I have the Total Choice package, DTV says it"s the same as the Choice Xtra just an old package that was a lower price. I live about halfway between SA and CC and get the CC feed. I don't have any sport packages and get every game thats not blocked by Fox or that MyFox channel, this is a few Sat. and Sun games. If it's broadcast in HD I get HD. They're are mostly broadcast on FSH, occasionally on FSSW and sometimes both. FSH shows all the Houston teams and a bunch of college sports. It doesn't show something 24/7, just sports events and music.

FYI the dish doesn't have to be mounted up in the air. I have one mounted on a tire rim that I use to travel. I have no problem with signal even up here in the Piney Woods. I can hide it behind a bush and no one knows its there, a whole lot less intrusive than an A/C unit.

I'm not a photshop guy, but how about the Goliad bloody arm flag . Replace the sword with a bat, and add a Astros and NL logo tattoo to the arm, with Come and Take It underneath.

I have the HTC Fuze/Touch Pro and my wife uses the HTC Tilt , both are with ATT. We went with the windows based smartphone because we had HP PDAs and the interface of the winmo is pretty much the same. If you're a windows fans they're great, they have word, excel, and power point. The wife uses the transcriber to take meeting notes and download to her laptop and edit. I use the excel for formulas and spread sheets in the field. As for as ATT coverage I haven't had much trouble and I work in remote oilfield locations. We looked at the Tilt 2 when they first came out and they are sweet. I think they have a slightly larger screen than Iphone, 32gig micro sd card capacity, you can tether using wifi and 3g, but have to get ATT's highest priced media plan. I use the gps alot and its pretty accurate, the mp3 player has great sound and interface, and the full keyboard is great and easy to use. Also there is a great web site at xda-developers.com and microsoft has started their marketplace app. store. As for as price you can get the Iphone cheaper, we are long time ATT customers and the best deal we could get was 199.00 and that was with mail in rebates and 100.00 trade in on her tilt (ATT's website has a list of phone they will take as trade ins). As far as HTC phones they are pretty rugged, if my wife can't tear one up in 3 yrs no one can.

I found AC when someone posted on the old (pre-MLB) Astro.com board, that Scott and HD were going at it and left a link. I've been reading the board almost daily ever since. I would like to say that it has been a fun and informative ride. Thanks to everyone involve with keeping it going.

Now I've posted at least once on every board!

PS What happened to spellcheck?

By the way. I'd like to thank you folks for doing the gamezone. I'm watching the games at work and dammit sometimes have to work and miss stuff on tv. Keep up the good work.
Go Astros!
