I was under the impression that I could see many 'out of market' games at the expense of not getting the YES Network by signing up for Dish. I'm from Boston but live in Central NJ. I would like to watch some Red Sox games, especially since I see they carry NESN. Unless the game is on ESPN, I am unable to see any Sox games. And now I can't even see the Sox when they play the Yanks! Do they think NJ is in New England? I called 3 separate times and got the same canned answer each time - "some games are blacked out". Yay! Thanks for the help. While on the phone with each person, I pointed out several games that were NOT in my area that I could not get as well. Minnesota vs. Kansas City. Houston vs. Texas. Why would those games be blacked out? I have Dish 500 and 180 channels. One guy mentioned "somebody in my area probably bought the rights to those games". I would love to know who this mystery person is that buys every MLB game. If this situation does not change, I'm cancelling after my 1 year is up. My wife was skeptical when I told her Dish was better than Cable. She may be right.
