I'll try. Thanks for the update. I have DirecTV and was unaware of Cox.

Derrick,
Congratulations on the latest success. This is a wonderful time to be a Diamondbacks fan.
Do you have any insight into what is keeping Cox from making the TBS-HD games available to its subscribers? They appear to have a national agreement in place as many other Cox markets have added it. They should not have any sort of bandwidth constraint as they recently added and then later removed the NFL Network HD when there were preseason games in HD.
With the Dbacks in the playoffs, Cox certainly has antagonized a lot of people (and DirecTV has added it). If you have any leverage with these folks....
Keep on winning,
Paul

Hey Phil. Cox did turn this game on, on channel 716. Thank you for any help you gave to make this happen, it really made our night.
Night would have been better if they had won...
Note that the addition of TBS-HD is only temporary. They will remove it after Game 6. If there is a Game 7 it will be on Mojo (721).
