    I have YES network but no yankee games???

    The CSR was correct. MLB games, like NBA, NHL, and MLS games are blacked out on regional sports networks outside of the team's territory. To see those games, you would need to buy the league's premium package. that's they way it is for everybody. Only those in the Yankee's region, NY, NJ, CT...

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV
