NASA TV is the best. It's available on the NASA website or on TV (govt. access channel on mine). Only problem with is that it's not in HD.

Docking with ISS is at 5:12pm EST today. Less than an hour away.

It's on TV, but only for certain markets. I used to get it, but unfortunately when NASA went to digital they decided to no longer support my type of satellite receiver.

Oh yeah forgot about that,

Sounds alot better when their talking, ive watched 2 launches and one I missed so I watched the recap on NASA and it sounds alot better and actually is almost like your their with all the discussions.

Although sometimes I dont hear voices for 5 minutes but thats after launch and landing.  ::) ;D

Space Shuttle Discovery undocked from the ISS today at 3:53pm EST, performed its flyaround, and performed its separation burn. Discovery is set to land on Saturday.

See a current picture of the station:
