting in the living room) and scroll through the programs on TV. We really enjoyed it during the football season when we were sitting on...

We recently went through a Blue Beacon for a truck wash and decided to have them clean the lift gate while we were there. Our lift gate would not come down. In fact, it would not budge! My solution was to go purchase a sledge hammer but my husband is not a big fan of "sledge hammer...

Yes, Paul, will you please start a new thread and tell us about your SAT phone? We have checked with a couple of companies and they don't have them yet. Thanks! india

We aren't too far from you. We are in Dayton, OH and the wind chill is 10 degrees! Burrrrrrr! Nice and warm in the truck but the generator is running constantly to keep us warm.

Thanks for this information. I just requested a map for our truck. india

Oh my! I just did the cinnamon rolls yesterday. It is worth having the cooker just for those! The smell of fresh cinnamon rolls cooking in the truck is amazing! They were perfect. I love doing fried eggs in it and the omelets are great also. They turn out perfect every time. Someone...

I have found THE greatest cooker for the truck. It is called the Express 101. Here is a link to it: http://www.firstpagefitness.com/blog/2007/02/14/gt-xpress-101-cooker-and-express-way-to-make-healthy-meals/ I can't believe how perfect it is for the truck! It is very compact and cooks food...

Did you all read the article Jeff just posted about hearing loss? Wow! I'm so glad he took the time to research the subject and post the article. I think one of the things we should all add to our annual physical is a hearing test and eye test. We have hearing loss in my family and this was...

You know, Linda has a good point about the expense of the vitamins at Truck Stops. So many of the everyday things we purchase are much more expensive at a truck stop than, say, a Wal-Mart. I imagine, if you compare the ingredients of vitamins at Wal-Mart or CVS, you'll find you can get the...

Are you doing South Beach? That is the diet our doctor put us on and it includes a lot of fruit and veggies. Our doctor suggested we skip the first couple of weeks and do the regular diet. It seems healthy with all the veggies and fruit added and the bars are really convenient and good...

Linder, I LOVE your list! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have already sent the list to some friends. You almost have to have worked in a "hose and heels and business suit" situation to really appreciate our Expediting experience. But it is also the office atmosphere (the confrontations...

Okay, point taken! But you know, Greg has a point. That would be an awesome forum.:-) India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit "Talent is God-given; be thankful. Praise is man-given; be humble Conceit is self-given; be careful."

Linder, I joined also. I was really disappointed that they never responded to any correspondence. I think it might be because we are Expediters driving the smaller trucks. It seems to be another case where the big truck drivers don't really consider us truck drivers. I have found that most...

Has the EO team ever considered having a forum for Van drivers/owners? Seems like they would greatly benefit from having a place of their own to share information. They could still be a part of the regular forums but they could answer each other's questions and help each other with quick, easy...

RE: Florence Y Rich, does that include a Starbuck's Latte? That MIGHT be worth $50 to meet you all AND have a Latte! India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit "Talent is God-given; be thankful. Praise is man-given; be humble Conceit is self-given; be careful."

Good advice and a good reminder but I have to add what I saw the other day. The trooper had the car stopped and when the truck in front of us didn't pull over to the left, the trooper pointed to him and then to the side of the road where the car was stopped - indicating the truck was to pull...

Happy Birthday Cheri!! Hope it is the best one yet! Moot, how do you remember so much? Thanks for letting us know. India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit "Talent is God-given; be thankful. Praise is man-given; be humble Conceit is self-given; be careful."
