    Thursday, April 12, 2007, 07:47 PM EST [General]

    Dear DTV Satelite FSN647 MW Cardinal Fans,

       I recieved this email (below) from Direct TV today.  THURSDAY..  I'm not clear where DISH is on this event at this time..  But, we did recieve the Wednesday noon Pirate game intact....    61853 ZIP   In the middle of the I74 corridor..  ILLINOIS... & the CUB/CARDINAL cross-roads or maybe battlegrounds.        I certainly hope all that were initially affected have been re-instated to their Cardinal game service, but I have no way of telling at this time..  I'm not aware of any press-releases..  Please post or forward if ya have one..     Thanks to all who particpated in sending the message to all of the parties involved... DTV FSN MLB etc.. Sure wish we had some names...  This cannot be allowed to happen again...     But, for now I know I'm a much happier camper and life is good.       Sincerely,     SJDBarney1        Now GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!

    Response (John B) 04/12/2007 12:13 PM Dear Mr. *****

    Thank you for writing. I'm sorry that you weren't able to watch the Cardinals on FSN Midwest. Earlier this month we made some changes to our MLB coverage that left some fans unable to see their favorite teams. Well, after hearing the feedback of baseball fans like you, we have made some adjustments that will let you see the Cardinals on FSN Midwest channel 647.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.


    Sincerely,

    John B. U6003

    MLB FSN DTV Satelite WAS THERE A BREAK THROUGH?

    Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 07:07 PM EST [General]

    The WEDNESDAY 12:10 PM 4/11/07 game vs the Pirates was telecasted on FSN MW with NO "BLACKOUT" on Direct TV in the 61853 ZIP...East Central ILLINOIS. The replay at 7PM is also being telecast with NO "BLACKOUT".....

    What does this mean??? I don't know.. I have not been able as of yet to locate any press releases from FSN,DTV,Dish or MLB.... If somebody knows of an official break-through, please post it here under comments... For now guarded optimisim for satelite Cardinal Fans... More later...

    FYI SJDBarney

    PS   Some post boards are suggesting that DTV's Front Office is actually beginning to move on the Satelite Direct TV blackouts imposed by FSN  Midwest.

    PSS How about that PIRATE Road SWEEP YAAA!!!!
