PROGRAMMING
Why can I not watch today’s game on Space City Home Network?
Space City Home Network has rights to locally available Astros and Rockets games. Select games each season are chosen by Major League Baseball and NBA for exclusive national broadcasts and are not able to be aired, including games on ESPN, Fox, Apple TV, and Peacock.
How can I get Astros and Rockets live game broadcasts outside of Space City Home Network broadcast territory?
If you are outside of the team’s regional television territory, games may be blacked out on Space City Home Network. Space City Home Network only has rights to distribute games within the home television territory for each team. Team territories are dictated by the leagues, not by regional sports networks. Some television providers offer out-of-market packages that will allow you to watch games outside of a team’s home territory: the MLB Extra Innings package and the NBA League Pass package. Please note some games may still be subject to blackouts. For more information, contact your television service provider.
I live in the Space City Home Network territory and my television provider does not offer Space City Home Network. What can I do?
Call, email or utilize your provider’s X (formerly twitter) online communities to let them know you want Space City Home Network added to your channel line-up. You can also subscribe to vMVPD providers DIRECTV Stream and fuboTV.

What is the difference between Space City Home Network and Space City Home Network Alternate Channel?
Space City Home Network is a live 24-hour television network.
Space City Home Network alternate (SCHN2) is an additional (overflow) television channel for televising live games scheduled to occur at the same time as other live games on the Space City Home Network mains channel.
