Channel 8 in Forida

I got direct tv and now I can not even watch football on channel 8 (wFLA) in Apollo Beach Fl.  But you will charge me a moving fee and sign a 2 year contract.  What the (Edited per community guidelines) is going on

Most likely your channel 8 is owned by Nexstar that is in a contract renewal dispute.  Unless you have been a customer in good standing for 2 yrs you are not eligible for a free move and that only requires a 1 yr contract.

Not true.  I have had direct tv for more than 2 years.  Still charged me a moving fee

Then there maybe another reason why you didn't get a free move.

If your channel 8 is not there because of the Nexstar dispute you could go to www.directv.com/tvpromise and get a one-time $10 credit off your bill!  All you have to do is go to the website and select how your service is provided and then your zip code.  Then it will search to see if you are eligible for the credit. Then follow any other instructions that it gives to you.  If you are eligible then you will receive the $10 discount.  Hope this helps.
