    Sports Pack

    ADVERTS 1
    Does anyone have the sports pack that cost like $5 or $6? I see it lists all the Fox Sports Channels across the country, do you get all of those channels or just the one in your area?

    I sure would like to have 20 different fox sports channels, I'd basically have NHL Center Ice and the NBA Full Court packages for $70 some odd dollars a year instead of hundreds of dollars for each. Granted I wouldn't get all of the games you get with those packages, but I'd be willing to be that you'd get about 80% of those games. Not bad for 1/4th the cost.

    Like Rolltide said, you'd get all those channels, but all PRO sports are blacked out unfortunately.

    most of them are transmitting the same programming at the same time anyway. When you do get a actual sporting event more than likely they will be blacked out

    Any pro game that isnt in your area will be blacked out

    Basically the regional sports package is good for
    small college football games
    college basketball games (the ones that wouldnt be in ESPN Full Court)
    college hockey
    college baseball
    outdoors shows
    pro wrestling

    I use to subscribe to it just for ECW wrestling (RIP old friend)
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    also carries coaches shows, some NFL pregame & post game shows, coverage of pro sports after the blackout period, ( mostly baseball with extra innings, rain delays, etc.), and some of the Fox sports nets still have a local nightly highlight show.

    I still subscribe, it's $5.99/mo. Still has enough value for me at that price.
