I just paid for the monthly suscription...

Before calling up and engaging in lengthy conversations with a CS agent that just give a jack....Id rather ask here....

The San Francisco GIant game, the Yankee game and the rangers game are all blacked out for the US?

Is this correct?

What game can I watch from that list?

I've yet to see a game so Im not sure if something is not right or if indeed these games are blacked out...


thanks.

I had it last year. All games on Saturday morn. and aft. are blacked out because FOX has the national rights. I believe the night games , if there are any , are not blacked out.

I'm in RI and only the Red Sox games are blacked out. Tonight for example I have the Cleveland, Dodgers, San Diego, Seattle, Florida, Oakland and Arizona games with no black outs.

That's not true. I live in Europe and never had a game blacked out. She should of never used the term "everywhere in the world".

I watched the Atlanta game earlier and currently watching the Texas game.

Thanks

I told her I was in Costa Rica, she even had the nerve to say, you could be in Nicaragua,

I said ohhh, so then its not only the places you mention on the website, its the entire world and she said yes....the entire world....

Capn, no, she seemed very bitter......

So what the heck is up, should it work, should it not?

It works in England. I've watched two games today with no problems.

Same thing for Extra innings pay-per-view package. Just be thankful that there are lots of night games tonight. Most Saturdays you hardly get any selection at all.

Slim,

be thankful you aren't here in Vegas. They black out ALL games involving Cali teams and Arizona. We are considered the local market for D'backs, Padres, Dodgers, Angels, A's, AND Giants. That is a travesty in my eyes.

I never did like the Saturday blackout rule, but I guess if you paid as much money as Fox did for the rights to broadcast those games, you get to have the whole country to yourself.
