My 15-year-old TV is finally dying�rapidly. It�s a 32� JVC, so I figure I need to replace it with a 40� widescreen. Suggestions ? - MojaveMeg Nov 3, 20:42 4
- Something from Samsung. Or get a Vizio at Costco. Affordable and pretty good. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 21:33

        Their rules, which they are quoting me, say one account per player. Not one account her IP address - Mr. Havens Nov 3, 21:06 3
        
        my buddy has the same problem. we're expecting the same thing to happen eventually. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 21:08 2
        
        It's just bad customer service. Ban enough husbands and wives/boyfriends and girlfriends/roommates and you're not going to have any players left -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 3, 21:14 1
        
        not to mention the fact that the looming outage of ip addresses means that many more people will resort to using NAT/home routers -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 21:37
