One of the big problems right now is that the Dodgers sold an exclusive TV deal to Time Warner Cable. TWC wants $4 per subscriber per month from non-TWC vendors to take the single channel. This is why only 30% of the Los Angeles market has seen a Dodgers game when it isn't also on TBS this year (except for the last week of the regular season): DirecTv, AT&T, Charter, Cox, and Dish Network all balked. If you want Vin and don't get cable in Los Angeles County, you have to tune into AM 570 (KLAC), which still has the radio rights. However he only covers the first three innings over the radio.
