Default Re: Is MLB Extra Innings screwing up for anyone?

After doing some research on my own, it appears you are correct. This is actually the first year I ordered Extra Innings, normally I just use online updates. Never had this problem with NFL Sunday Ticket.

"FOX NETWORK BLACKOUT INFORMATION: For every Saturday of the regular season, the FOX Television Network has the exclusive national rights to broadcast games up until 7:00pm ET (4:00pm PT). So, while you will not receive Major League Baseball games on your MLB EXTRA INNINGS channels any of those Saturday mornings or afternoons, you will receive the available Saturday night games that begin after 7:00pm ET (4:00pm PT). For Saturday morning and afternoon games, check out the FOX Network local schedule."

So basically, FOX chooses ONE game to broadcast, so all other games one day a week you're unavailable to watch during the afternoon on a subscription you pay $250 total for. Ridiculous. The dumbass DTV employee wasn't even aware of this.
