at my house we have really fast sky conection and freeview but a really crappy internet online signal, i have a mbp 2011 and thunderbolt and i would love it if i didnt have to buy another screen just to watch tv on, and the thunderbolt display does not have a digital tv cable. does anyone know if there is a way to do it, not too fussed if it costs a fair bit. regards, lewis. |

2. If you do go to Safari and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and hit enter 3.enter admin as the username and sky as the password 4. About two thirds of the way down the page under the Modem heading they'll be a number next to downstream connection speed. What is it?
