On July 18, HD MLB games from YES Network and FSN Southwest will be available, as well as a continuous 24/7 HD feed from NESN HD (Red Sox). In August DIRECTV will deliver HD MLB games from SportsNet New York (Mets), as well as continuous 24/7 HD feeds from Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic HD (Orioles) and Comcast SportsNet Chicago HDTV (Cubs, White Sox).

DIRECTV will broadcast HD games produced by regional sports networks (RSNs) via a local market spot beam, and as a result, the RSN programming will be available only to those customers who live within the local designated market area spot beam and the RSN team territory. The games will be available at no extra charge.
