Indeed it is summer, my radar agrees! 
Yeah, looks like Tampa has been bombarded all evening. Saw a Heavy Thunderstorm report on the HD LF for Tampa earlier.
Speaking of the HD LF, does anyone know if it's possible to subscribe to Dish or DirecTV and only pay for the HD channels? I'm starting to think I may want to do that once the [HD] STAR rolls out, so I can still catch narrationless clips of songs. I would have to pay for it myself, of course.
Don't you have the HD channels already on your Comcast lineup? If you do, then I don't see a need to subscribe to another provider and please DO NOT subscribe to satellite if you do not have any wish to. It'll be a utter waste when the storms roll in and knock the signal out or if you have a lot of trees in your neighborhood, blocking the signal.
