This page seems to have the highest resolution NASA feed on the web:
This is what I use.

We use the NASA channel on our ATV repeater using Dish Network. The unit we use has a card, but no subscription and does work that way (channel 213).
However, we either have a problem with our receiver, or DishNet's software likes to give us problems because there is no subscription - the unit works for about two days and goes back to "aquiring signal" or will be found on their promo channel 101. That means we have to go back to the repeater site and choose channel 213 again.
It is also available with Direct TV without subscription, I am told.

I would love to be able to watch NASA Select from my shack again. Back when it was on analog C band I used to keep an eye on it during ISS passes. Now I believe it has moved to an MPEG 2 K band transponder. Does anyone here catch the downlink using "FTA" (Free to air) equipment? If so, I'd appreciate if you could contact me directly and let me know what kind of equipment is required, or any suggestions. The dish and feed don't bother me, it's the MPEG-2 receiver that I'm unfamiliar with. (And, yes, I know the commercial satellite TV carriers have it, but that would cost money :) )
