well the real question is
If this the full Fox-HD Channel or directv is only turning it on just for the baseball playoffs.
because the directv online guide list as Baseball Playoffs being played over and over for 24 Hours straight. :smokin:

Maybe Directv is not filling in all the shows, yet. I went farther out and found what looked like Fox's standard fare, or at least thought I did...in HD 86 and 87...maybe I was dreaming, like the guy in the commercials for Directv with the underwear on.

Will these channels be similar to the NBC and CBS channels that require a waiver if you are not in NY or LA?? I don't want to get my hopes up and then see that stupid message.

the answer is down 4 posts or so.. You can only get it if you live in a O&O DMA. It is all about the Franchise owned FOX broadcasters making money off commercials. Nothing to do with any one being lazy or stupid.

Go online and check your Direct account. Make sure FOX is listed. You may also need a waiver. You most likely also have to be signed up for the HD package. While online make sure that you are in a O&O and not also covered by another FOX sataion.
They should be broadcasting on 86/87 also.

The actual reasoning by the networks on this is that by showing it only in O&O markets, if some viewers defect from the local and go to the HD feed, the advertising revenue lost for the local is at least kept in the house by going to the NY or LA affil.
Of course, fact is, it won't cost the local affiliate hardly any viewers, anyway, since when the person with the diary says they watched baseball on Fox, the person at Nielsen assigned to logging the diary entry will just credit it to the local affilaite anyway. (Except Peoplemeter markets, and I'm not sure how big a factor that is.)
