Rangers VS Rays Fox Sports UHD, Channel 106

Any idea why I would be blacked out to this game on channel 106? I'm in Arizona, I sub to MLB Extra Innings and it's not airing on a local network or sports affiliate.

When I tune to the UHD channel it has me tune to where the game is in the MLB EI channels (736 I think) and I am able to view the game in HD. If I get the game in HD through MLB EI fine you would think that I would be able to get the UHD version on 106 just fine as well.

This doesn't make sense.

Upcoming Events in 4K had this listed with (RSN), so I'm guessing that it was in-market only (which, yes, is stupid for 4k).

Why MLB EI would have been blacked out is likely just incompetence.

You only get national coverage of sports events in 4K if you get the source channel in your package. i.e. if the game is MLBN coverage, you must get MLBN, if the game is FS1, you must get FS1. MLBEI has nothing to do with it. Do you have a package with the source channel? If so, then it is just a basic screw up on DirecTV's part, if not, that is your answer.

Yes, it shouldn't matter if it's on the RSN or not. If you sub to the out of market sports package it's supposed to open up like as if you lived in the local market. That's the point of having the package. It just seemed asinine that you wouldn't be able to get the game in 4K when one subs to MLB EI and has access to that programming outside of 4K. I'm sure that if MLB.TV carried the game in 4K I would be able to see it there with no issues as these problems never seem to crop up with MLB.TV.

So yes, The game wasn't on a national channel like FS1 or MLBN, ect. It was a broadcast on a local RSN, which is not my local RSN, but I do get it via the package I sub to. So I have the premier package with all of the sports packages. IE: MLBEI, NHLCI, NFLST, NBA, ect.

In this case having MLBEI would have something to do with it as MLBEI is supposed to get you the out of market games and is supposed to open it up like as if you lived in the market. If you get the game with MLBEI you should get the 4K version without any issues. It's assinine to be blocking out subs who pay extra to get out of market games.

Stupid 4k blackouts - it's really devaluing the service...

I can watch *one* 4K baseball game in August, due to Red Sox / Yankees being involved in other ones. It's madness - the relative handful of people moving from the RSNs to the national feed means nothing.

Blacked out again for this afternoon's game. I just submitted another escalation. If I am not blacked out of the HD Version because I sub to the appropriate packages IE: Premier with MLBEI, you would think that I would be able to get this game in 4K without any blackout. The 4K blackouts are worse than the HD ones. You would think it would be the same across the board. Picture format SHOULD NOT matter. If you get it in HD you should get it in 4K or SD as well.

Not only is it devaluing the service but it's confusing people including CSR's. It shouldn't be this hard.

I have the same issue living in the NY market. In tonight's case, MLB Network is showing the game on the normal HD 213 channel, but is also responsible for the 4K production on 106. Us in the NY market are forced to YES network and blacked out of 106 and 213 to protect ad revenue.

Wondering if it's worth an agonizing call to their clueless support to see if this can be lifted. Did you ever make any progress with your escalation? Another 4K game tonight that I will most likely be blacked out of because I'm in the NY market.

Am I the only one that hates what Dish did to their mobile app?

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

NCIS

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Trailer for new Jim Caviezel movie Ghost Soldier

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

Project Hail Mary

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!

Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

Started watching Undercover Boss again

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
