Steptide Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 It seems that every week I have some issue with my Sunday ticket channels. One week none of the channels were working, I just had a directv logo on all of them. After an hour on the phone with directv (during the games mind you) it just suddenly started working. Today, I have some weird thing popping up on each Sunday ticket channel asking me if I wanna continue to purchase the particular game I'm tuning into for 49.99. If I hit cancel, the channel blacks out. Wtf. This is now the 3rd time this season I've had to call during games to figure this nonsense out. And no, re setting the box has done nothing 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service after the sale sucks. Well it just came back. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Having the same exact issue! Inalso had that issue with the dorect TV logo a few weeks back. They had no idea what was causing it and after being on the phone for about 30 minutes it just started working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boco357 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Same here. Probably a NFL induced thing to get more money or out of contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Mine is working fine this week, because the Bills are not on! LAST WEEK,....disaster! Nothing worked on all of DirecTv. The remote wouldn’t work. Changed batteries. Still dead. Hit Guide, get nothing. Channel up, nothing. Info? Nope. After 30 minutes it started HALF working, I limped to the Bills channel and put the remote where it couldn’t get touched! A of 25+ years friend in town that day said “I’ve never seen you like this!” This week? Just fine. Of course, I didn’t need it so....of course. As stated above, service after the sale SUCKS!

Augie Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 It’s (DTV) been iffy for a while, so I always try to tune in at least an hour before game time. I watch it 8 times a year, and it seems to do the Rip Van Winkle thing all too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have had it for almost 10 years now and never have an issue that’s not self inflicted. I’m not supposed to have it where I am and a tree blocks the signal occasionally but that’s not direct TVs fault. So far so good. I was nervous last week before the Bills game because cbs pre game wasn’t on but it fired up just in time for me to watch the Bills get dismantled.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have had issues every year for the last ten, and for the past couple have had two accounts. First game of the season, I got an ambiguous message, called and discovered I had never ordered it. I had, of course, three weeks earlier with long discussions on how I wanted it at both locations but only wanted to pay one charge for it. I indicated that if that was not possible, I'd skip ordering it at either location and just find a local spot to watch. Like clockwork, they screwed it up. In fairness, when they finally fixed it, I was able to start the game from the beginning and saw the whole thing. When I called the next day to figure out how to avoid this problem in the future, they gave me a $65 monthly credit for 12 mos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Wasn’t actually tumed in until someone mentioned it. 49.95 or some chit. Lasted all about 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 No issues around Saratoga, NY. You guys on the standard or high def channel? I only have basic now as paying another 100 bucks for games in HD is just a slap in the face. Either way after this year the dish comes down. I can easily stream online for free and pay enough for WIFI alone these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I can't get reception either. Considering I canceled last year, IDT I should be as concerned as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
