i'm in the southeast corner-half hour from lousiana, not quite an hour to mississippi. it's actually a good place to live-i'm within a days drive from a lot of good places to visit.
but...pretty deep in the boondocks. as for tv, til we got dish, i got ONE channel thru the antenna. have dish for internet too, the only alternative is dial-up-no cable.

interesting... so what airport would you fly out of? i guess i've never thought about what it would be like to live in a rural airport. what is the closest racetrack- fair grounds?

well KNS will be in Chicago... I wonder if she reads Derbytrail or just looks up horsey porn on her wireless?

Dish network does not offer any local programming in my area, which is a problem for everyone else in the household not wanting to watch racing 24/7. Besides, my wife wouldnt let me watch 50 dollars worth of racing on my TV. I can watch as much as I want on my computer now for free.

Most sports bars around here do too. They installed the wi-fi to mainly cater to the fantasy football geeks, but it works well with horse racing too.

Would I pay $50 a month to not have to listen to the babbling on HRTV or TVG? I'd pay $500 a month...

DishNet sucks.

I am sort of pissed that this is going to go into effect in September, too, because I will hopefully be getting my ass out of Arizona in December. Can't wager online so the Twin Spires/TVG online viewing is out of the question, and I only have TVG right now through Comcast. I would have had to change apartments for a dish, but if this plan was an option I probably would have made the move...
