    Another Retrans dispute - this time COX/Apollo - about to hit AT&T/DIRECTV

    Thankfully, COX, Apollo and AT&T made nice hours before that "Big Game", which means viewers in Seattle and Dayton don't have to take evasive measures. And the others get back what they were missing. That said, if you subscribe to any video provider anyblank having an antenna should be your...

    Another Retrans dispute - this time COX/Apollo - about to hit AT&T/DIRECTV

    Thought I'd pass on what KIRO/7 is saying on their website with added comment by me: “The best thing viewers can do is to Call AT&T/DIRECTV at 1-800-xxx-xxxx or locally at 1-855-xxx-xxxx. (NOTE: Phone numbers redacted by me. You should only call if there is a problem with your service, not about...

    Another Retrans dispute - this time COX/Apollo - about to hit AT&T/DIRECTV

    Yeah. Used that a bit during the recent dish kerfuffle until I got my antenna system fixed up. Needed an amp that burned out. Found one at Fry's. Locast, however, has a nasty habit of breaking into programming every ten minutes - and they don't wait for natural program breaks, and every time...

    Another Retrans dispute - this time COX/Apollo - about to hit AT&T/DIRECTV

    Tonight during the first few minutes of A Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and again at midnight, KIRO-TV ran a crawl asking DIRECTV & AT&T video customers to whine to the satcaster/cablecaster because it appears that KIRO Seattle (and, likely, other COX Media stations which are controlled by...

    another TEGNA/DirecTV dispute happening again, TEGNA contract with DirecTV expires on Nov 30 at 8 PM ET

    "The Crawl" is also running on Tegna's Seattle duopoly - KING/5 and KONG/6-16. Annoying. (BTW: DO NOT call DIRECTV to complain unless you call the local Tegna station and complain to them, not that it's gonig to do any good either way).

    Sinclair stations set to go dark on 9/27

    My advice to anyone affected by the Sinclair/AT&T Mess: 1. DO NOT CALL AT&T (or any video provider)!!! You have no need to do that. AT&T is quite aware you want your local network affiliates. 2. INVEST IN AN OFF-AIR ANTENNA. Broadcast stations send out their signal FREE. This gives you a...

    Sinclair stations set to go dark on 9/27

    KOMO here in Western WA has been running the "Call AT&T" crawl constantly for the last couple of days (along with that Sinclair-produced spot). I was able to set the "zoom" feature on my Hopper (I'm on dish, obviously) to black out the crawl during DWTS. If that feature exists on DIRECTV or your...
