TimeWarner cable in Austin used to  the Rangers on channel 77 when the main FSN channel was showing an Astros game. I noticed that there hadn't been any games on 77 yet this year, so I called them up tonight and the rep said they weren't going to be broadcasting any of the alternate feeds from FSN any more because they couldn't renew the contract.

Ugh.

So my immediate thought is to call DirecTV and ask them... the rep there said FSN is FSN and if they're showing the Astros that's all you get.

Since Austin is in the Rangers local blackout area, we can't get them on MLB.TV or Extra Innings -- does anyone know how I can watch anything other than the over the air games on KEYE? Hopefully someone has an answer other than UVerse or Grande since I can't get either of them in my area.
