And this year, you’re running the show with your own Fourth of July party and wanting to make sure it goes without a hitch. As long as you have that trifecta, you think, how could anything go wrong?

Whether you’re having a kid-free dinner date or are all out on summer vacation, here are some tools that can help protect your home. (Keep in mind that some of these tools will require high-speed internet.)

So, what exactly is family wellness? Think of those definitions, but instead for a unit. It’s about building strong relationships with your family and supporting one another. Sure, part of that includes family time, along with diet and exercise, but it doesn’t end there!

How do I compose a new message?

When you log into your email, on the left side of your screen, you will see a Mail tab. Below that, you’ll see “New Message.” Click this and a new message will come up. Compose away! You can also save your message as a draft and check spelling. If you click on Options, you can make your email a high priority or request a read receipt.

What the channel guide shows.

Once you hit the Guide button on your remote, the default Guide will appear which may say “My Channels.”  This indicates all the channels you have in the package you subscribe to.  If you subscribe to HD channels, you can view only these by selecting the down arrow next to My Channels and select “My HD Channels.”
