           just your local market and or if its on a national feed as u allready know..       (espn tnt etc)

           the sports pkg and or u400 only show the markets u are in  not the whole country...

           black out  rules apply..

        my take

The existing sports package won't do that, but hopefully Uverse will pick up the MLB extra innings package and that will take care of that.

How can they not offer these sports packages?  They are the backbone of systems.  I don't understand this, other than NFL having DirecTV exclusive. 

I may have to switch out if they don't come up with something before baseball starts.

I really hope U-Verse signs up for MLB Extra Innings.

I would love to see them put the games in HD when possible. As a lifelong/diehard redsox fan living in Kansas City now it would be tremendous to get the redsox games in HD from NESN since NESN broadcasts every redsox game (home and away) in HD.

U-Verse, please offer the MLB Extra Innings package in 2008. thank you.

I'd just be happy for them to start with offering Comcast SportsNet Chicago in HD.  In fact all the RSN's should be offered in HD.

Probably not enough margin to bring in all the RSN in HD.. would probably end up being extra add on packages at $10-$15 a month.

I believe all RSN's are available in HD on DirecTV and included in the normal $9.99/mo for HD access.  Plus U-verse already has a number of RSN's available in HD.  According to the little U-verse channel lineup card I have here, the FSN HD's are carried as well as YES HD.

I should restate that.  It's not like you pay $9.99 and get *all* the HD RSN's.  You only get the one for your market.  I just mean that all are available, so no matter where in the country you live you get your SD & HD RSN channel.

I think that they should stay with the current plan to include the local RSN in HD in the regular HD package once they get past whatever is causing the delay in many markets.

[jmmarton]

100% agreed.
