[SIZE=3]Question for those of you in CNY with DirecTV...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Did they used to black out Syr football and basketball games on SNY/MGS/etc that TW was also broadcasting on their TW Sports channel? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I don't believe they are blacking out anymore due to the new deal or whatever it is with SNY, but believe they did in the past (as recently as last year). Is this correct?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]The reason I ask is that we have DirecTV up at our camp in Old Forge. The mailing address on the account is our address here in Syracuse. Time Warner CNY is available up there in town but last I checked they don't run it to where we are (about 6 miles up S.Shore Rd towards Inlet). Used to have games blacked out all the time and was real annoying. Every time I would call their customer service (in Arkansas I believe..) and argue with someone for 20 minutes to no avail...telling them I was in the middle of the  woods and I had no other options. Sometimes I would get around it be purchasing individual Saturay GamePlan packages for football but often would be screwed. This year hasn't seemed to be anything blacked out.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Just curious for those of you who use DirecTV regularly. I would seriously consider switching to it at home from TW if it would not impact viewing of Syracuse games. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]MSG..NFL Netowrk..NFL Full Ticket...so much more offered on DirecTV...[/SIZE]

and we do have season tix this is for the road games and some home games where we cannot get someone to watch the kids!
