    Lol. Good luck, it barely extends across Houston.

    I really hope Direct TV picks up the station soon also.

    If you want DirecTV to pick up 51, you better get on the horn with them (DirecTV) and give 'em hell. Apparently that's what got Dish to come around.

    I called Channel 51 myself to double-check on this and talked to the guy who was doing the paperwork. He said the lawyers have just finished signing everything and they are now under contract with Dish Network. He said he had been referring irate customers to the satellite providers to pick them up and lo and behold...

    This guy couldn't confirm when the channel would be added (and Dish wouldn't even confirm if it was being added) but he expected w/in the next couple of weeks since they have a contract now. Man, I hope so -- I hate not being able to record/pause/replay like I can do with everything else on my satellite system.

    Also, r-fan is right... you need a second dish, but it's free and they'll install it free too. I'm getting mine installed Thursday!!

    Thanks for the "heads up" r-fan!!

    That is too sick and disturbing to be funny.

    I get channel 51 just fine on my tv. I like 51 because if I miss some of the game I get to watch it again at midnight.
