    Fox Corp. Warns Viewers Of Its Networks About Potential DirecTV Blackout

    DFW Market : Local Fox affiliate KDFW Ch 4 is still on as of this post. FS1 also on. Perhaps they agreed to keep the affected Fox outlets lit while negotiations are ongoing or agreed to a temporary deal to keep them lit. There's a new post on the 'net but otherwise, all seems quiet as that's...

    Fox Corp. Warns Viewers Of Its Networks About Potential DirecTV Blackout

    Thanks for the info. I'm watching KDFW Ch 4 now & so far they haven't had the Crawler alert appear on the broadcast which to me is unexpected as the deadline is tomorrow. They may be running ads that I haven't as yet seen.

    Fox Corp. Warns Viewers Of Its Networks About Potential DirecTV Blackout

    I'm in the DFW market & I haven't as yet seen any Crawlers on the channel indicating the carriage dispute. I may have missed it but I've been tuning into KDFW Channel 4 for the last 2-3 days off & on. The reason may be that KDFW appears to be owned (according to the small print at the end of...

    HR54 Genie Install Upcoming - Questions

    Thanks for the info. I have a question about the Internet connection to the HR54 Genie system: Is it mandatory to have this connection included with a Genie install? I don't use "on demand" or pay per view movies, etc, and I've never had a 'Net connection installed with my original HR22...

    I'm finally getting an HR54 (with 3 Clints) Genie upgrade this coming Monday & I have some questions about the upcoming install. I initially wanted an HR44 since it has the Composite Audio outputs directly available. The DirecTV Rep said the HR44 isn't available. My current equip is...

    NFL Sunday ticket deals/offers 2016...

    After checking my Account Activity, I think I received additional discounts. I haven't looked at how they list discounts in a while so I'm not sure but it looks that way. I recall the CSR mentioning I was qualified for additional discounts but didn't recall the details about what the CSR...

    Is this site getting slower

    I have the same issue as the OP with IE11. The page loading is intermittent, after I read about 2-3 threads. After that, when I refresh or backspace to the previous page, I get the "Oops, can't connect..." IE11 error screen. The problem only occurs with IE11 on my 2 Win 7x64 PC's and is...

    Scott, thanks for the info. I suspected this was a unique issue in my situation to this specific site. I'll see if I can find some error message info to provide it to you.

    Login problem

    Spoke too soon. My FF is having the same intermittent issues as IE11 but it works a lot better than IE11. Weird. I can wait exactly 15 minutes, and the site works ok for about 3-4 refreshes / page changes, etc.... then the same thing happens. The browser page "hour-glasses" for a while and...

    Forum/thread Display Settings?

    It appears that the default color scheme changed since yesterday. I like the new default color settings :). I can see the "new" post icon a lot easier than with the previous default scheme. The fonts look bigger to me, maybe that's my imagination? It's easier to read the thread titles and...

    Please Add More Color/theme Options

    I'm using the Dark setting for now, thanks to the ideas from members here. It's not my perfect choice but I can read the posts easier with the Dark setting.
