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.

could fly out of monroe, little rock, shreveport, etc.
oaklawn is two hours away, fair ground 5-6 hours.

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...
