For the person who wanted to know what Dirctv channel NASAtv is on go to 376, however you need to have Directv Plus which requires you to have an oval dish and 2 LNBs so you can pick up the other satellite. If you just have a regular Dirctv service and a round dish you won't get it.

By the way I watched the whole thing live and it was fantastic! Am waiting for any pictures they my get back tonight through MGS. The earth has set at the landing site so the only communication now is through one or other of the orbiters now at Mars. Tomorrow around 8 am PST they should make direct contact and by 7 pm they should have the high gain antenna out. Then the pictures will start flooding in. Hope all this happens without problems.
