    It's Free NFL Sunday Ticket Time Again!

    No, I ended up paying last year (for the first time in a couple of years)

    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.

    New XM Lineup

    Feh. XMRO crashed; XMFan crashed. I've still got a half-hour of work or so to go. I guess I'll see the carnage when I get to the car....

    XM MERGER IS A DONE DEAL!!!

    This just crossed my desk (and yes, I've posted it on 11Alive.com already and sent out my breaking news alerts) http://www.11alive.com/news/local/st...119082&catid=8 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal regulators formally approved the merger of the nation's only two satellite radio operators...

    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...

    Did we always have 622 (YES) and 625 (SNYH) in HD?? (Sports Pack)

    I have them in SD, not HD -- no RSNs in HD in Atlanta -- yet.

    Bull. FNC HD does not exist yet; and HBO2 HD will not exist until sometime in calendar 2008. Try it again. :down

    Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

    Try it again -- considering NewsCorp owns multiple satellite platforms around the world (Foxtel, Sky, et.al.), I would dare say that reports of Murdoch "not liking" satellite would be erroneous. I know he did have issues with the internal mechanics of DirecTV, but he definitely is not someone...

    Will new national HD go live on 9/12/07???

    I can't do a view signal strength right now because of a "scheduled signal test" set for 9:01 a.m.; whatever that means..... Are we there yet?

    'Torchwood'

    "Torchwood" is a lot of fun, albeit in a different vein than "Who." Hopefully, this spells a shot at more offshore content, especially considering that The Beeb, Sky and the other networks in the UK do a LOT of HD content. I'd love to see Life on Mars and Spooks. Add to that some decent content...

    Big Ten Channel Active

    There is a slate with a countdown timer at this point (6:39:40 and counting); there is music in the background, which I'm pretty sure is the fight songs from the teams in the conference (I don't recall them all, so I can't confirm)...

    WGN included on Direct TV HD list?

    It's WPCH, and they'll be calling themselves "Peachtree TV." Best example of what they're trying to do is to think of what Turner South was, and make it a local station.

    CBS East/West SD

    I'm grandfathered on NY/LA SD networks, but was told by D* when I ordered my HD box last week that since I will get the Atlanta HD locals, I won't qualify for the HD signals from NY/LA. I have this morbid fear that I'll lose the NY/LA SD stations, but looking at the HD stations here on rabbit...

    Regional Sports Network Atlanta Braves

    Senoia is in Coweta County, which is in the Atlanta DMA (Coweta borders Atlanta's home county, Fulton County, on the southwest); by definition, he should be able to receive those games. I live in southern Cobb County (which borders Fulton on the west and northwest - matter of fact, I'm about a...
