Root Sports Houston to make Rockets debut on Monday (11/17/2014)

So, if I have Comcast,do I no longer get rockets games?

 

Anyone know if it will be available on TWC(time warner cable) and even more so in my area the rio grande valley

 

Read the article, nvm

 

Not likely till they merge with Comcast... and even then, not likely to ever be available in the RGV outside of league pass.

 

According to Nba.com's LP page, some zip codes in RGV come up as Spurs and Rockets home territory.

 

And yet that is still too much!

 

Will I be able so see it with dish?

 

It won't be blackout big timer. You will be able to see this game on NBATV.

 

That's cool and all that the majority of the city will get to see the games, but I'm really gonna miss CSN.

 

Dish doesn't have my locals here in NY, MSG, SNY and YES, so no Knicks, Nets, Yankees, and Mets.

I know nothing about ROOT sports, but hopefully it's good enough, cause H-Town deserves to see the rockets and astros.

I have DirecTV. I had Dish, changed when they dropped SNY and MSG, kinda ridiculous when one of the top markets in the Nation doesn't have the local RSN's.

I don't care what people say, Dish is only cheaper by a few bucks now. When I had them I paid the same I pay with DirecTV, without HD. I get free upgrades every 2 yrs, NFLST, NBALP, etc... Dish is garbage to me. I will never go back to them.

As for Comcast, not in my area, we are dominated by Time Warner Cable. I hope once the DirecTV/AT&T merger goes through, they get U-Verse here, cause I am sick of my internet.

But on topic, glad everyone(most everyone) will see the Rockets starting Monday.

I'll open it up anyone wanting to switch to DirecTV, message me, I will give my customer ID, get $100 bucks off each.

Anyway, great start, lets get them tonight in Mexico City. GO ROCKETS!!!!!

 

No. Dish has no plans to add the channel.

 

For those of you that are disappointed about all this because you had access to Comcast and 95% of Rockets fans didn't. I have one thing to say to you. ***** you snobby selfish bastards. Today is a great day to be a Rockets fan. Thank you directv and good riddance Comcast Sports network.

 

You know, its perfectly fine to have both opinions without being an ass.

 

No, it will be down here in the RGV on direct tv. The Rockets games were shown down here on FOX Sports(Mostly home games) when the Rockets became affiliated with the Vipers. This year on NBA League Pass when the games were on the free week preview all of the Rockets games on NBAtv and League Pass were blacked out for the RGV. That means RGV is considered regional to Houston like SA Spurs are also considered regional to the RGV and you can see all the Spurs games still on Fox Sports. Can't wait for Monday.

 

My Houston Rockets are not garbage.

 

Go watch p*rn. This leila rahema chick isn't worth the rockets not being on tv

 

Anybody got any ideas on how to get out of the dish contract i have a year and a half left on?

 

Correct, it's what I said earlier.

 

I have a ballstreams.com acct and league pass. Bottom line is watching games on a TV feed rather than an online stream is a million times more crisp and never locks up. League Pass > Ballstreams

 

Just get League Pass. Problem solved, unless they consider Rio Grande Valley to be a Rockets viewing area because of the Vipers. If so then I'd consider getting Directv.
