    Direct TV customers, lets all get help in order to have Direct TV to include CSN network to our fans. lets all try and get our service to show our rockets games on direct tv. its not fair that our provider will not show our games.

    Not DTV's fault. I bet the Rockets are demanding a ton for CSN because Les is counting on the value of Lin and Royce White. He is betting that DTV will succumb to the power of the Asiam community and the mental health community.

    step 1: Ditch DTV
    step 2: Get Comcast cable
    step 3: watch the Rockets


    I wish all problems were this easy.

    I remember going thru something similar with Dish not showing the rox preseason games due to some fee issue a few yrs back - it's always the satellite providers that screw things up. Not saying comcast is perfect, but f dish and dtv.

    I don't plan on staying with them when my contract ends if they don't give me Rockets games for free. That's really the only thing I watch on a consistent basis...even though I only watch the second half/4th quarter.

    Texans games are on local channels.

    If you get NBA League Pass with directv, can you watch the Rockets then?

    DirecTV is the best Cable TV provider on the market.

    Well it technically will but the local teams (in this case, the Rockets) games would be blacked out from league pass.

    I might be mistaken, but I saw a channel in the 600's (forget the exact ch #) that shows "comcast sportsnet" same exact logo ---- is this an error on the guide?

    Houston isn't the only city with a CSN. DirecTV has added a few through the years

    So as of now, Comcast is the only carrier with the new channel right? If so then something will HAVE to give. Most people aren't going to switch to Comcast just to watch the games, including me.

    Sports bars and avid fans usually have Direct TV to carry NFL games. Dish has the lowest prices out there. Most people just aren't going to switch.

    Someone will cave, because currently... Everyone is losing.
