Over-the-air games in Houston

by Adam J. Morris on May 15, 2006 7:17 PM CDT in News

Today's game is, according to the logos, etc. on the broadcast, being shown on KDFI channel 27.

However, DirecTV is showing the game on channel 667.

I had heard that DirecTV was working on a deal with FXSW to show the over-the-air games on their alternate feed...this, it appears, is the result.

Yay!

switching from my cable to direct tv. My parents have had it for a while and I have been hesitent to switch because I didnt want to miss any games. My cable is a little pricey and the channel selection is crappy. 150 channels and KI have like 10 tv guides. I pay around 90 for digital cable with dvr.

Austin Too

They've been doing this in Austin too (obviously) all year. The only thing that we don't always get is when the put the games on channel 4 in DFW, but usually that is played on a local Austin station (channel 2 I believe). This has made my year since before the season I was fretting over the ExtraInnings/MLB.tv blackout restrictions and didn't think I'd get to see but about half the games.

My DirecTV with DVR with local channels is like $50/month so I think it would be a good option cjbray.
