Did anyone record the Yao Ming "Spotlight" show on FSN-Houston

[ballclub]

I missed the episode at 6:30pm tonight dedicated to Yao Ming's comeback. Did anyone watch it, and maybe can upload the video from it on to Youtube? Without the commercials, it should only take 2 uploads.

I checked the FSN Houston TV listings, and unfortunately, they aren't replaying it. But maybe they will if we all email them and ask for them to replay it. Their email address is foxsportshou@foxsports.com. Here's what I wrote to them. Feel free to use similar language...

I missed your Yao Ming "Spotlight" show that aired at 6:30pm tonight. I was wondering with all the air time you have if you can replay it? It's a shame for that show to air only one time. Maybe replace the Emory Ballard "Spotlight" show that airs 2pm tomorrow with the Yao Ming one? Or replay some other time?

Does anybody know what channel the Rockets insider come on Direct TV? I always get FSN Southwest, but it doesn't show the Houston sports stuff.

My guess is Fox Sports Houston - 678.

My guess is Fox Sports Houston - 678.

Thats the thing. That channel just shows a big Direct TV logo with music playing in the back ground, until its game time. Otherwise I have to watch the Southwest one, but all they cover is all the other Texas teams that I don't care about. Maybe I have to pay more or something.

You definitely have to pay more. I have the same issue with DirecTV where I have to order a special sports package to get the FoxSports Houston channel, which should be free IMHO if I already have ESPN.

I have DirecTV & here is how it works in DFW - when FSSW and FS Houston are airing the same programming, only FSSW is showing. When FSHouston is running Astros, Rockets Spotlights, FSHouston can usually be seen. You can watch all the Astro's games that are on FSH, but none of the Rockets games (NBA forces them to black out the actual games, but you can watch the pregame shows on FSH).

Basically, FSH is blacked out when its showing the same thing as FSSW (about 75% of the time), or when a Rockets game is on.

FSH can be seen during Astro's games and during Rockets pregame shows and Houston SportsBeat type shows.

Good news. FSN-Houston just emailed me back after I sent that email on the top of this thread, and they said they will replay the Yao Ming Spotlight show. We'll have to wait a few days to see the next episode, but better late than never.

Rockets2K, if you can still upload it to Youtube, that would be great. I don't think I can wait until November 1st. Here's the schedule they emailed me:

Monday, November 1st at 12 midnight
Friday, November 5th at 1:30am
Saturday, November 6th at 4:00pm
Sunday, November 7th at 5:00pm
Thursday, November 11 at 1:00am
Sunday, November 14th at 1:30pm

It's too bad the Rockets could not have gone back with the throwback logo and jerseys of Hakeem Rockets. Philadelphia did it so why not the Rockets as change to embark Yao's return. To sell jerseys. Most people, including the Asian American and Far East markets find the post 2002-2003 logo and jersey not as appealing as the previous but even that was ugly.

I know, thats what I'm been seeing for the past 2-3 years, but now I guess I have to pay more which I won't. Seeing the games is good enough for me.
