HD Sports Package Question

[lacubs]

i just got HD from Directv and i have the NHL & MLB Packages, and i got a question, everyday i look at directv.com to see what games are in HD that night, and every night i turn on that channel and its black out. do you know why that is? thanks

Are you tuning into the MLB and NHL channels or the FSN ones. The channels that you will get should be in the 700 range.

I know with the NFL package the HD costs more. The feature there is called Superfan. You may want to re-check your package as it may not include the HD versions as those are an extra charge. At least that is how the NFL does it.

If it's the Rangers, Devils, Islanders or Sabres it's because the Dolans pulled the plug in MSG family of channels for HD outside of the local area for all games.

It shouldn't matter. The RSN channels will show the same feed. If you have EI, for example, you can tune to the 600's or the 700's to watch a game that they are broadcasting.
