No HD MLB since Monday night

We have the MLB Extra Innings package and since Monday night ( 8/22/2011) we have been unable to get any MLB games in HD.  All of the games are visible on 720-1 the HD Game Mix channel, all of out other HD programming works fine.  However, when you go to the station broadcasting the game in HD, you get the Direct TV logo and music.  The LD broadcast channels show the games.  Direct TV tech support says you get the logo screen + music when the individual broadcaster at the local level has blacked out the game.  I find it hard to believe that every individual broadcaster for every major league team just so happened to black out their HD broadcasts at the same time.  Neither Fox nor ESPN are showing baseball games at these times so their country-wide blackout rules don't apply.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Is there anyone with the Extra Innings package who does NOT have the HD games blacked out?

 

Thanks for any feedback.
