    AGREEMENT REACHED....Possible Sinclair Locals Dispute 3/1/13

    I get Sinclair owned WSYX ABC 6 out of Columbus OH as my local ABC network. Last week Directv replaced it with WABC out of New York. I thought this was very strange in doing that before the March 1 deadline. I assume it has to do with Sinclair.

    Directv contract with Fox networks coming up...AGREEMENT REACHED

    As long as this doesn't affect the Big Ten Network I could care less. If it does, then I blame Directv because they seem to be the ones apparently not willing to give a little, by not continuing to transmit even though NewsCorp says they can. When it gets to baseball season that is going to be...

    Where the #$^#^#$^% is TruTV HD???

    There may be hope for all games in HD I read this late last night at NCAA Tournament on TruTV HD Channels by Provider | HD Sports Guide. Look at comment #4. It appears that DTV will be having a mix channel for the ncaa tourney. It says all four games in HD. It is not clear if it means just...

    Does DTV still have a special customer retention phone number?

    They are telling him it will be almost the end of January before they can get a tech there to resolve picture quality problem. Not the first time he has one had this specific problrem or had wait almost a month to get a service call.

    Does DTV still have a special customer retention phone number?

    I have a friend who is having problems with his service and standard customer service is just ticking him off more. If he can't resolve it tomorrow he's leaving DTV after 15 years.

    Distant Networks In HD

    DNS in HD You do have to sub to these channels and you only get East or West. Not both like SD. Unless you specifically ask to have them you don't get them. But they have been available for the three years i have had DTV. Another interesting item, DTV added the NY DNS stations as my...

    Satellite Viewers Act fails

    Is Directv losing Distant Networks too? I live in the Marietta OH/Parkersburg WV market, one of the smallest. I struggle just to get NBC off of antenna and this market is served only by WTAP with NBC/FOX/MY. I would be completely without CBS and ABC! If I don't get WABC and WCBS I'm screwed.

    Sports fans: ESPNU HD or Versus?

    My eyes bled last night trying to watch ESPNU. I forgot about Indy Car being on Versus though.

    Universal Sports added

    Probably shows replays of ND football too. That would be great to watch all those Cheeseburger Charlie failures over and over.

    DIRECTV Remains Clear HD Leader with 130 HD Channels

    Wished I had slept in. Very "meh". Thought for sure they would pull some positive surprise. Instead, we actually got less than expected with a few of the RSNs being delayed. I guess Dish wins this little battle in the HD war. Maybe Direct can counter something positive by the end of...

    Locals and Nationals

    Never understood the ad revenue argument I live in Marietta Ohio. We are about 100 miles from both Charleston WV and Columbus OH. both of which are available on local cable. We have a local NBC station in Parkerburg WV (one of the five smallest DMAs). I am able to receive distant nets from...

    Thumbs down on the "extra" Masters coverage.

    ESPN on Thursday Friday, CBS on the weekend for the Masters. The point is Directv was promoting all this "extra" coverage and it didn't start until 4pm. Yet it was being streamed on the internet since 11:30am. Probably has more to do with ESPN or CBS but Directv could have advertised that...

    Thumbs down on the "extra" Masters coverage.

    I was expecting the extra coverage to be on all day, but instead it was only on starting at 4pm (concurrent with ESPN). The same content was available from about 11:30 am on the web via Masters.org. If Direct is gong to do this every year they should get a better deal that will allow all the...

    Question from Earnings report

    Thanks Thanks for answer. Not exactly what I was hoping for though. I was hoping it was to put some pressure on them to carry ALL the dmas. I live in the Parkersburg WV DMA and it is one of the smallest in the country. I figure we'll be the last to get added. Thank goodness for OTA.

    Question from Earnings report

    I saw this and don't really know what it means? HD Must carry change outlook? Came out of blue, quickly, trying to understand all the things involved. Premature to say. Robust fleet with lot of flexibility, especially with Spaceways. Need to get better understanding first. Does it...
