texasguy:  Actually, no.  I said I have a perverted form of DISH called Ygnition, there is no contract required.  U-verse and Ygnition are my only two choices, so why stick with the one that misled myself and others?  http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2011/mar/31/opening-day-and-padres-game-still-unavailable-non-/  is an old article from last year and here we go again.  No game tonight.  If no Padres by opening day, I'm out.  The channel hasnt even been officially announced yet and Time warner is having the same issue, so I still hold out hope, but not much.
