DirectTV released the following statement yesterday about the issues with the broadcast of the MLB opener Tuesday morning.



"We experienced some temporary technical difficulties early this morning that resulted in some channels not being available to customers. The majority of our channels were not affected and we have since corrected the problem. In the case of the Red Sox season opener, we were able to bring the NESN channel back up at the top of the seventh inning. ESPN2 came back on later, after the game was over. (Customers who have NESN or ESPN2 in HD were able to see the entire game.) We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers - and particularly Red Sox fans. ESPN2 is planning to carry a repeat of the game at 2 p.m."


One must wonder if anyone even noticed Oakland made the trip to Japan as well.

Well there's your east coast biased right there. Anything west of the Mississippi except LA is not really there.

Its probably because the local Oakland station that showed the game was aired correctly, but the Boston fans lost out on it on ESPN AND their local broadcast...

Yes but not all Athletic fans were in an area that gets the channel that airs their games and were hoping to watch it on ESPN2
