Highly recommend the Ciardi translation, the notes are top notch and he keeps close to the terza rima scheme of the original.
Also has some nice diagrams for Dante's more elaborate constructions, especially in the Paradiso.

Sorry I really don't know much about media studies. I book that may fit is 'Television: Technology and Cultural Form' by Raymond Williams.
For a sociology/political take on communications try 'Communication Power' by Manuel Castells, it's a book that I like a great deal, but at the same time it isn't really pure communications theory.

I wanted to start with the Greeks but goddamned even reading the Iliad to get some cultural background is a slog. Are there any good audio books for the Greeks, and am I a pseud for using those on my commute instead of reading the books?

desiring machines are the source of libinal desires (compare to will). why machines? deleuze says that (1) this desire is inherent to matter and (2) that it's machinic in the sense that it has an input and an output. the machine is always plugged into another machine and always provides for another machine. desiring machines break down all the time, because that is how they function (think Lacan).

BwO is Deleuze's most important concept. think of this as rejection that hammer is FOR hammering nails. a hammer has an infinite amount of uses that aren't its intended purpose. BwO is an absolute rejection of prescribed purpose - freedom to approach/do in non stratified ways.

a schizo is essentially BwO - you are everything at once, not only is a=a, a=b, a=12, a=wednesday, a=queen of england, a=whatever you want. schizo rejects the identity he is told, he is everything he wants to be.

ugh, I was thinking about this the other day and figured it out, but failed to retain. he's a BwO, and the anus is the producion, the end of the flow. something about the production of BwO being intense and energetic like the sun? not sure. mby some other anon will help you out.
