What are ya'all talking about? The Rockets vs Spurs in on DirecTV channel 643 (RSNA) and League Pass channel 723. (I'm in Austin and never miss a Rocks game...I love League Pass!). If this is a cable thing, I'm darn glad I don't use cable.
Yeah. Too bad the light at the end of the tunnel he led us to happened to be a train without a tv set.
MAN, those guys pissed me off. I was watching one of those subsidiaries of Fox Sports (FSC?) and the pre game was on, when they realized their err and cut over to the Mavs game that wasn't gonna start for another hour. I love Austin.
Here's my conversation: SM: Why is LP 913 blacked out when there is no broadcast or cable station carrying the game? TW: Sorry, its a Spurs home game. SM: No its not. It's at Compaq Center in Houston, Texas. TW: Well, the home team blacked out the game. SM: Can I get credit? TW: No sir. SM: What? I got LP for the Rockets. TW: Sorry. It's their fault not ours. We didn't black it out. They did. SM: When the NBA season ends you can cancel my subscription. Write that down. Thanks for your help.
One more thing. He got pissy with me and said something like the home team can black out a game at their request 150 miles from the arena. When did Austin become a Rockets market? F that. Another reason to hate San Antonio.
I'm shocked... no rockets . It's a plot, hatched by some fan of Mrs. Robinson & Dunkin' from deep in the bowels of Time-Warner.
