Help me out here, gang. The wife requests that everyone out there who has DirecTV please tell customer service that they want the Funimation channel added to their line-up. Believe me, if you're an anime fan, you want it too. She suspects that it may happen as they just moved Noggin from channel 298 to 301, freeing up a spot right after Cartton Network and Boomerang, but who knows? Help a sister out. You can e-mail DirecTV here: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageIF.jsp?assetId=P4560006
and you can e-mail Funimation here: http://webinfo.wilengroup.com/cablefax/getfun/
She would even get a Comcast box if they picked it up.
In a related story, some Orwellians have begun posting Orwell's diaries here: http://orwelldiaries.wordpress.com/
Having begun yesterday, they're posting each entry on its seventieth anniversary, so today we get August 10th, 1938. What's neat is that you don't just get the entry, you get a hyperlinked entry with editorial footnotes (therefore I had the fun of learning that Orwell's dog was named Marx). Very cool. I'm not an Orwell scholar but I do believe that he was one of the most important writers who ever lived, not just for the content of his work, but for the style. I've linked a couple of times on this blog to his magnificent essay, Politics and the English Language, and there, I've just done it again.

I don't have DirecTV but do have the Funimation Channel and would like to help.
I can tell you that The Funimation Channel have been airing promos for Mushi-Shi, BECK, Basilisk, Tsubasa and School Rumble; no dates were given just listed as 'Coming Soon'.
According to a fan report at this year's Funimation Industry panel at Sakura-Con (http://tiny.cc/XYyeX), Funi's Adam Sheehan told a story how the channel was able to be acquired in a small town.
Also, for those of you who ask about the Funimation Channel, you could also ask DirecTV how many people are needed with requests before they add a new channel.
Fantastic, thank you!
