Subject: Re: upgrade bad
well it didn't fix it so I just reinstalled the tv computer and will not
update it again. Hey.... who's watching 'Warehouse 13"? The latest episode
is real good. Thanks for sharing with me about XBMC. I've always wanted to
watch episodes I haven't see of programs but wasn't able becaause I didn't
have the aability. Now I can watch whatever has ever been made! lol
