		<description>"Preferably the HDTV counterparts of the same stations:
104, 105, 106, 107, 113"

Actually, that's the channel assigned to them by your provider (Comcast?). Also KOMO, KING, and KIRO each have not one, but two HD channels. The HD channels are 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2, and 16.1. 

I also found this nifty link on the KOMO website that let's you figure out what channels are in HD based on your zipcode: http://www.checkhd.com</description>

		<description>I don't think I would mind paying alacart. Though current prices may seem a bit high, I think I would end up paying more this way. The packages are a way to keep the costs passed to the customer down, by buying in bulk. I wouldn't say that there isn't some kind of rediculous markup on it though. I'm sure they are making a huge piece of the pie.

What does concern me about this is a government agency possibly telling a business how they can or cannot operatet their product offering and price scale. No matter how big or how small the company, I think big brother ought to keep their geazy hands out of it.

Something tells me that theres more behind this push than whats on the surface. I wonder what kind of surcharges or tiny little fees would get passed to the gov't. What would the FCC gain by pushing this? Like I said, I think there's more to this than meets the eye.</description>

		<description>Yeah, we get more than one FSN but only watch the local FSN, Francisco. And yes, I do miss the Sunday Ticket on DirecTV and the Gametracker: http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20030907/246/ 

That's some of the best programming on the tube, too bad it costs even more $$$. Watching eight football games at one time, right on!</description>
