Phillies on directv?

Question

I live in central PA and have had directv for nearly 6 months now. For some reason I do not get Phillies (or even Pirates) games. I do however get Nationals and Orioles games. Do I have to buy the MLB ticket to watch Phillies games? I also heard Phillies games might not be available to directv customers due to the team being partially owned by comcast. What is true and what do I have to do?

Answer 1

DirecTv blacks out the nationally-televised games because they think you can get the game in your local market, even though you might not be able to...

Just moved from Cent PA back to Philly!

Good luck
