Can Someone Tell Me What Is Going On?
I discovered something last night that has me stumped.
I have two TVs in the house - both have been using a so-called Verizon set-top box to get TV programming via a wireless Verizon router The TVs are hardwired to the router via house coax, as is the router. My two PCs are cat5-connected to the same router even though the latter could work wireless (wireless showed to be slower). I also have a tablet and a laptop, both of which get internet wirelessly using same router. Having said all that - the other night I accidently disconnected my router's power, but did not know it (I was not using the web on my computers). While in that state, I watched TV several hours wth no problem. Then - I discovered the disconnect, and connected. Then, of course, my PCs had internet access, All ok. But then - I thought: How the H was I getting a TV signal? I repeated the power disconnect just to veriify things, and the same happened. I asked a friend, who lives 100 miles away, to try duplicating my fete, and he said he got no TV at all, which seems logical. Can anyone suggest how I am getting a TV signal? What don't I know? Maybe I can stop paying for Verizon TV? Thanks Sam |
