Its been about Two years since the last Dispute. Hearst is in many Cities.

Guess that means an other round of FREE LCC . USB OTA Turners for everyone impacted

My local in Lancaster PA is out. I called Directv told them my local Hearst station was removed due to contract dispute and requested a LCC. The rep started reading a prepared statement telling me Hearst and AT&T are having contract negotiations and I should not worry because AT&T is taking this matter very serious. I told the rep I was aware of this and that is why I am requesting a LCC. They seemed confused so I said Local Channel Connector. The rep looked it up then told me for my suffering AT&T could offer a LCC. We look the long way home but finally got there. It wont ship until Tuesday though. That kind of sucks. They do verify you are in a disputed area and that you can actually receive the signal OTA.

 

[Claude Greiner]

Perfect time to request a local channel connector, even if you don’t give a dam about the channel that was taken down

With these LCC's you need 1 for EACH recvr, right ?
Are they giving out more than one per account ?

 

[ScottChez]

I wanted to check my free LCC OTA order, guess what ATT web site for Order is down right now.
This page is just for order status. You must call to order.
They must have a lot of people ordering.
It is free. Just call.

The LCC only works on HR44 & HR54, so you can only request one because you can only use one.

Oh, thats right ....
Thanks.

Reports are that they reached an agreement and the channels are back on today (or are in the process of being turned back on). Sure didn't last long, someone blinked quick once the channels were actually pulled.

 

[Miller426]

WGAL is back on in Lancaster PA
