    DirecTV admits to incorrect billing for RSNs

    Without joining the debate on the rationale of the RSF, I respectfully disagree with you on this. I've had the same programming for 6 years (including the Sports Pack) with no RSF. I review most of my bills from all companies when received. I noticed the RSF of 7.29 being charged for this first...

    DirecTV admits to incorrect billing for RSNs

    Well actually, two months was kinda a long time as I was the impetus for this. Emails, phone calls, unreturned VMs, etc. Since the charge appeared for the first time on my bill in Jan and I noticed the discrepancies in zipcodes all around me, it had to be new computer code that was recently...

    DirecTV Channel Listing

    Personal question - how old are you? They gave me the laminate and I swear its in a 4 pt font. What I'd like to find is something like above for all the RSNs - haven't been able to locate that one yet on the site.

    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    Does the wireless solution work just for net connectivity for widgets (doubt I'll DL much content). I have both HR24s next to the one TV so dont really need MRV but have no coax near them. Installer said no and didn't leave a wireless unit, just the DECA.

    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    Couple quick ??? - is there anything available similar to the nice laminated Channel Guide they give you at install but in a font size larger than 4??? That thing is painful to read. Went to their site and you can print out the tier pkgs and scale it accordingly, but it doesnt have the sports...

    Yeah surprised the hell outta me last night as it was my first date with D*. I'll probably have to get a StarChoice box b4 D* will ever have regular Kanadian HD feeds.

    Would they not be obligated to return the pro-rated amount I'm paying specifically for the Multi Sports Pack for FSNs if 80% of those are not currently transmitted?

    Goodbye DISH.....Hello DirecTV.....

    So FOX is disallowing lifting the reciprocal feeds for all providers (if that's what its called) for home markets that may not have a local game broadcast? Last night, FSNAZ did not have the Coyotes game and it was blacked out on the Ottawa feed here in PHX on CI. Thought they have allowed the...

    Rogers Sportsnet in HD??? Didn't think they did any Kanadian feeds in HD unless they're on NHLN. Looking good!!!

    Goodbye DISH.....Hello DirecTV.....

    Not sure the specific carriage with ST but the FSN pull on E* only affected Center Ice to the extent there are no HD channels - NHL still provides FSN feeds to E* that FOX currently does not. But you knew that ;)

    I'm setup for tomorrow with a local. 2-HR24s on the truck. Thx to all for their help in convincing me in this thread (well, FOX did that mostly now that CI free preview is over...).

    All I can tell you is how it currently is for hockey's Center Ice pkg. You'll get the FSN feed but only in SD. Your home team will be blacked on LP as the league states you must get your home market on your local RSN (which is not available if a FSN in dispute). There a few HD feeds from a...
