The area of market accessibility for each regional sports network is determined by the companies that provide the Regional Sports Network to Fox Sports Direct for instance.
The constraints of C-band satellite systems, cable systems and Direct TV differ slightly, which is why RSN territories sometimes vary from one delivery system to the next.
Most people get the same Regional Sports Network from Direct TV as they would from cable. But in some areas of the county, there are differences - your home RSN might be different from your home RSN on cable and your RSN on Direct TV. This is because Regional Sports Networks base their service on zip codes for satellite customers, but on county limits for cable customers. This difference is necessary because of the technical differences in how the satellite and cable signals are dispersed.
