Since I have been reading so much about the Sunday Ticket blackouts, maybe someone can explain this one to me.
During hockey season my home team is the New York Rangers. Although I am not a Rangers fan, I do watch when they play the Maple Leafs and that seems to be where the rub occurs. Twice last season I tuned into MSG to find the game blacked out. I promptly called DTV to get an explanation. To make a long story short, they had no reason why I was blacked out. Before you say it, the game was not on any local channel either in my market or in New York. The local channel was MSG and I had watched the same two teams play two weeks before without a problem. Also, the game was not on ESPN in any form.
Now I understand that DTV doesn't make up the rules, but someone should be able to explain them to me when I call. Basically they told me there was no reason for the blackout, but they couldn't do anything for me. If I knew someone with Dish Network I would have called them and had them check the same channel.
Like I said, I understand the reason for blackouts and don't have a problem with them, but I would think some should be able to explain them to me when I call with a real problem.
