Actually, until a couple of weeks ago, I lived in Queens, NY, and I can
tell you that there are far more than just a couple of satellite dishes
around. It turns out that some of Queens is now getting cable, although
parts of it and the other boroughs may not get it for another few years.

On another topic, stereo on cable TV. I always thought that MTV and VH-1
were sent in MTS Stereo. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be getting it,
either thru the cable box or directly into my cable-ready TV. A couple
of the other cable stations seem to fade in and out of stereo (mostly out).
Is this likely to be the local cable company, or the individual stations?
The regular TV stations here that broadcast in stereo come in fine, so I
sort of doubt it's the cable company (Cablevision LI).

Thanks,
