    Stadium Sports

    I noticed 3 new sports channels listed in the guide: Stadium College Sports Atlantic (608), Stadium College Sports Central (608-1), and Stadium College Sports Pacific (608-2). I may have missed it but I don't recall any announcement from DirecTV regarding Stadium Sports. I've watched these...

    News Press and Gazette Dispute

    Hear we go again. News Press and Gazette, owner of 18 stations, is running a crawl at the bottom of the screen stating that it has been negotiating with DirecTV since September and has set a deadline for a new carriage contract for next Monday, December 16. NPG and DirecTV had a similar dispute...

    Altitude Sports Network (Channel 681 Dropped)

    My Regional Sports Fee in Colorado is $8.49 per month for 2 RSNs, Altitude Network and AT&T Sportsnet Rocky Mountain. Since AT&T owns DirecTV, I suppose it is possible that their negotiating tactic might be to force Altitude out of business and then sign up the local sports teams to their...

    Altitude Sports Network (Channel 681 Dropped)

    An interesting renewal battle is taking place in Colorado. One of our regional sports networks, Altitude Sports (channel 681) has been dropped by DirecTV, Comcast, and Dish Network, all today (Saturday). The story is that all 3 contracts were up and Altitude offered to renew them at the same fee...

    here we go again, DirecTv/AT&T about to enter yet another local channel dispute, this time, with CBS

    I agree with the comment about the Dish Network approach. I have quite a few recordings scheduled for my DNS CBS channels 390 and 391 and when DTV replaced New York and Los Angeles with Washington and San Diego, my recordings still took place as scheduled. The substitute channels approach...

    DTV just switched the CBS Distant Networks to Washington in the East and San Diego in the West from New York and Los Angeles.

    here we go again, DirecTv/AT&T about to enter yet another local channel dispute, this time, with CBS

    I got a wavier for both East and West DNS back in 1996 when DTV was just getting started. Since then I moved to Colorado and now also get their local networks. So with 3 CBS, 3 NBC, and 3 Fox stations, I have no need for Sunday Ticket. I get most of the games without paying - especially my 2...

    here we go again, DirecTv/AT&T about to enter yet another local channel dispute, this time, with CBS

    I'm grandfathered to have the Distant Networks. Both CBS Networks from New York and Los Angeles are Owned and Operated stations and would be dropped if an agreement isn't reached. Since I pay for these networks, I'll be calling DirecTv for a credit if this happens.

    Channel Updates

    Just wondering if this new Cheddar channel (354) might be the test of a migration of existing channels off satellite and onto internet apps. This would be one way of addressing the proliferation of streaming services in competition with satellite. One drawback is that the existing receivers...
