    While I sympathize with you, I did hate having to watch the game last night and having the camera pan to annoying Spurs fans everytime they did something good.

    I noticed that too last night on Comcast 637. We had Bill Worell and Matt Bullard of course but they were definitely using the Spurs camera's or something lol

    Oh ****ing bull****. I'm sick of this ****. They're going to switch to showing Mavs games in the middle of the mother****ing season? Those ****ing assholes. This is such bull****.
    **** you Suddenlink. I ****ing hate Suddenlink. Those pieces of ****ing ****. Suddenlink is the ****tiest cable service, by far the worst, that I have ever experienced. What kind of ****ing morons decide to switch teams in the middle of the ******* NBA season? **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink, **** you Suddenlink!

    So, I'm on the phone with Suddenlink right now, and it sounds like they don't have the slightest idea what's going on - they say it's a 'network issue' meaning that the problem is actually with Fox Sports.

    And the 'management' told me that there's nothing they can do about it right now.

    Thanks for the link.

    I encourage EVERYONE who is having this issue to call Suddenlink and talk to them about it. You'll have to keep pressing '0' because there isn't a good menu option on the automated system.

    877-794-2724

    Call them! The operator I spoke to said I wasn't the only one - well, maybe we can get them to actually do something. Call them!

    Also: Here are the two email addresses buried in the Fox Sports websites:

    FSHouston.feedback@fox.com
    foxsportshou@foxsports.com

    I have sent emails to both of them concerning this matter.

    Here is the number for local Fox Sports: 972-868-1800

    You will have to leave a general voice mail, so press 2 and tell them!

    This is bull****.

    Sadly my digital cable guide once again says dal vs cle and NOT the Rockets game.

    I have emailed twice. Going to call today. Seriously disappointing if this continues the rest of the season, watching on a choppy online feed is terrible.

    This just makes no sense.

    All day today, channel 25 was FSN Houston. All day. They advertised the Rockets game a number of times. Then, as soon as the Mavericks pre-game starts, the channel suddenly changes to FSN Southwest.

    Fox Sports obviously has no respect for their viewers. None. Suddenlink is even worse.

    Alright, currently my Suddenlink channel 25 is broadcasting commercials for tonight's Houston Rockets game.

    I haven't heard from any of the people I contacted. I will contact them again if I have to.

    Let's see if Suddenlink channel 25, after spending all day being Fox Sports Houston, will suddenly and magically transform into the Dallas Mavericks channel as soon as the Mavs pre-game starts. That has happened for the past three games now.

    Suddenlink, it is your responsibility to fix this. And, if you can't fix it, you should at least be able to explain it. Until then, Suddenlink cable is the worst cable company in the United States.

    No dallas game tonight, mine says the Rockets will be on. As for future days when they both play, we can only hope.

    yeah, we know. The problem is that we've been watching Houston Games on Channel 25 for the past 4 years. Then, suddenly, in midseason, Suddenlink cable (the worst cable company in the United States) stops playing Rockets games and starts playing Mavericks games instead.

    It's not that we don't know we can watch games on the internet, it's that we've always been able to watch them on our TV and now, suddenly and with no explanation, we can't.

    So, both the Mavs and the Rockets are playing tonight. The Mavs game starts one hour earlier.

    Let's see if Suddenlink cable, the worst cable company in the United States, does the same thing they did the previous three times - all day today, channel 25 has been Fox Sports Houston, they have advertised the Rockets game tonight .... will they, suddenly and without explanation, magically transform into Fox Sports Southwest when the Mavericks game starts?
