FACEBOOK GROUP: Fox 25 for Blacked-out Verizon FIOS Customers
Boston Globe writes, Fee dispute leaves FIOS customers in Mass. without Fox 25, but doesn't link to the Facebook group that they mention in the story.
Wellesley resident Cimarron Buser, who launched a Facebook page for people who lost service, urged them to complain to the Federal Communications Commission. He and others suggested ways to work around the blackout. One idea: Hook up a high-definition TV antenna and tune into the station’s broadcast for free.
“I’m not sure who is to blame for this, but clearly two large media companies . . . are fighting it out,” Buser said in an e-mail. “The consumer is the pawn in the game.”

Massachusetts Health Connector: BROWSE PLANS ANONYMOUSLY
The Massachusetts Health Connector let's you browse plans anonymously.
Be careful entering your birthday.
Be careful entering your birthday.
Once you start typing, the MM/YYYY prompt goes away, so if you type MM/DD/YYYY instead , and get an error, you won't know why.
'Browse our plans' page asks for Date of Birth as MM/YYYY and NOT MM/DD/YYYY.
'Browse our plans' page asks for Date of Birth as MM/YYYY and NOT MM/DD/YYYY.
Date of Birth field label needs 'MM/YYYY' too.
Or, my preferred solution, change the field to accept, MM/DD/YYYY.
Massachusetts Health Connector: FIND A DOCTOR
Massachusetts Health Connector goes Live, November 15, 2014 at 8:00 AM.
NOTE: The URL is http://www.mahealthconnector.org, not .com
Shopping for Plans
When shopping for plans, the Massachusetts Health Connector site WILL NOT let you enter in your doctor to see which plan s/he is in.
You'll need to visit each plan site to see if your doctor is a member of that plan.
Available plans:
FIND A DOCTOR
That's 15 plans!
Oh wait, that's 16 plans!
The DENTAL and MEDICAL plans are mixed together here. Would be better to separate DENTAL to make it easier to search.
Also, some plans are for BUSINESS ONLY. I've noted that below.
Each link to a plan goes to an intermediate page. From there you click through to the plan's SEARCH page.
I've provided direct links to PLAN SEARCH PAGES here, and put DENTAL plans at the bottom.

when you are selecting a plan, it is very important that you check that your doctor is in that plan’s network (a network is the group of providers that participate with a certain health plan).
You will find links to health plan websites on the Health Connector website.
Be sure to visit the “find a doctor” tool (Provider Search) on these websites before enrolling in a plan to ensure that your doctor will be available to you.

MA Health Connector Promotes New Website With Broken Link
MA Health Connector tweeted out a broken link yesterday to the new Health Connector website.
I told them on twitter.
It's still broken.
They need to be listening on Social Media.
If they aren't listening now, they aren't going to be listening Saturday, when the site opens up at 8 AM.
That's not right.

I Hardwired my TiVo and Let it Choose DHCP Address
I had a problem connecting my TiVo Series 3 to my home network.
Error: No DHCP connection.
It might have something to do with the power going out here for 12 hours.
I tried a lot of things and ended up unplugging EVERYTHING, and then physically connecting the TiVo to the Xfinity modem via a hub. I removed an intermediate WiFi device.
It worked.
Hard cable connection to a hub:
