    Harrys Law

    Not sure I liked it. Agree with the soap box comment, and can't wait to see if we are going pick on Limbaugh and other conservatives regularly. I smell a Palin segment coming...

    FCC seeking to close programming access loophole

    Agreed. There is a certain monopolistic arrogance about cable companies. Comcast is at the top of the list. They act like a utility instead of a business.

    FCC seeking to close programming access loophole

    Hopefully your prediction comes true. Another poster somewhere pointed out his statement doesn't explain why Dish can't get CSN Philly either.

    NCIS

    For some reason my wife likes this show. Some of the characters I don't care for, like Abby, but Ziva makes up for her. Just wish they let her hair down more. ;)

    Can You Negotiate Price At HH Gregg?

    Found a 32" Panasonic online at some off beat NYC store. They had it $140 cheaper then HH Gregg. Went to look at it at Gregg just because no one else carried it our area and I wanted to see its picture. I had a copy of the website price, the salesman took it to the manager, they came back and...

    Random Olympic Hockey Notes

    I really liked Emrick when he broadcast for the Flyers. Now he does the Evil Empire New Jersey Devils, and he misses a lot of obvious non-calls against Philly. :D

    Random Olympic Hockey Notes

    $79.00 I had it for two years, then decided Versus was showing the Flyers every week anyway, plus I get two local clubs. I thought I'd be ok. Of course, the Versus thing blew that out of the water. I look at the point standing and see an interesting end of season. I love the open skating of...

    Random Olympic Hockey Notes

    I didn't realize how much I missed hockey until the Olympics. So, I had sign up for the rest of the NHL season on Center Ice. I was really trying to go a year without it.

    DIRECTV Applauds FCC Closure of 'Terrestrial Loophole'

    I know...someday. I'll keep my eyes open this summer for cheap flights. In the mean time, I use MLB EI & the occasional trip to Miami to see my Phils. So CSN Philly would be a huge addition.

    DIRECTV Applauds FCC Closure of 'Terrestrial Loophole'

    Thanks for clearing that up. That does make me feel better that it's a domino game. I spent many a wonderful days/nights at the Vet. Never been to the new place. Eskin used to work with my friend at Channel 29. I always valued his opinion/comments because I knew he had real sources.

    DIRECTV Applauds FCC Closure of 'Terrestrial Loophole'

    Yeah, I've heard plenty of Eskin and the whole gang at WIP over the years. That's why I'm interested in all this. I can see the Philly teams here in FL on the packages, but would love being able to get the pre & post games for all, including the Eagles, and Daily News Live. And Eskin does get...

    DIRECTV Applauds FCC Closure of 'Terrestrial Loophole'

    Huh? I'm not smart enough to know what that means. Anyone? I've been waiting for this movement for a long time, so I'm hungry for info.

    DIRECTV Applauds FCC Closure of 'Terrestrial Loophole'

    Exactly. There is no law that says they can't provide their signal. If it looks, walks & smells like a monopoly, it probably is a monopoly who is inferior to other providers. They basically are saying they cannot compete on a level field.

    Why is EI cheaper from cable?

    I really enjoy this feature. Getting to hear the different announcers and see local commercials from those regions adds to the whole wonderful MLBEI experience. Cables version of EI for me was poor picture quality and a short list of games. Add the sports pack for pre & post game shows, baseball...

    Professional baseball in south Florida last chance...

    Well, we're close to Cape Canaveral - how 'bout "The Satellites"? "Spacemen"? Or to recognize our theme parks - "The Thanks for coming now leave your wallet Guys"?

    SCHILLING RETIRES FROM BASEBALL

    As a Phillies fan, I loved him taking the hill for us, and I can tell he is a good guy. But baseball wise, his constant thinking out loud backed some people into a corner. I'm happy for him. Great career. May make a good analyst.

    SCHILLING RETIRES FROM BASEBALL

    Big game pitcher. However, a great quote from Ed Wade, his former general manager with the Phillies, once saying Schilling was ''a horse every fifth day and a horse's ass the other four."

    Rays will now have all games on Fox Sports FL/Sun Sports

    From the Marlins website (below) Nothing from the Rays, who still show OTA broadcast partners on their site. FSN Florida The regional TV home of the Florida Marlins, is producing 75 Marlins games in high-definition (HD) this season – 66 HD games are scheduled for FSN Florida and...

    Professional baseball in south Florida last chance...

    I'd love to have them here in Orlando. I always felt Orlando could draw from the tourists (high traffic theory) as we get tons of folks from NL cities anyways. Put up a retractable roof park and you have a stable base of visiting fans until you grow your Orlando market. We keep talking here...

    Monk

    I thought that episode was a scream last week. All the effort to get him to the door step only to find no one answering the door. :p

    Adding additional receivers?

    You may want to check out the AAA offer. If you are not a member, it might be worthwhile. They were giving a break on some equipment and $10 off a month for 24 months.

    NFL Sunday Ticket Poll

    It's a steal! My Eagles in Florida and the option of watching the games I want, instead of who's playing the Bucs or Jags. Sunday is my day of rest, the whole family enjoys the spread I put out, they put on their Eagles garb, and we basically tailgate the whole day. Except I'm the only watching...

    NFL Sunday Ticket Poll

    Eagles fan in Florida. I loved my first season of NFLSTSF, and it will be back next year as well as MLBEISF. (Center Ice as well) These are the reasons I have D*.

    Longtime cable customer thinking about switching to DirecTV...

    I'm not the person to answer those questions, I'll just say getting D* was a great move for me. I've always had cable and wasn't sure about switching. I wish I had done it years ago. I had Brighthouse and was tired of not being able to have the opportunity to get the channels I wanted. I have 5...
