I would like to hear from anyone (Via Email) who has used, or currently 
uses the X-Press X-Change news service that is offered via satellite or 
via Cable TV. I got a letter from my cable company recently stating that 
they were going to start carrying it, and that I have the option of 
subscribing to it. Apparently it is a modem-like device which hooks to 
the cable line, and then connects via a serial port to the computer. 
Software is then loaded and certain keywords are specified. When news 
articles with these keywords come through, they are saved. 
 
 Does anyone use this? Is it worthwhile? Is it expensive?
  
 Please send mail...
