Dispute with Local Channel providers

Because Nexstar removed the feed when they could allow DTV and all other providers to send it to you will they continue to talk.  DTV is still providing you with channels that are sent by satellite, there was never any guarantee what those channels will be. 

Once again, “not our fault” is not a suitable answer.  Why should customers suffer when companies fight.  I wonder if Nexstar customers are suffering?   It’s about mismanagement and greed not a good business practice.  I don’t see longevity for this company DirectTv, if I worked there I would quit.

Nexstar wants DTV and all other TV providers customers to suffer and yes customers that work for Nexstar  also suffer if their TV provider is one that is in a contract dispute.  You are correct Nexstar is being greedy and how is it DTV and all other TV providers fault that they are trying to minimize the next rate increase? 

They already told you that, read the TOS that states that channels and programing are subject to change at anytime.

Nexstar removed the feed in a contract dispute with Direct Tv.  Not a dispute I am privy too, just a $ dispute yeah maybe.  But “successful” companies negotiate outside customers view and without affecting them negatively!  Without satisfied customers there is no business!

DTV did start talks before the contract came up for renewal, they always do and it is Nexstar that will not allow their channels on DTV. Nexstar is asking for more money then DTV is willing to pay if that is not a dispute then what is?

Pretty much described what the problem is.  DTV needs to replace  their negotiators with competent customer oriented business minded employees; that realizes business grows only by keeping customers happy.  Turning customers away because another company legally holds the resources they need to provide for their customers is not going to work.  DTV could step up get the channels back to their customers, and grow customer base.  DTV needs to cut from within to survive, raising rates will only expedite the demise

Check out this excellent YouTube video that summarizes the financial incentive for station owners to continually jack up their rebroadcast fees ....

Yes a good video shows where DTV is bound for extinction course a step back in time going to Farmer Vision for the rest of us  or will the internet streaming eliminate all providers

Streaming services are also TV providers that will have the same contract renewal troubles.  Until there is broadband internet in every part of the USA DTV will be around.

I am becoming extremely frustrated with Direct TV. I have streaming services and when I signed up in August 2023 was supposed to get a $200 card which has never arrived. Now local channels are in danger of not being on DirectTV. Have already lost Sportsnet Rocky Mountain. Does my bill decrease because of what boils down to millionaire fighting with millionaires at the expense of hardworking customers.
