Thanks for all the replies. It has been fixed. The issue was this, there are 2 cable outlets in the living room (dvr) Installer ran a cable from each one, which does make sense. BUT, the electrician wired these as one. One is lower than the other, so the upper outlet box is just "jumped"...

Forgot to put the city. I live in commerce, ga and will be tailgating in athens, ga. I pick up the ATLANTA locals.

My question is this, if the preseason games are shown, which ones will air? Do you get all the pre-season games on multiple channels or just the nfl network and its the luck of the draw for the area that you live in? Any one have an idea before I call direct?

blackout??? Need a little help here, I have Dish and I am contemplating switching to directtv. Was this game blacked out by DirectTV? I was forced to purchase full court for $75 to watch this game on dish and then the majority of the first half was black due to technical difficulties. I...
