DirecTV cannot be that stupid, there has to be some sort of contract language that prohibits this. However, can MLB really think the wave of TV watching is the Internet? We want our HD broadcasts on our 42" TVs. I'd honestly rather subscribe to the TalibanTV network and get my Extra Innings package if I have to. (this of course assumes my plan to get Cleveland service in Chicago doesn't work)<BR/><BR/>I also don't understand why nobody talks about the fairness factor, with the national vs. regional networks.<BR/><BR/>Of course, my problem is probably that I forget these owners just want to get fat and happy. They don't care about their clubs or their fans, just their wallets.<BR/><BR/>Damn you baseball, I wish I could quit you!!!Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-19942308955395553422007-02-09T17:35:00.000-05:002007-02-09T17:35:00.000-05:00Another DirecTV piece, with a new twist...<A HREF="http://biz.yahoo.com/indie/070209/620_id.html?.v=1" REL="nofollow">Another DirecTV piece, with a new twist...</A>t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-53062486888804964872007-02-09T13:20:00.000-05:002007-02-09T13:20:00.000-05:00Could you imagine having Gammons as your Uncle?
