I'm a Sox fan too! WGN and WCIU/OTA Sox games have never been in EI. When there is a WGN ball game televised, there is no other feed on EI either, as it would be on nationally on WGN. It would be nice if MLB.com/EI/MLBNet picks up these games, but again WGN has the 'national' rights.....
I would rather have the WGN weekend Sox game feed on FiOS than missing the weekday game on WCIU/opposing feed with EI.
As a Dish sub, I applaud Direct for taking a stand. Broadcasters demand way too much these days. If providers like Direct and Dish don't put up a fight, sat bills will be astronomical in a few years.
and you're one of them. I guess when you saw "channel dropped" you just assumed it was Dish and clicked on the thread
I find it kind of ironic as I watch NASCAR on my local Fox station OTA that D had a banner ad on the scoring stream but I can't watch the race in HD on DTV. (I could watch it in SD on NY 5 if desired!)

Remember your local is owned by a different company. That company agrees to broadcast the FOX network.
his local is owned by Tribune so thats why he can't see it in HD
He is in a area where they get the Big4 from NY as sig viewed but only in SD
I'm glad that none of my locals are owned by Tribune But the FCC, House of Representives, and the Senate needs to do something about this so-called 'retransmission-consent' issue. As I say You can't fight the FCC! Yes, I've saw the video on the retrans-consent hearing from 2010 when FOX's owners News Corp. and Cablevision testified about the broken system after their retransmission dispute in NYC and Philly areas two years ago that resulted customers missed the first two games of the 2010 World Series.

Yeah, he's still comparing SD to SD between different providers! Is that just plain wrong in the year 2012 or what?
Something to think about, and was mentioned in the first thread on this, is how Comcast is on the bandwagon.
Something people outside the Chicago area, Tribune's home, may not know is Tribune is very heavily tied to Comcast in the Chicago area. They even have extra programming that is exclusively on cable and produced by Comcast.
From my local viewpoint, this is nothing more than a money grab by Tribune for more than they're entitled to. Tribune the parent company is in very deep trouble, and all their local subsidiaries here have been falling apart slowly in trying to financially shore up Tribune's management.
