I have been without 129 since Monday, May 25. Chatted with dish yesterday, have a tech on my roof right now...they were able to get him out next day. I'll update when I have more information...on Eastern half of US.

Thank you, I appreciate all of your input!

I'm looking for opinion. Here's a list of our current equipment. HD-DVR Model: HR21-200 HD Model: H20-100 HD Model: H23-600 HD-DVR Model: HR23-700 We've been out of contract for several years. I have an upgrade schedule for Tuesday. To a Genie and three minis. Directv was happy to do...

The CW Erie is listed as a substation as the CBS station. I never realized that before...I'm just happy to have all four main stations. I won't complain.

I noticed last night that Directv was now offering all of the local Erie channels, anyone have word on what finally broke between them and Lilly Broadcasting?

They won't grant you your distant networks but won't come to terms so Directv can broadcast their channels, it all makes perfect sense to me. Have you ever chatted with Lilly and found out why they won't come to an agreement?

Sadly, I don't watch much on CBS or NBC. I just prefer the nightly news crew on the Erie NBC station...

If directv wouldn't have granted our distant request for the two. We would have been in the same boat. I'm going to assume this is a money dispute. Really end of the day, networks make their money on advertising and number of people watching their shows. I wonder if there is a contact email for...

Yes, they were added in October before October, I lived in "Ludlow PA" which received the Buffalo locals. We moved back to our house because of "work" in October. Actually, we re-upped our contract for a HD DVR in our living room... I added the "distant" networks after the Erie channels came on.

We currently have NY-City NBC and CBS, but it's just not the same as having the "locals" from Erie. Our local cable company offers the ABC out of Buffalo along with the ABC out of Erie but no other neighboring channels. Dish offers all of the locals from Erie...hopefully they'll get this...

Any idea what the blocking is about? I live away from Erie but they're our closest local channels. I miss my news...

I was wondering if anyone was aware of the contract standing for NBC and CBS between Directv and the channels in the market. We receive FOX and ABC currently from Erie PA.

Service call To be honest, I'm not crawling up on my roof. I have a service call after work tonight with Directv. I have to give them credit for that at least, they get their techs to you fast.

It is something besides the receiver...thank you. I'm embarrassed, I didn't think of this before you mentioned it. Thank you so much.

We had some heavy rain last night, and some wind. But nothing that lasted a real long time, maybe 30 minutes. The receiver worked until we went to bed after the bad weather. The weather was at like 6 pm. We've done a red button reset. It hasn't worked. We've called service. They want to send...
