Well it figures.I just went to the channel to view it and I'm blacked out.I didn't know I was in the territory for either city for I live within the Phillies territory.Any reason why I'm blacked out?
I walked outside, set up the ladder, climbed to the roof and hugged my DISH. This is the greatest day. And the Yankees and Red Sox right now.

Excellent work Dish! IMO the biggest hole in Dish's channel lineup, for me, has been taken care of now.
It is but blacked out in ny as expected. But this is a good channel for baseball fans.
