"It's not as bad as it sounds. The Nielsen numbers are calculated by extrapolating a limited number of meters, in this case 581 of them. So it's more accurate to say that of 581 randomly selected Houston-area households, none tuned into the Astros game.

A more significant issue is that most of the Houstonians who want to watch Astros games can't. CSN Houston has been waging a year-long battle over carriage fees. At a stalemate since the channel went on the air last October, it's still not carried on AT&T, Time Warner, DirecTV, and Dish Network. It's available in roughly 40 percent of Houston households."

They missed watching them beat up on the Angels.

I'm guessing the Angels' rating isn't all that much better.

Can't wait till the next Fox battles.  You know it's coming with the Fox 1, that Fox will try to jack up the prices to bundle the channels.
