No you don't get ANY local team coverage. MLB EI is ONLY meant for out of market coverage. Like the others have already said, you will have to change to a package which includes your local rsn to get your local game coverage back.

This was apparently just a glitch. nothing has changed on the rules. Just like when the Red Wings were playing the Blues in the last week's time,I as usual was blacked out from FS DET had had to watch the game on FSMW( Im in Blues territory yet a Red Wings fan) So it sounds like you just got lucky

DTV is NOT stupid. They know what's really going on BUT they also have to keep themselves legally protected ( from the sports leagues and FCC regarding the locals etc) They really know what's going on. Its like a "don't ask, don't tell policy" As long as they are getting paid, DTV could really...

Yeah unlike when we used to subscribe to the rsn's on c band satellite and get the out of market games when NPS etc got the rights, on DTV you have to subscribe to one of the sportstickets ( MLB EI etc) to get the out of market games. Just subscribing to the rsn's won't get you out of market...

You sound like you DONT belong in this chat room. If you want to play "legal" and all that crap please EXIT this forum and go to DBSTALK.COM. This forum is OPEN unlike the other particularly when it comes to these subjects.

The reason Americans can't get Canadian programming and vis versa has to do with copyright licensing. I learned all about this back in the days of Cband satellite tv. For example back in the day even though the Canadian could pick up HBO ( even if he had the VideoCipher decoder) he couldnt...

That is DTV's fault for not paying no attention to what was going on. They will try to tell you it was MLB's fault but thats a bunch of bunk. They are the ones responsible for enforcing the blackouts and removing them.Somebody wasn't paying no attention obviously

The superstation package you mentioned ( WPIX,KTLA etc ) is one of the ONLY things DishNet has that Directv doesnt have. I sure wished they did! I used to get the same package on my cband system in the old days. On DTV they are only avail in their local areas as local channels.

Yeah that would perfectly explain why the DTV CSR's were more than willing to tell me that you could actually buy the boxes and even the prices on them ( since I was an already existing customer + even my old equipment at the time was owned ) But like I was talking to you about privately once +...

Excuse me but I do know because I talked and learned DIRECTLY from DTV on this issue!! I was not happy myself having to get in a contract. I was fully told the FULL price of all the boxes ( add $300 to the lease price) and thats what it cost and YES you are NOT stuck in a contract! The only...

Its like the cellphones I'ts just like how the cellphone carriers do it. You can FULLY buy a reciever/dvr ONLY thru DTV BUT the catch is you will pay big. For example a hddvr costs you 199 to lease and yet to fully buy it (499.00) when you fully buy the boxes then you dont have to get caught in...

You will need the SportsPak if you wish to watch any pre/post game show and YES you will need MLB EI to watch the games themselves. Trust me you will KNOW when you can order MLB EI LOL you'll see enough advertising

The status of a leased box never changes even after your COMMITTMENT is over. You never become owner of the box and therefore have NO right to sell what is not yours to someone else to add to THEIR account.If you have no intentions of keeping your account you will have to call DTV and close your...

If Im correct when you are talking the major metro cities, their spotbeams seem to be the ones that can reach the farthest when it comes to both SD and hdtv. I for example live just a little over 200 miles from STL in Il and can get both the SD and hdtv of the STL locals. I usually would say go...

What pisses me off is when Fs Det is showing a Pistons game they always make sure to have that game on hdtv BUT they do away with carrying the Red Wings games in hdtv. For some reason this year it doesnt seem like there is as many hdtv games avail this year. The SD transmissions usually look...
