    This question has been asked way too many times.

    If you don't live in Houston, THIS HAS NEVER AFFECTED YOU

    It was the same during FSSW, CSN, and will continue to be under RSW.

    You have to have nba league pass, and you will get to watch the rockets games without an issue.

    I understood why people didn't want to deal with Comcast.

    But if Dish is the only major provider to not carry this channel, why would any fan of the Astros/Rockets even consider sticking with Dish ?

    Nice. The guy at that link suggests they could add Southland conference football. That would be nice.

    Nope... only thing left is for them to re-locate the studio to Dallas, and then the new (but worse) FSSW will be complete.

    But its better than no games.

    Thanks!!! I was hoping that was the case. It is ridiculous all the other NBA TV games have been blacked out the last two year for those of us in the Rockets territory.
