For those of you suffering from NFC blackout because of the Sunbeam-DIRECTV dispute,if you had View TV Abroad & along with it,Sky Go,you could watch both AFC & NFC games on your computer on SkySports 2. Watch UK TV Abroad - ITV Player Abroad - iPlayer Abroad - How to Watch iPlayer outside UK
I know this for a fact because I just checked.

They used to, remember? I had directv in 2007 and they used to open them up when a local affliate would go down. We have posts about this here on Satguys and the other website somewhere. What changed in that policy?
Of the local affiliate has issues and gives directv permission the can run an adjacent market temporarily.
In this situation I don't see Sunbeam giving Directv that permission.

But, I remember them opening up them for the entire United States(at least the east coast DNS feeds)
That was because of a affiliate having trouble with the signal, not a dispute over contracts.

Sorry Rey
I lost Fox as well in Broward County.
I guess that's why I pay a fortune with my
Other system.
However if I still had my roof antenna
Problem solved.
I wonder what the local bars did in South Florida? Most of them use Direc tv.
Plus the sports chains down here as well.
They must have lost a ton of business.
I really don't see many subs of any company switching in Boston to get channels 7 and 56. WHDH carries NBC, which I think is dead last in ratings in the big four. When they're not broadcasting the network it's second rate news or crap like Entertainment Tonight. As for WLVI, many teenage girls will be pissed not getting to watch CW programming. Other than that, it's reruns of Friends and Family Guy, good shows, but TBS has it covered. Good for DirecTV telling them to screw.
Right, I never watch WHDH or 56 personally and will avoid them from here on in if they ever come back. I do hope that DirecTV could get some FCC waiver (Or something) to allow them to broadcast the national NBC feed for the Super Bowl however.
I was out at one of my Commercial Bar DirecTV customers Saturday afternoon, helping them hook up a comcast box to their system for the missing games. NOT COOL

how is it a commercial establishment didn't already have a great OTA setup in place? ouch
They did for a long time, but their last H20 Died about six months ago and the newer replacement boxes don't do OTA.
but that doesn't matter they can very easily be independently run and incorporated. double ouch..
Sorry, that would be my regional NBC east feed. NYFiachra said:

Is That Channel 392? If so, I can't get it.
(I'm missing NBC, Channel 7 Boston like the rest of us too.)
Where exactly do you live in the Boston DMA??? I live about 70 miles west of Boston, can't get WHDH or WLVI via my antenna and do not have access to WNBC. I called D* and they had no answers. I am getting very frustrated that some subs in the market can get WNBC while others can't. I wonder if the FCC is aware of this?
