    I have directv, it shows the game as being on one of the alt. Foxsports(646) not the reg FSSW (643), but no pregame show at 7:00pm this has happened b4.... My question is does anyone else know if Directv people are getting the shaft or sometimes the pregame show doesnt air? Are reg cable people getting the pregame show tonight?

    Thanks,

    I have Direct TV also. When the game airs on 643 i get the pregame and postgame. When it airs on any alternate fox sports station i get neither. I'm not sure why its like that.

    I just place an order for dish, I choose the progam of american top 60 and a multy sports package. The american top 60 do not have FSNSW but the multy sports package include all the fox sports network. total cost me like 29.99 plus 5.99(multy sports package). so I think I can get FSNSW and watch the Rockets almost every game. It will install on Jan 1.

    who can tell me am I right or not.

    I have cable but if I want to see rockets game I have to get league pass(cost more then dish) and do not have all the rockets games. I live in New jersey.

    It will probably be blacked out since you live in New Jersey, you would have to get NBA League Pass

    You're lucky you don't get to see the pregame. Otherwise you would of had to watch Cynthia Cooper do The Robot.

    Thanks very much. I will call the dish network tomorrow and ask them again.

    D m , when I place the order they never tell me this. I ask them again and again and tell them again and again I just want to watch the Rockets game on FSNSW and I live in NJ.

    I have to go back to my digital cable and buy the league pass. ugh.

    I have dish and live near Philly. I do not get any Fox Sports channel regardless of which package I have.

    I called dish network this morning and ask them if the rockets game will be black out or not . they tell me I will be able to watch the rox's game on FSNSW but can not watch my local team. they just black out the local team's game.

    I will know after it installed on Jan 1. Wish I can get it.
