    Dammit! I guess I'll finally have to finally upgrade my television. I'll miss watching the games on UHF 20.

    you should get fox sports with just basic cable and not some special package

    the channel formerly known as UPN20 doesn't broadcast here in college station so i love that i get to see all the games on foxsports houston

    Man, I hate how theres not much games on FREE TV anymore! Not everyone has cable, and I'm almost sure more people have regular TV than cable. Times are hard and paying for extra channels might not be everyones priorities. TC is so empty because a lot of the financially lower class people can't even follow the team anymore. But what do the Rockets care about the lower class working man?

    Are you basing this statement on what you see in the preseason? Because to date, they have sold more tickets for this season than in the last couple of years.

    And we have a full house pretty much every night. The club seats being "empty" is another issue... But those tickets are sold...

    Uh....I don't think so.

    Anyway, I'm glad they're not showing many games on 20. That's the only local channel in Houston that doesn't do HD.

    In Houston I think the number is less than 25% of the population is without cable tv at this point.

    Stop complaining, get ATT U-Verse or something. Get with the times, everyone has cable tv pretty much.

    I got more important things to spend money on. I don't see a point in spending 50 a month when the only thing I want to watch on Cable TV is Rocket games. So yes, I will complain just like everyone else does when they don't like something.

    U-Verse is sweet. Hell of a lot cheaper than comcast.
