    I am sure that this topic has been posted before, but seriously, enough is enough. The Rockets now have arguably the most marketable athlete in professional sports yet we still have to suffer through this ghetto-a$$ TV station. Can nothing be done? I mean, by now I am used to the static lines running through my screen and the occasional interruptions in the telecast for a completely blank screen, but doesn't the orginazation have some pride?

    lol...well we could switch to Fox Sports Net. They tried to offer to broadcast our games. It looks all right on WB. The thing I hated was the game in Atlanta......WHERE THE TV KEPT ON BOOING!!!

    Lol...well we have to live with it.

    Before 51 became available on Dishnetwork, I used an indoor AMPLIFIED antenna and got perfect reception.

    Key here is, amplified. A regular antenna is not strong enough.

    I have Time Warner and it's crystal clear. Actually, best reception I've had in a while.

    for a local station, they r doin a pretty good job, at least they will have the time for the post-game show, not like WB who can't give rockets any extra times. and as long as they will broadcast almost all the games in local station, i'm happy.
