    Since we're having an election party and it's Mrs. rimrocker's birthday, I'm recording the game.

    It is on NBA TV...channel 435 on Time Warner, you have to pay like $2 a month extra to get the sport package, but that way you get those games.

    I will be flipping back and forth. I plan on watching the Rockets' game while it is on the DVR. During commercials and breaks I will be watching the election results. If something big is happening on the election result channels and I am late switching back to the game, I can rewind.

    Gotta watch the game. There's no guarantee the election will be called before the game's over, or even before midnight for that matter.

    It's going to be like CNN election central at the mc mark household.

    3 TVs, 6 laptops and 8 crazy Obama/Rocket supporters going nuts!

    the election won't be over when the game is over.

    If you don;t watch the biggest game of the year I really question why you are on a Rockets forum.

    I think some Fox Sports channels that show English Premier soccer etc....but not much.....still worth it for the 3 - 5 Rockets games on NBA TV a year.

    3rd game of the year is the biggest game of the year....I think you need some perspective.

    This election is far more important than the Rockets winning tonight...though I expect both Obama and Houston to come out on top.

    :D

    I'll probably watch the election on tv and find a stream online for the Rockets game.

    this is the 4th game of the year.

    This just shows you don't even watch games.

    Right. If one really wanted to watch Wolf Blitzer cream himself and rattle off a bunch of states, you could have just watched CNN the past couple of months. We only get to see Ron lock down Pierce a couple of times a year!

    right

    just what kind of transcendental election event do you expect to happen between the hours of 7:30 and 10:00 ? :confused:

    this should not even be a question here. (rimrocker's situation noted and understood ;)) Rockets game first, everything else after.

    I thought the dumb TNT vote thing had the Rockets and Celtics on tonight as a result?

    Primary focus on the game, but I'll be flipping back and forth during commercial breaks.
