Our next meeting will be at Lake Miona Rec Center on Friday, Aug 23, 2019 at 1 pm. "The title of our scheduled presentation is “Cutting The Cord - TV Over The Internet”.
As cable TV bills continue to increase, consumers are increasingly turning to over the air or streaming TV options as cost-effective alternatives. Moreover, the number of streaming TV services has increased dramatically with new ones being added weekly to the point where choosing the appropriate service can be confusing and time-consuming.
Joe Kennedy, in his talk titled “Cutting the Cord” will review the possibilities for streaming TV and provide guidance as to what different services have to offer. The possibility of using an antenna for TV reception in The Villages will also be covered.
If you are considering switching from cable TV to a streaming TV service or using an antenna for TV reception, Joe’s talk will be an excellent resource – be sure to come to Lake Miona, August 23th at 1 pm.
Our regular meetings are held Fridays at 1 pm. At various rec centers. The schedule is found later in this email.
If you have a Windows 7 or newer desktop or laptop PC that no longer works or runs so poorly that it is unusable please donate it to the Villages Computer Club (VCC). Bring it to our next meeting at the Lake Miona recreation center on Friday before 1:00 pm. In the last 12 years the VCC refurbishing group has refurbished and donated to needy groups and individuals approximately 3,000 PCs. This is MUCH better than having your PC wind up in a dump. PLEASE, ONLY Windows 7 or higher desktop; laptop PCs and flat screen monitors that are 19” or larger can be accepted. We can not accept donations of printers or any other peripheral devices. Thank you for your generosity.
Our meetings consist of a presentation of about 50 minutes or so, a break with refreshments, a 50/50 drawing, and a door prize drawing followed by a problem-solving session (questions submitted in advance taken first and then general questions will be taken from the floor). Our website is:
The VILLAGES COMPUTER CLUB Inc. - Home.
Problem Solving: Before the meeting starts our Gurus are at a table at the back of the room to help you articulate your questions – They will fill out the question form. Then they will research your problem during the presentation and answer the question after the break. So, if you have a computer question please bring it to the table in the back of the room between 12:30 and 1 PM on Fridays
