Direct- TV for people outside of West Coast

I have Direct TV and live in the south thus am in no way the A's territory. Is this Direct TV blackout of CSN-CA going to effect me and the other subscribers to MLB Extra Innings on Direct TV outside of the West Coast?

 

On my viewing guide on Direct TV there are two channels showing the A's- Angels game on monday. This was the set-up last year when the A's and the other team were showing the game. I am hoping that this and the call I made to direct TV is evidence that those outside of the west coast will get the A's telecast.

 

Does anyone have an answer?

 

I think that this whole thing is garbage for my fellow fans who know they are blacked out who live in California and Oregon.

 

To those who are tired of all of these direct TV posts I only set this post up to address the question of those outside the area. Nealry all of the other posts appeared to be from people in California or the A's territorial rights.

...except when the A's play a team in whose territory you do live.

For example, if you live in the Rays’ territory you will not see the A’s play the Rays regardless of whether or not the game is in Oakland or Tampa.

Yeah, but you could catch the game on a local channel.
