Well, NASA Select is a service that is (can) be provided to lcoal cable
companies.  If you are currently a cable TV subscriber and are not sure
if you get NASA Select, you might try calling your cable company.  In
the DC area (DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland), NASA Select is carried
on channel 40 by Media General Cable.  Usuallt it just shows a blue and
black screen, with the logo "NASA SELECT" and the date and time.
However, when there is activity, such as the recent FRF and SRB test
firings, and missions, the coverage is LIVE and via more camera angles
then the networks show you.  In fact, it seems that the networks get
most (not all) of their camera angles from NASA Select.
