8/26    I'm looking for satellite or cable provider for mandarin language
        programs.  Taiwanese or HK programs in mandarin to be precise.
        What's a good provider?  Thanks.

        \_ I think directv has a few stations.
           \_ directv does NOT have any chinese channels (except possibly
              through local channels that may exist in your area. -uctt
              \_ Phoenix TV via DIRECTV:

9/22    I want to buy a small (15 inch or so) LCD television to use mostly
        as a TV in my bedroom and/or outside on my covered patio. It has
        to be able to receive HDTV (digital) signals over the air when
        regular NTSC stops in 2009 (it will not have cable or satellite TV
        connected to it but I am willing to buy a small "rabbit ear" type

12/6    Those that have Dish network, how does their one receiver two
        turner thing work? I mean the RG6 cable goes to the receiver,
        but how does the receiver hookup to the 2 TV (which may be far
        away, and A/V cable doesn't run very far). Are they using regular
        antenna cable for TV and ask you to use channel 3? That would suck
        for picture quality.
