    Excuse my ignorance since this is my first season living in Austin, but I thought the Astros were the local team in Austin?

    I flipped over to FSN expecting to catch the game and I'm getting the Rangers. Do they alternate? Or am I just screwed?

    N/M, just realized the game doesn't start for another hour.

    :eek:

    But how do they handle this normally?

    Of the 162 games, you'll probably get somewhere around 130-140 of them on TV in Austin, between FSN and a couple of other random stations that change every year, it seems. Tonight's game is on FSN and ESPN2, though I'm not sure if it will blacked out on the latter.

    You can catch a lot of the Astros games on ch 77 (Time Warner).

    I have Dish Network and they offer alternate channels for FSSW. Last night, the Rangers, Astros, and Rockets were all on Fox Sports at the same time and I was able to flip between all three.

    What can I say, I love baseball and I've been without it for 5 months. :D And King Felix was pitching against the Rangers.
