machine gun kelly Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Sorry guys, just made it home. I saw the 6 messages. I haven’t enrolled, but e-mailed them to confirm I can get the Bills, even pre-season for this of us who don’t live near Buffalo, vs. waiting the replay on NFL TV. I googled Prime Tyme TV. The site came up and the6 indicate you can get on up to four devices for $25/mo. 800 US channels. My TV guy told me it worked for him last year. I’ll let you know when they respond.

Where do you get an antenna that gets all local channels from across the country? 9 hours ago, jletha said: YouTube TV has every sports channel you'd ever want PLUS all local channels and basically everything else youd ever need and all you need is the internet and an AppleTV/Roku thing. I split $50/month with my brother because each account gives you 6 screens. It is perfect 720p picture, never lags or buffers and it completely live with unlimited DVR. I HIGHLY recommend YoutubeTv, it has been awesome. It doesn't have NFL Network... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwnyer Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 if you subscribe to NFL ST you should get all games unless blacked out in your area. This will get resolved before the start of NFL season right now all your missing is Bachelorette 25, amazing race around the water, may other bull#### reality TV shows etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Theyve gotten pretty stingey. Im gettin ready to drop em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 10 hours ago, GG said: In which markets? I'm not aware of any blackouts from February. AT&T currently blocks CBS-owned and Nexstar local stations. BTW, these transmission agreements are the biggest reason your cable bills are so high. I used to work for Verizon and the cable bills are so high because they try to soak you for as much as you can. When you leave they have a trick - they have someone talk to you about a deal and then after you get bill they said that package was not approved for you and try to sell you another package with higher price that had the same items on it.

If you have directv and Sunday ticket you would need an antenna for the local broadcast but all out of market games would be on the Sunday ticket channels which is number 700-715 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bill is high because the costs to carry the channels are high. If you add up the 4 broadcast networks to the other channels that charge carriage fees, the cost easily hits $30 just for the basic cable channels. ESPN alone is about $6/month. If the cable company is offering you 100 channels, they are probably paying $50 for those channels. Then add in the cost of running the network and service.

thronethinker Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I work for a major Cable Company and honestly they can't wait to move on from TV broadcasting. HSD is the bread and butter now. Everyone cuts the cable just to get faster HSD which costs the company pennies compared to Broadcasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC has been gone since an hour before Game 1 of the NBA Finals with no end in sight. CBS gone for a month. Lots of people are going to be to be very surprised when they can’t see the preseason Bills games on ABC nor the regular season ones on CBS. Even more fun when the Sunday Ticket channel for the game is blacked out and Game Search brings you over to the “We are as frustrated as you are!” blackout screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it will be by September, in time for the NFL season, otherwise there will be a ton on angry customers, and most will quit DirecTV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's stopping companies like Spectrum from offering a streaming only service for people who don’t want to pay $8 per month for a cable box on each tv?

Subscribers to DirecTv know that many have lost, or will lose, local channels, which carry NFL games. Here in the Binghamton area, we have lost FOX, NBC, ABC and the rumor is we are about to lose CBS. With starting that, how in hell will DirecTv be able to air any games at all? The only station left that carries games will be ESPN, and that has nothing to do with the Sunday Ticket. It seems like the NFL should be able to pull the rights away from DirecTv. I am getting rid of this come the beginning of September if the local channels aren’t back on the air and I highly doubt they will be with the way this company does business since AT&T took over. Damn, how can you lose all that and we only lose CBS ?? On 7/29/2019 at 11:33 PM, LABILLBACKER said: Same concerns in Southern California. CBS is currently blacked out with DTV and are supposedly negotiating? This will effect Sunday Ticket. thats BS, if you pay for ticket, you should get all the games, otherwise whats the point?!

Sunday Ticket doesn’t show games that are on your local CBS feed, so the current blackout of CBS-owned stations shouldn’t affect Sunday Ticket games. You won’t be able to watch the games on local CBS station on DTV, though. They’ll resolve it soon anyway. they friggin better. I m super pissed right now as im missing Worlds Strongest Man which is my current favorite sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, this will be worked out before football starts..you can bet your right nut on that i thought that two weeks ago, its been a month already and im missing more than football. i keep looking for updates on this resolution and it s been crickets.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 21 hours ago, Binghamton Beast said: Yeah, obviously they don’t give a *****. I went on their FB page and read comments that their customer service people are actually telling people to drop DirecTv if they are unhappy. Since AT&T took over, that company has changed in a bad way. Definitely more expensive. If spectrum had more than two shows you could record at once i would have switched already. I still might if this continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called to get my bill down, which I did, but their rep kept saying drop us if you want to. I’m not in a contract with them -in fact, I said I would try their cheaper bill for one month and then probably call to cancel. I’ve been a 21 year customer of direct tv and can’t believe how far they’ve sunk Hell i couldn't even get a discount, didn't help that it was some Indian who i had to explain multiple times that CBS was dropped from dtv, as he kept asking me if the channel was coming in. 19 hours ago, sabres431 said: FOX has been blacked out since February.
