Apparently there are two different contracts between DirecTV satellite and Stream and Bally Sports. I have the same issue, in the Orlando market. Had DirecTV satellite and got all the Tampa Bay and Miami area teams I was supposed to. I switched to DirecTV Stream and when I do the lookup for streaming sports it shows I get all of the Miami area and Tampa area teams but I don't. By the way, both services were at the same physical location.
When I had the satellite service I had 4 or 5 Bally Florida and Bally Sun channels. If The Rays, Marlins, Lightning and Panthers were playing, at the same time I got all 4 of them. Now I only get 2 of them, as stream has only 2 physical channels.
So I subscribe to out of market services (MLB and ESPN+) to try to catch the games stream doesn't broadcast and the games are blacked out because they are supposed to be available on DirecTV Stream, like their local lookup shows.
I contacted Bally sports and they tell me it is a DirecTV issue, I contact DirecTV and they blame Bally Sports for the problem.
I would have never switched to stream, but had to as our summer place had trees, on an the lot next to us, that blocked the satellites.
