Red Sox -vs- Yankees Blacked Out

[Scott Greczkowski]

The Red Sox -vs Yankees game is on MLB Network, but on DISH it is blacked out to me saying it's not available in my area.

It not on NESN which normally airs the Red Sox games (They are airing a Bruins game) and its not airing on any of the local channels... so why is this pre season game blacked out to me here in Connecticut?

In the clear here...

Yes network is broadcasting it, you must be Yes network territory as well as NESN.

 

[dfergie]

Getting it from Directv also...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

That must be it and unfortunately DISH does not carry YES.

There are parts of NW New Jersey (near the Poconos) that get Philly home games blacked out (even when they were not playing the mets or yankees) all because they were on a exclusive cable only sports network

That must be it and unfortunately DISH does not carry YES.

Did you try the other MLB channel? (The one that says"this channel will be moving to blah blah blah) sometimes they forget to black those out

watched the game in Okahoma on the MLB channel.

If it was a regular season game it most likely would have been available on an Alt HD channel from NESN. That's how they handle the early baseball season when the main NESN channel has a Bruins playoff game and the Alt channel will have the Sox game...
