DISH Network
will have a live feed to the Democratic Convention on channel 211.
Came across this just flipping through channels.
Kind of a nice thing for them to do IMO.

2. Wow!
Thanks for the heads up!

(I'm having the Spring/Fall solar interference (conjunction) problem now. It seems early this year. Hope it doesn't get worse during the convention. It effects most of the cable channels, and when I checked 211 just now, it went out for several minutes then came back. Now it's gone again.)

3. Nice!

Very cool of them indeed. I wonder if DirecTV (which I have) will do the same. Anyone know?

10. I think that's mine as well.
I'm going to record the convention on C-Span so I don't have to listen to the blabbering mouths.

5. I noticed that last night on the guide but had already logged off of
my computer for the night. I was going to post that news this morning. It will be great to have a whole channel of gavel-to-gavel without the talking heads who will seek to hide anything significant from the public.

7. CSPAN usually covers the conventions
live and without all the annoying commentary by the M$M. It's one of the nicer things they do, IMO.

8. It will be interesting to compare it to the C-Span feed...
Edited on Thu Aug-21-08 01:09 PM by tokenlib
I was surprised to see it a separate channel on the list as well.
