Sorry, guys.  I was dashing off quick mssgs while holding for ESPN.  Trying to get online access.  I have a local cable company & had tried every way to get access - except calling.  I'm going to have to change providers.  Planned to before football season, anyway.  Guess it will be DISH.

Bottom line:  Unless they are affiliated with a national, you can't get it.
