Comcast SportsNet Houston

Is the new tv station carrying the Rockets and Astros.  Does anyone have this channel or is this another Longhorn Network that no one will be able to watch?

Local Time Warner has yet to pick the station up.

Yes, this station is now the home for Astro and Rocket broadcasts.

As of Wednesday morning, October 10th (date of Rockets' first preseason game), here are all the providers that have Comcast SportsNet Houston available:

  * Coastal Link (channels 31/131 in Brazoria County, Texas).
  * Comcast Cable (channels 39/639 in the Houston area; 86/1688 in Houma, La Place, Monroe and Shreveport, Lou.; 269/1687 in Little Rock, Ark.).
  * Consolidated Communications (channels 42/723 in the Houston area).
  * EnTouch (channels 73/473 in the Houston area).
  * Phonoscope (channels 35/293 in the Houston area).
Currently DirecTV, UVerse, Dish Network are shut out. The Rockets and CSN Houston want you to go to http://iwantcsnhouston.com
 to demand from your provider that they add the channel, but it's really just helping them push the demand for it and get more money for it. As it always does, it comes down to money for both sides.

Keep in mind also the name "Comcast" being in the channel isn't helping when it comes to UVerse and the rest wanting to add it. It's like asking Coke to air the Pepsi channel.

I'm going to guess they'll have something worked out by the season's start. We'll see.
