I am fairly new to ATT Uverse (about 3 months) and this is my first post.  As some of you may know last night was opening night for most NHL teams, and for some reason when I turned to Fox Sports Ohio (either one) it said the game was blacked out in my area.  This is a channel I have had since day one with Uverse (I live in Toledo, Ohio).  Not sure who I could contact on such an issue (or if I even should) or just wait until Saturday to see what happens with game 2.

Here's why:

The Zip Code 43607 is the home team territory for the following pro teams:

I figured you were in Red Wings territory in Toledo and the Red Wings will be the only team you see except on National Broadcasts, all other RSNs will be blacked out. 😉

@Dawgpound79.  What is your home address zipcode and what teams were playing?

Early in the season, things do get messed up, from time to time.

Welcome! Don't be a stranger on the forums.

My assumption is that your local NHL team is the Columbus Blue Jackets. Perhaps their game was shown nationally last night on the NBC Sports Network, and so it was blacked out on Fox Sports Ohio. That is just my guess.

It would be the complete opposite, NBCSN would be blacked out and the RSN would show the game.  As I posted above, his home team is the Detroit Red Wings in Toledo.  😉

Thank you for the update.  I have never had an RSN included in a package before and have some of the sports teams blacked out (the Reds were on all summer).  NHL website also says I should only get the Red Wings (bleh!)  I guess my issue was actually with my NHL Gamecenter subscription then since it also blacked out the Blue Jackets game.  I will see how it goes Saturday.  The only other thing I can think of is if the game was on the NHL Network (which for some reason isn't on Uverse).  I know for a fact the game was not on NBS Sports Net (they had Colorado and Minnesota I believe). 

Also I am new to Toledo.  The suburb I lived in last winter gave me both Columbus and Detroit on Directv.  Move 10 miles and I lose half my local teams even though I still receive the same channels.
