genius, Time Warner puts a blackout on the ESPN2 HD broadcast so we're forced to watch crap KNVA ESPN+ broadcast?

genius.
 
Same on Dish. I can watch the game on a standard definition receiver in another room though. This makes absolutely no sense.
 
Standard def is blacked out now also. This sucks. I've never heard of blacking out a game that's taking place 700 miles away.
 
I agree, What a bunch of horsesqueeze to blackout HD so we're forced to watch the local OTA 50's era quality broadcast. Thanks, Big XII.
 
This is absolute crap. Here in Houston it's not on either. I have to watch some crappy feed on channel 2 with bars scrolling down the screen on my 1080p tv... Is this a malfunction or intentional?

Wow this broadcast in Houston is just plain horrible in quality. I had the theater room all setup and was ready for some HD fun and I get this? 4x3 television on the worst channel on Cable?

Well this is just poo.
 
All I'm getting on ESPN2HD and regular ESPN2 is the ESPN news feed.

What the hell are they pulling here? It's on the TV schedule and shows it will be the Big 12 Men's Semis in HD.

I don't even have a crappy OTA broadcast to fall back on. ESPN sucks donkey balls.

Hook 'em
 
On Directv 72 in the Austin area, I'm getting the black screen with "This program is not available in your area. (727)"
 
72 was black for me. Can I ask?

Is the zip code directv has on file in Austin? If it is not I may try updating my address to something in CA or somewhere and see what happens.
