    It's Free NFL Sunday Ticket Time Again!

    The authorization channel shows I'm "good to go" but no email - last I checked my account, it shows I'm being charged. I guess a call is in order.

    What to do with a portable receiver in a car I bought?

    When XM had their big realignment over the summer, they moved the Clear Channel-owned channels around, so XM 165 moved to XM 168 (which is where Coast is). Coast airs the last couple of hours of the prior night at 10p ET, it runs live 1a to 5a ET, and immediately rebroadcasts from 5a to 9a ET.

    Dumb Question About D* TV Guide

    The DirecTV online TV listings includes two local stations that we do not see on our systems here (Metro Atlanta) -- WBRC & WVTM (Fox & NBC Birmingham respectively). Is that something that I should be looking for on the air soon?

    Special Test Channels 9300 and 9301: Tonight!!! 9/22/2007 at 10pm PT

    I got the distinct impression that they made the decision to have the test at the last minute. When I initially heard about it, it was only going to be a 30 min. test on one channel, then two, then the three hour test it ultimately became -- and all of this within the last hour or so before it...
