The Pirates-Braves game last night was blacked out for some reason here via MLB EI. I am near Philly (and not in the Pirate's TV territory) and normally get the Pirates games via FSN Pittsburgh, but the Pens were on FSN last night. I would assume the game on MLB EI was on the Brave's feed, but it said the game was not available in my area. No local stations carry Pirates games.
Anyone else in PA have this problem? I wonder if it was just a D* mess up. I wasn't that mad about it (as I don't follow either team), but I just was flipping around seeing the various game scores and saw it was blacked out. It tried to find the game on another channel, but couldn't. I just want to get what I am paying for.
The game wasn't on ESPN or ESPN2, and regardless, ESPN doesn't typically have national rights for weeknight games anyway.
