    http://www.thefirstrow.eu/ already has a link up for it, so it should be available.

    Also: **** the Houston Rockets media team, **** Comcast, and **** Suddenlink. I want to watch this game on my ******* TV.

    They put a link up for every game, whether a stream comes available or not.

    DISH doesn't have AMC, LHN and now I can't watch Rockets games even though I pay more for their sports package which is supposed to contain regional sports.

    Time to move on...

    I'm sure that there is plenty of blame to go around, but most has to fall on the Rockets/Astros/Comcast. I'm sure that a lot of this is Comcast jacking the price up right now trying to get people to switch providers right now, but once the season is about to start there will be a deal made with all of the carriers.

    LHN all over again.

    I'm going to be patient with Uverse for now

    Does the CSN have a local station it plays the game on? I remember at the end of last year, they were on channel 20.

    In case you guys don't know, CSN is working on getting other cable and satellite providers to carry the channel. You can go to http://www.iwantcsnhouston.com/ so they can notify your provider to carry the channel.

    Really interesting to see where people place the blame. The Rockets and Comcast are not shy about telling fans what they need to do to get the channel ... I'll be curious to see if an official with UVerse, DirecTV, etc. will come out and comment on how they view the holdup.

    YES----F COMCAST AND F THE ROCKETS FOR SELLING THEM EXCLUSIVE BROADCASTING RIGHTS!!!!
    COMCAST NOW HAS THE RIGHT TO DEMAND WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY HAD THE MONEY TO THROW AT THE ROCKETS.
    NOW COMCAST AND THE ROCKETS WANT YOU TO DEMAND THAT YOUR PROVIDER PAY UP TO CARRY CSN.......Complete BS!!!

    Go sell your low demand product somewhere else. I will always catch every Rocket game I can, but they are pushing for us to sell CSN to their competition.

    Just fix the Blackout Rules for League Pass and I'll pay for my subscription,
    otherwise, the money I save will be spent catching the games at the bar or at Toyota Center.

    I don't get why they are marketing this move as something that is 'a way of the future'.

    Is TV really the way of the future?

    Teams owning their own sports channel is the way of the future.
