I know you'll never be in that situation. Which is why you'll never understand the frustration.

BTW......did you notice that the only people who agreed or supported what I was saying in this thread are the people who are in my area and are in the same boat. Which was my point above exactly. If you're satisfied with a service, of course hearing other people complain just sounds like a...

I'm locked into a contract until next Sprin with DTV. When my wife and I bought our house last year, we decided to go with DirecTV because we hated our cable company and we were told CSN Philly was going to be added shortly. This was 5 months after they won the court battle with Comcast, so it...

Right!! I get it......I'm not missing the point. They will never pay that. Which is why my point (and the title of this thread no less) is that people in PA are going to bail on them. Give them the boot! That's the point YOU and all the other people are missing. Again, we don't give a...

It's already in Philly and in surrounding areas, just not my surrounding area yet. But I'm not in some "boony" area. We're told it's coming here. And if that takes to long, I'll be the next one to bite the bullet and go back to cable. It sucks. Ooops, sorry if that was "whining" too much. I...

This whole discussion, despite 5 pages of back-and-forth, can be narrowed down to one thought: Philadelphia sports are more important to Philly fans than any satellite provider, which is unfortunately why Comcast reigns king in the area. With that said, Comcast (and soon Verizon) will continue...

Where did you get that information from? At least the other New Jersey yapper looked up on Wikipedia to see the #4 media ranking that Philly got. U.S. cities with teams from four major league sports - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Here's what the Sporting News ranked Philly, second only to...

As stated before, Philadelphia is the largest sports region outside of New York. Which is why Comcast uses that channel as leverage since Philadelphia has the lowest number of satellite customers as a result of not sharing the channel (as Iceberg was so kind to point out earlier). So logic...

I really have nothing to add to that last comment, Iceberg, since everything you just mentioned was already hashed over previously and understood by both you and I. Nothing new. OK, one comment. "....and the reason is CSN and D* havent made a deal. Plain and simple. No matter how you spin it...

I just noticed the 2nd part of this quote. So since I, who lives in the Philly market, should have to go without seeing my hometown Phillies, Sixers and Flyers, so that you, who live in "some place men fear to tread" can see the games without being blacked out. That's pretty fair.......pffft...

What? I wasn't saying YOU should be paying $10 for anything. I thought you were using that as an example of CSN saying, "OK, we'll give you the channel for $WHATEVER". That's why I said they should pay the money, regardless of price. They can afford it. As far as religious and shopping...

Yup, that is exactly what we are trying to say. We don't want to leave DTV, because IMO they are superior to cable. But if they can't come through for Philly fans (when it's seems quite feasible that now they can), they are going to lose many of them. As a matter of fact, if FiOS was in my...

This may be the case, in which case we're saying PAY THE TEN BUCKS!! Otherwise, Comcast AND DirecTV are to blame. We don't want to hear "we can't afford it" from DirecTV, when I have to click by one hundred do-it-yourself channels, a dozen religious channels, and 2 dozens Investigation channels...

You are completely right, if this was 2009. Now what's the excuse. If you have some dynamite info on what the hold-up is, let me know. I have a few hundred friends who are curious.

What the hell are you talking about? Who said that I said DirecTV can bargain Sunday Ticket with Comcast. Comcast stated that they wouldn't share their CSN Philly channels because DTV had sole rights to the Sunday Ticket. I was never under the impression that they could bargain with Comcast...
