    CSN Houston offered it to all of the providers, as far as I know they haven't gotten a response. The last time they offered it, they all said no, I doubt it's any different this time.

    According to 610, DirecTV is not interested and Dish Network is only going to carry half of the games. No word on AT&T yet.

    Just because they are offering it doesn't mean the providers will accept.
    All major providers told CSN to suck it last time.

    Providers have to know and understand that there is demand for this.
    I don't know about DirecTV and Dish but if you have ATT UVerse (and even if you don't) go to the following site and fill out the survey!
    http://uversechannels.att.com/

    As mentioned before, this is how they determine demand.
    Calling them is a waste of time - the only thing they will do is fill out the same survey on your behalf.

    Again, go here and fill this out:
    http://uversechannels.att.com/

    Per Chron.com:

    Well, how many people really were eager to watch the Astros?

    I responded again, but I'm going call Uverse tomorrow and tell them they're going to have to do this or I'm gone.

    They still have to accept it. I have DiwreckedTV and it didn't accept the offer the last time.
    A lot of us were. :eek: Believe it, or not, sir.

    Astros set records in viewership lows so obviously not 'a lot of us'

    Apparently it was a relatively small lot. Maybe this big:

    That's because it was offered during the ASStros season and no one was interested in watching them. Things might be different now since people do want to watch the Rockets.

    Who is the single person to blame for this issue. Is Crane the major factor?
