Remember the Tegna dispute from a year or so back? I lost my local NBC channel during that dispute and Directv actually offered a bill credit, which I accepted. Now, I never actually got the bill credit but at least they offered.
Yeah that what they said bout channel 50 last year & to this date still don't have it. Guess they never negotiated. I also may be terminating my Directv. Channel 13 is a local station in Albuquerque. As you tell us to pay our bills & no interruptions will accure, why don't you directv shell out some of their money & pay these companies so us Ammericans can watch & be happy. I assure you they are gonna lose more customers. Yet, they keep charging us more for (Edited per community guidelines) infomercial channels. Pay the companies & get our channels back. That's all you have to do. Like they care about customers. Yeah right. All for themselves.
That is ridiculous cuz we didn't ask for it to be taken away. They raised my payment without telling me & that's after they removed the ones last year & I have the basic package. I didn't get anything extra either so it's just robbery. The rich get richer like they say. They should do better for there customers. My Father dropped them last year cuz they kept removing channels & raising his bill everytime he turned around. He is on fixed income & could no longer have his bill go from 90 dollars to 170 dollars for basic plan also. They are robbing everyone.
I can't believe that local advertisers have not dropped advertising on Fox 16. They are losing customers because many are not seeing their advertisements. I personally never watch any FOX local channels. I did like the early (9PM) evening news.
DirecTV is all about money, they don't care about service. For almost two months, we couldn't get any channels in the 200-300 range because there was a "tiff" between Disney and DirecTv, so we were without half the package we purchased from DTV.
In the meantime, DTV also has a statement "satellite not available, so we are switching you to the internet" and then we go through scads of buffering. We are paying for the satellite reception, not some poor excuse of internet connection. We are dealing with a couple of local firms who are getting into the local market to provide fiber optics service for both internet and tv connections. I'll be glad when they are finished laying the cables and I can kick both DTV and ATT to the curb.
The dish has been in the same position for the past 10 years,. I can only tell you what the message says when the channel doesn't come in on the satellite, but goes to buffering for the internet. The service from DTV is horrible, just slightly better than ATT which is the worst I've experienced period. I'm 82, retired, and fed up with both companies.
AT&T sold off 30% of DTV and no longer handles the day to day operations. The only reason you are losing the sat signal is the dish not being aligned properly.

When the owner of your local Fox station allows DirecTV to provide it again.
It's all about $$$. This video does a great job explaining it ....

Then Fox should reimburse you. They're the ones that pulled their channel.

As stated you FOX affiliate removed their feed. There is nothing stopping you from getting any streaming service.

Infomercials pay DTV or the channels to be carried. There is no "basic channel package"

Your dish may need to be aligned if you are being switch to the internet.
Disney removed their feed to DTV when the contract expired.
Sat not available would be a nationwide outage.
