What if I can’t see some of the channels under Regional Fox Sports Networks?
Note that DIRECTV does not broadcast every single Fox Sports channel that is available regionally across the United States. Some RSNs are available for distribution within their broadcast region because of rights restrictions. For instance, you will be restricted to Ohio and Florida RSNs in the mentioned regions.
If you are again out of your local team’s coverage area after moving, then you are out of luck in getting that RSN. FS1/FS2 is one of the popular National networks that can be accessed across the country. However, blackout restrictions of MLB, NBA, and NHL remain valid due to local broadcasts.
The only other choice is to resort to an out-of-market sports plan such as the MLB Extra Innings or the NHL Center Ice, which broadcasts games not in your region.
Management of Fox sports recordings, streaming, and ON demand
