    idk about ESPNU in HD, but I'd pay more money to get 24 hour RSN's in HD

    Illinois House Bill 5440

    I wouldn't be surprised either, however they'll have a LOT of negative advertising if they do, before I left EIU for Christmas Break the Champaign/Springfield stations were airing ads non-stop about the bill all in the negative for it.

    Illinois House Bill 5440

    Living in IL I can assure you the Satellite Lobby is fighting this bill hard! although frankly, this bill has been tried at least 3 times, and until they force Cable to service EVERY address in the state this bill will never pass through the State house.... reason being, too many downstate...

    Looks Like Lin is back!

    LOL I love this, when they pulled wthi at 2AM ET they claimed 140% increase, now it's 175%.... Something smells fishy here to me, and right now it isn't LIN

    Terre Haute "locals"

    And here's one for the what the heck is directv thinking department.. Ok so when they launched the TH locals I thought, OK since they don't give us the St Louis Locals (even though Dish Network does), or the Evansville locals, they'd give us the Terre Haute Locals..... WRONG! I checked the...

    Another possible dispute? : Dish v. Belo

    I for one think it is totally stupid for local broadcasters that they charge cable companies to show their signal, when that in most places you can get the station over the air (except here in Flora, IL where we are in a DTV dead zone from all surrounding markets for OTA) for the insanely low...

    DIRECTV to Offer Local Channels in 172 Markets

    First I ever heard of someone being asked to BUY an external market local... Although honestly IMO if your in Indiana just get an antenna and point it at Indianapolis... unless your in Sullivan or TH it self you should be able to get an antenna that can pick up the Indy Stations, with it what...
