I know they have something up their sleeves. Maybe Comcast and directv will merge??

I would absolutely love if they got CSN Philly. Thats one of the major drawbacks of me switching to Directv.

This appears to be D* specific. E* is still showing the HD feed.

Of course. Why would E* have lost it?

You of course have the numbers to prove your claim, yes? Where is VS ranked?

I doubt it has anything to do with Directv. Who is the install company, Halsted? BTW, where are you in CT?

I was only mentioning so that ya'll know that D* or VS is cause this problem on porpose and that it is not like there is something wrong with the HD feed and everybody getting the SD feed. Was not trying to be a smartass just thought ya'll might want some insight about it.

Im watchin the Indycar Race on VERSUS, like you guys said, their not using the HD feed, instead its the SD feed on HD Channel.

Every 30 minutes, The white print from DirecTV pops up saying you may lose VERSUS after 8/31
but after every commercial a black bar comes up squishing the screen it reads "You are about to lose Versus on directv. To Keep Versus call or go to Versus,com to switch to another provider----All of which carry Versus."
