another TEGNA/DirecTV dispute happening again, TEGNA contract with DirecTV expires on Nov 30 at 8 PM ET (3 Viewers)

Call again ..

I tried calling once before using the online chat and said Local Channel Connector and the automated system to get you to the right department didn't understand it. I think they make it tough for you to get one. They should sell it at ATT.com.

 

[CSM]

I called and requested a LCC and was told they sent one in January. I told them they canceled that order and never sent it. He then said they would need to transfer me to Tech support as there was a problem with my system. I repeated the story to tech support who took a while but said they were able to order a LCC. She gave me a confirmation number and said would receive it in 3 business days. I am not holding my breath.

I am starting to think the same way. Why did they make the LCC if they make it hard to get one?

 

[CSM]

Doesn't Directv put up a slate on the "-1" channel during a dispute, forcing you to hit channel up to actually show the real OTA channel?

I thought someone said such a change had been made for OTA a year or two ago. Maybe that's what he's talking about, and doesn't know there's a way around it?

I found this picture of the guide on the AM-21N. Not sure if the LCC is the same way?

Just tried chat again. One said she would contact Fedex about the tracking number. I don't buy that. I don't think anyone at DTV customer service knows about the LCC. Then got transferred to another department and he said contact the tech team.

Try Tech Support. I had the best luck with them. That being said I checked my order status on att.com and there is no LCC in progress. There is an order for Directv installation on December 7 2020. This should be interesting.

This is a very dangerous time for ATT to play this game. They are loosing subs by the truckload now they are jerking around long term subs to save a couple of bucks on a LCC they should have sent last time.

Now what if I try FUBO or HULU live this weekend in order to get the missing local channel? It is in the middle of Football season and this is a FOX station so it is not out of the question. Now just maybe I like the flexibility of streaming, I already have Netflix, HULU, HBO Max and Peacock, so my am I paying ATT around $230 a month?

Congratulations ATT, you just gave a customer a reason to try another service. This service was run so much better before they sold to ATT.

Don't see anything on the ATT.com order page. I am not holding my breath for one either.

Same thing with my mother. I am not too confident.

My mother actually got hers today so there is hope.

LCC's won't work on a HR24 correct? Only a AM21? Just confirming.

I don't remember anymore ... I think there was stipulations that it had to be a Genie I think ... unsure WHY, I think they only will give you 1 per household as well.

Can you not get them elsewhere ?
Just asking.

It only works on the HR-44 and HR-54. The Genie Mini's should be able to see the LCC also. Here is the set-up guide.

Any clue, why they made it for only a few recvrs ?

Nope.

Here is where I found out it only works on the HR-44 and HR-54 and why Solid Signal doesn't sell one.

Where is the best place to obtain a AM21? There are only two on ebay and way overpriced. SolidSignal don't have any anymore. Should I call local independent installation companies and ask if they have any laying around?

Worth a shot I suppose, but it seems highly unlikely.
