    Guys I need your help.......

    I'm a cable guy and looking to "upgrade" to satellite later this summer.

    Now out of 82 games, I will miss 3 to 4 games a season and I need a company that's reliable with broadcasting the games. I heard Direct TV will sometimes show regional sports events instead of the Rockets game at times....if this happens to me, I might go out and set things on fire. lol

    So any suggestions for me? Who would be the best and most reliable?

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure where you heard that from, I've never once missed a Rockets game on DirecTV. Every game that shows up on cable will show up on both DirecTV and Dish Network.

    The NBA package on Direct tv will provide every regular season Rocket game that is not shown on a national channel (TNT, ESPN, Networks, etc.)

    However, it seems like about 80% of the time they will show the feed with the other team's announcers. If you ever b**** about the Rocket's announcers, you really should listen to what other people in the leaguge have to put up with.
