Mix channels live on DTV Stream

I think it comes down to whether they can provide the local NBC station.

If you get NBC already in your locals you should get the mix also.

The mixes are fixed video streams with an interactive overlay that swiches between the audio tracks, so a separate one has to be created for each market. So far they've only created local (ABC/CBS/FOX/NBC), weekend sports (CBS/FOX/ESPN/FS1) and Olympic mixes (NBC/USA/CNBC) for the 29 markets listed earlier in the thread. That 30th one with the national NBC stream ended up being just for Tampa, Austin TX and Columbus OH where MySports customers get the national NBC stream instead of their Nexstar owned affiliate.

There's no obvious reason why they started with those 29 markets and skipped some larger markets. i.e. Philly doesn't have one even though their Big 4 are all O&Os like NYC, LA, Chicago and San Francisco. Boston (Hearst ABC, CBS O&O, Cox FOX, NBC O&O) was also skipped, even though other Hearst and Cox markets have mixes.

A March Madness Mix with CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV will be available for streaming customers on channel 243 in those 29 markets with a local mix. During the Sweet 16 it will become a 2-box mix with CBS and TBS

The 4-box mixes are repurposing the Olympic mixes, the 2-box mixes are repurposing the Weekend Sports mixes

I wish they would have fit the League Sports Mix in the 210's somewhere since it's all by itself now.
