Anyone else not receiving channel 75? I am getting a 721 message. D* says they have had several other calls with the same problem. The tech said it is their fault, but that anyone else with the same problem should call in.
No TNTHD for Sunday Ticket? TNT takes the Hit

I bet you guys don't subscribe to NFLST. I do, and when switch to 75 I get a Sunday Ticket message. Looks like they somehow mapped a Sunday ticket channel to TNTHD by mistake. That's probably why you're getting the 721 unsubscribed message.

I called the CSR and was told that it's a "broadcast issue" and they hope to have it resolved shortly. I asked if this was going to be down until after the ST HD games are done, she couldn't answer. This will really stink if they now have to steal TNT-HD in order to do NFL-ST HD channels.
Somebody on AVS claims that somebody at D* told them just that. I hope that is just another ignorant CSR giving out bad info.rad said:
I'm on hold now, the rep statrted the script about resetting and I told her is wasn't just here in CMH but Austin, NC, and CT also. That stopped her in her tracks and she's escalating!
They had no idea there was a problem so I suggested they have their engineers check this thread since it's been out over 3 hours nationwide!

Normally that is not the case, they borrow from the PPV's for the time being.rad said:
I would have to think that TNT is quite pissed about this, or TNT has already set up an agreement with D* ....
Of course it could still be just a mistake with mapping .....
Well see what happens when we gat closer to game time, IF it's a lack of bandwidth and they are borrowing for the time being then I would imagine it will be back up by 4 pm if not sooner, seeing there are alot fewer 4 pm games.

If they have to turn off TNTHD to get the ST on ...they should turn off about 40 channels of crap no one watches first.
unbelievable. First they downrezz everything to make room for ST HD and now the steal channels entirely. Here is the post at AVS:

Not to turn this into a switching thread but I had already made the decision to go to Dish. Not because of this but because of FSNHD on conus bird. This is unbelieveable.
I just got off the phone with DirecTV about this. I was polite and told them I didn't appreciate them taking HD NASCAR off to placate ST users. They said they doen't discout customers bills for "minor inconvieniences like this.
UN-FREAKING-BELIEVEABLE!!!!

I'll bet they didn't even bother to point out to you that the NASCAR race was last night.
