Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 750563, member: 474"] msg+ is a special station.. on directv its used for when MSG has more games than channels to show it on.. for example MSG has the rights up here to show the devils/rangers/sabres hockey games.. if all 3 are on at the same time the Sabres go to MSG+ but in upstate NY the games are blackout because we are so close to buffalo. on directv you have to remember they often show games on channels they dont have the real rights to show them. for example NESN does not have the rights to show the games in upstate ny for most events. but if NESN doesnt send the blackout rules the game shows up.. and they really dont care if people watch their station for a game they dont really own the rights too.. its only an issue if someone else has the local rights and complains. this is what TW used to try to enforce all the time.
