Well technically my computer is wireless, but we get internet from Optimum provided by Cablevision. Do you have a modem and router in your house, or are you just seeing which wireless networks are around you? If you are getting cable internet from a company you would just select the company you are using. It should work without buying cable TV as long as you're getting internet from a provider.

Yeah, I just read that they may make a minor profit this year with the games.
But you can see the difference of how nations run television. BBC is paid by the public, USA networks aren't. I'm just grateful I don't have to pay for screwed up TV executive decisions. But at the same time I have to deal with stupid mistakes done for maximum profit.
