No, nothing like that. He normally used a plastic spoon for this bit where he pretends like he's eating brains (which is yogurt), and at the end of the bit, Matt (Setzer) will pull the spoon out of his mouth quickly. Well Ogre got the bright idea that he'd use a metal spoon one night, and when Matt pulled it out of his mouth, he took (I believe) 4 teeth with it. Ogre drove to an ex-girlfriend's place who was a dentist (or knew a dentist, I can't remember) the next day and ended up losing all of the teeth. Not sure if he got a bridge or went full on Shane MacGowan.


The ironic part: he probably had to eat a lot of yogurt after that kind of injury.

No offense, but you sound like Spanish to me.. I'm not the most computer literate.. I'm over 40 and grew up on tape multi track.. any chance you can say that like I'm slow?
And as to me having two of them.. I bought the plug ins on a different wifi service in a different house six months ago, way before I bought this mpc.. I don't know if there is any correlation.. or if the live would work now either..
Do how do I put the router DNS IP in it or whatever? It is Xfinity router we use for Internet and alarm and cable.. we got the whole package.. I'm not sure if that matters..

dns, domain name server. helps resolve a hostname as well as resolve urls upon request. Its the very bottom entry in your network addressing. ip, subnet, gateway, dns iirc. (check to be sure). anyways shit hole isp's and data theiving who-res like google run these servers.... without then you'd need to navigate the internet by ip rather than url or "domain name". If you want to request through google, try inserting 8.8.8.8 as the dns. or 8.8.4.4 both are common. Also.. i think this was mentioned else where just recently.

I have 2 registered X’s and 1 registered Keys61.

All using the exact same registered account and have had zero problems downloading plug-ins on them.

I will try putting that in the DNS part, is that what you mean? Do I still have it on automatic or manual? Can I still have wifi on? The x doesn't have a Ethernet port.

That is good for you.. I wish mine worked as well.

You can try the google dns on wifi also, 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
Have you tried a preferences reset?
Have you tried different firmware versions?
I’ve skipped thru the thread, haven’t read each and every post.
