It’s almost like people want money in exchange for goods or services.

20 dollars can buy many peanuts!

You can’t watch Rangers games without dropping an equivalent chunk of change. Unless you’re chuck…you’d have to drop 3 bucks. Which I assume is less than a “chunk”.

You paid extra for FoxSports. It may have been built into your package, but it wasn’t free.

Im paying over 200 a month now for cable tv. The Astros want more money. They think they are better than all the others being broadcast.

So don’t watch. You fundamentally misunderstand how RSNs work and MLB’s broadcast model.

Fine! I’ll start my own Astros station! With blackjack and hookers!

Chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers…all the things that make life worth living.

You have no idea what you are talking about as many of these fine folks told you. Why are you here? AstrosDaily is perfect for you.

Bullshit. You are an idiot.

This is just not true.

It is true that Astros coverage may change by next season. ATT (much like Ballys, but without the bankruptcy) is getting out of the Regional Sports Network racket.

The Astros and Rockets are buying back their broadcast rights for next season, if all goes well. What will that look like? I have no idea yet, nobody does.

I believe you can get games for free with Roku. Haven’t missed a game when I visit a friend with Roku. She has to look up channel on computer. A little hassle, but doesn’t cost her I believe.

I’m pretty sure an antenna would not help me in Central Texas to watch Astro games.

If you are in central Texas, or anywhere in Texas for that matter, you are in the Astros broadcast territory and games are available in your area via ATTSportsnet. If you don’t get ATTSportsnet on your cable or Satellite package, that is because your provider has chosen to not give it to you, not because the Astros think they are better than anyone else.
