    Well, League Pass is going to black it out because the Spurs are in Austin's market.

    And I checked cable listings for KNVA 12, KVC 13, KBEJ 23 and Fox Sports Southwest, and saw nothing.

    This sucks. :(

    Are you saying that among League Pass, FSSW, & WB54 the game won't be shown in Austin? I also live in Austin and don't recall ever not seeing a Rockets vs Spurs game. This would be a first for me.

    I don't think they blackout anymore. Haven't had that problem this year.

    The game is being shown on Fox Sports net in SA.

    Freak, do you have DTV League Pass or INDEMAND League Pass?I have the latter, and spurs games have been blacked out all year.

    I have League Pass and don't recall ever missing a Rockets or Spurs game. My guess is TheFreak has League Pass, also.

    I used to live in austin and the two knowns in pro sports is the spurs and the cowboys. I used to get pumped for the advertisment of the rockets game and then they would show the spurs. This was in like 1990-1996 before dtv. They used to have a sport bar that showed rockets games, but i forgot the name of it. If you have dtv and league pass, the game will be on a channel somewhere.

    I have DTV....I thought League Pass was League Pass though?

    I only watch the Rockets, not the Spurs....but I can't remember the last time a Spurs/Rockets game was blacked out for me. It hasn't happened this year.

    The Spurs-Sonics game yesterday was not on FSSW here due to the Astros game, but it magically appeared on League Pass w/ Seattle announcers. I'm guessing the same will happen tonight if the Spurs aren't on FSSW.

    I'm 65% sure tonight's game will be on KNVA 54 (12). The game is being televised by KRRT not Fox SW in SA. If not check League Pass. If not, call in for your credit. I ain't paying for this **** up :D

    I've seen every Rox game in Austin on League Pass, or somewhere. The only games I've missed have been because of the wife (not always a bad thing;) ), or the kids. It'll be on.

    Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name,
    And they're always glad you came.

    I know of a place that will have it on. :D

    I have not missed a game this year. Hopefully, someone will pick it up.

    It was not listed in the paper today as a game on TV.

    The problem is that the game was originally slated to be a TNT game at 8pm, and now has moved back to 7:30pm after TNT dropped it.

    This might not have allowed other stations to pick it up in time.

    It is AT Houston so would not be subject to blackout laws unless a local TV station picked it up, and since none have, I am expecting it to be on NBA league pass 913 tonight at 7:30pm.

    Yep,

    No game....I just got off the phone after a semi heated conversation with Time Warner. Basically, NO Spurs games will be on the league pass....even though we don't care about the Spurs, we get caught in the crossfire.....no Austin station picked it up after TBS dropped it.

    What is it they say? ... S.O.L.
