    I guess comcast is offering CSN for free until the end of month.

    I saw this article in chronicle.

    http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2013/04/rockets-report-ibakas-strong-play-being-overlooked/

    San Antonio has nearly the same ratings as houston for the Thunder-Rockets game. 90+% of the city doesn't give a crap about the rockets. I think the CSN guys need to actually look at the numbers and stop living in lala land and agree to a much smaller deal.

    I'm not going to watch anything on CSN until they get the TV deal settled.

    these are downright pathetic ratings for a Playoff game. Does anyone know what the ratings were in 2009 in the first round? We can see if the low ratings are because of CSN or if it is just lack of interest.

    100,000 more people watch the average Yankees regular season on YES than watched the playoff game last night in Houston.

    CSN wants more per subscriber than YES.

    That's understandable. But for a broke person like me,i don't pass up free.

    From everything i have read, csn has great quality. And if it puts extra pressure to get a deal done, that's all the better for me...

    You don't get ESPN or TNT?
