    IS the game tonight really not being shown on channel 20? or was that a misprint? Are the Bulls so pitiful that 20 isnt going ot bother showing it?

    Tell me about it brother. After 4 years of free cable...my luck ran out. They disconnected me, or somehow figured out a way to prevent me from stealing the signal. Now all Ive got is local stations. Looks like Im hanging at the sports bar tonite!

    Rockets road games are still on UPN 20. Fox Sports Southwest is picking up the next two road games for some reason...it might be to make up for some home games that were broadcast by UPN 20.

    Rockets should return to UPN 20 Saturday night in Dallas.

    When the Rockets left channel 55 for 20 earlier this year, they knew that 20 had some contractual obligations that meant not all games could air on 20. As a result, a few games will appear on FSN this season and probably next.

    The main thing the Rockets wanted was a station that could air all or at least almost all of their shows. 39 couldn't do it which is why they left there for the Tube after last season.

    With the poor signal problems on the Tube, they had to go back to 20, which was the only station willing to take most of their home games.

    There have been some home games on UPN 20, so they have tried to balance it out.

    Yeah, I watched the Bulls game at my next door neighbor's house, but for a game like this one against the Bucks, I may hafta go out somewhere I can enjoy a wing & a pitcher ... if I can find a couple of buddies to drag along with me.
