    Yea, I know what you mean.. Game will be coming on perfectly clear, and then all of a sudden wavy lines, etc. start coming on.

    Reception gets really bad for a while, but then comes back a little while later... BTW, where do you live., its prob in our location (guessing). I'm in Sugar Land.

    I have three TVs in the house. On one of them, its impossible to watch. You can barely even see the game. On another, watching the game is possible, but it feels like you are going to hell and back. And on the third TV, its perfect. Go figure.

    I have cable and I also get bad reciption for channel 51 (2 for me). I can see shadows of NBC whenever the screen gets dark, like during the introduction. Really annoying.

    Channel 51 comes in perfectly clear in my living room. I cant say the same for the t.v. in my room though. But I do enjoy watching the midnight encore if I miss the game when it comes on the first time.

    Yeah I live in Sugarland too, and the reception is horrible, but on one of my TV's its OK. Time Warner really needs to do something about this.

    If the Rockets didn't worry about saving a few bucks with each new TV contract and stick with ONE TV station, then people wouldn't complain about TV reception so much, and the Rockets might actually build a solid fan base....

    A few years ago, it was easy...home games on UPN, road games on FSSW. The world was in harmony. These days, they're on a new TV station on a weekly basis, it seems.

    Anybody remember THE TUBE? I wonder how much money the Rockets thought they could save by signing with that crappy station...
