Lots of stuff bouncing around up there... There are some shows you can watch days before they air on their regular channels, you can see reporters before they "go live", a ton of crazy international stuff, some live events commercial-free, raw news footage, numerous odd little channels not available on Dish/DirectTV or our local cable, audio services, etc. I'm using a 4DTV receiver (it recieves subscribable digital channels along with the traditional C-Band frequencies) and I have an MPEG FTA (free to air) reciever slaved to that which picks up another whole band of digital frquencies using the same dish (10'). Cable type stuff is mostly scrambled so I subscribe to the news channels, the entertainment channels I actually watch and movie channels using the 4DTV (you can buy channels ala carte). The FTA receiver doesn't have a subcription module, so you can watch anything on it that is not scrambled (which is a majority of those frquencies). There are no providers that sell programming for MPEG in the US (actually, there
are a few niche channels, mostly ethnic, that offer their own MPEG recievers equipped with a module to unscramble their channels). At one point I had over 2000 channels stored between my 2 receivers. Online satellite forums and charts help me keep up with what's bouncing around freely up there

Coming along great!
My friend who lost his apartment in Biloxi has been alternating staying with me and his sisters in Jackson MS. By the time he left going back to Jackson yesterday he had helped me finish gutting the rest of my place and moving stuff I wasn't able to do by myself. It's a nice clean slate all ready to go for floor ripping. I had a washer delivered the other day. The nearest laundries are totally destroyed and if my friend hadn't made a laundry trip the other night I'd probably be sitting here in dirty clothes still waiting for one of 2 family members to have the time to take me there and back
I'm trying to find a car. It's a little difficult when you have little way to go shopping and at least half the city is buying cars all at once
