    HDTV in Phoenix

    Every so often I'll switch over to the antenna on my HD television to see what's being broadcast in HD. Right about the time that the Olympics started, I decided to see if I could pick up the HD signal. That's when I noticed that it seems that the local NBC affiliate, KPNX isn't coming in on my set. I also noticed that the two local PBS digital channels had disappeared. Has anyone else in the Phoenix area noticed this or is it just me? I contacted KPNX and they said they are still broadcasting their HD signal. I am picking up quite a few other channels and I am pretty close to the antennas on South Mountain, so I can't imagine I am having a problem with a "weak" signal.

    Alternatives to DSL and Cable Internet Access

    I live in the Phoenix area (Chandler to be exact) and currently use COX High Speed Internet. I am basically happy with it, but I have been wondering what my alternatives are. There are a lot of limitations with COX, no access to external SMTP servers, very limited upstream speeds, just to name a couple. I see that SpeedChoice (Sprint) isn't taking any new customers. Besides Qwest DSL (yuck!) what are my choices?
