    If the Rockets game is simultaneously shown on Channel 51 and and a national station, which do you watch?

    I find myself watching the national TV because I can hear Worrell and Murphy another game. Just want to hear others' preference.

    You like Walton? You are clearly delusional.

    Channel 51 sucks, esp on Time Warner.

    I cannot bear to watch Channel 51 with NBC shadows in the background.

    On Tuesday, I was watching the Miami game and I could sometimes hear in the background that r****ded NBC reality TV show where they eat cow brains.

    So I listen to the radio and dont watch the games as much.

    You're right. I totally agree with you. I love boring commentary as well.

    Can't get enough of the Bill Walton debate....Walton is AWESOME! I remember in the fourth quarter when Jim Jackson was 10/10 from the field, Walton goes, "Jim Jackson is making a run at Wilt Chamberlain's 18 for 18 from the field"...Classis Walton...

    Definitely have to go with the National coverage. Anything is better than Calvin's rambling on about his own scoring prowess or some random lady giving him cookies.

    Decoded NBATV and occasionaly RSNa (51) or National TV. DO you think your rates would go down if I quit decoding the Signal they Beam into my Back Yard? Just wondering.

    I watch it on 51 even though the picture quality is terrible. I prefer Bill and Calvin to any other announcing team, plus for some reason the game is about a second behind on the national TV broadcast.

    National television.

    Anything is better than Channel 51's quality.

    Better halftime features, better interviews, and better graphics.

    The ESPN game was like three seconds behind 51. I think because they bounce it off two satalites or something while 51 bounces off one? Just a theory, i am not right.
