I called dish on the technician line..This number gets me call centers here in the US....I used an Erie Zip code assuming the entire Erie area would be subject to the same blackouts...Used..Zip 16507......On the MLB package you would be blacked out of the Pirates and Indians games...Just to clarify, the road games would be included in the blackout as well . So the MLB Extra innings would NOT get you Indians games...Hopefully Dish will add the new service to their lineup and this point will be moot....
