how is bhn airing yankee games when they are suppose to be blacked out

[iceturkee]

i'm still curious for an answer here. those yankee games airing on yes (especially the early saturday afternoon games) are suppose to be blacked out per major league baseball's agreement with fox. only early afternoon games on saturday than can be broadcast are those in your local region. last time i checked we aren't anywhere near nyc. i have asked bhn employees to explain to me as maybe they were able to negotiate something in the contract. otherwise, you aren't suppose to get those games unless you sub to extra innings.

If thats any where near tampa...King George(Steinbrenner) owns several homes in the area

[iceturkee]

this is central florida. yes, i know george has tons of property in florida. but major league baseball sets the blackout rules not steinbrenner, unless he owns part of bhn because i;m sure he owns all or most of yes network.

I've been on the fence about getting the sports pack since they added more channels. After reading this, I just ordered it. I'll guess I'll find out in half an hour if they show the game on YES. If not, the extra sports channels in HD are still worth it.

I'll be damned! The guide shows something else, but I'm watching the Yanks game in wonderful HD!!

Well next time they give you the Mets or Rays games, and you can watch the real losers

I added the sports pack on Sunday morning. As soon as they stop showing the Yanks, I'll cancel the sports pack. For $3.99/month, I get to watch my team. I would have thought about getting the baseball package but BHN doesn't show the games in HD like Direct TV. I didn't want to pay almost $200 for a bunch of games not in HD. Between ESPN, MLBHD, Sunsports and all the others showing games in HD, I can't imagine paying for games that aren't. It's sooo hard to watch sports in standard def when you've been spoiled with hd.

understand but until bhn puts fs florida and sun sports on seperate hd channels, you aren't seeing all of the local games in hd. you mised a great cards - fish game last nite because bhn only showed rays - baltimore.
