They sent me a free over the air antenna - thing is complex. Hook it up to your main box and it sends it to all the other boxes in the house. Works PERFECT. Call them and they will send it to you for free. The reception is HD and looks just like every other channel. Just make the call Talking about DirecTV. I must live too close to Lake Ontario because I get more Canadian channels than local channels. I’m leaving DTV.

This doesn’t include the Nexstar affiliate who provides CBS to the Buffalo region. We are still blacked out unfortunately Edited August 8, 2019 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable and Dish are like going to the store to buy a shirt, and being forced to buy all the shirts. I dont know how this is still going on in 2019. Its fairly irritating. TV though a very small part of my life is something I dont want to work for. If I want to drink a beer I want to open it and drink. I dont want to have to add accessories to drink it. Same thing with TV, I want to point and click and watch what I want. Too much of my life is work, I'd like the relaxing parts to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but love the s*** sandwich we are usually forced to eat as opposed to other parts of the country, time after time, because...you know, we are Buffalo. The above, and arguable some of the highest electric bills in the country while being right next to Niagara Falls, or being (I believe) having the last numbered designated stretch of thruway in New York (190, 290, 390 etc., not the 90 itself) to have tolls on it on the waterfront until someone said, "why the F do we have to pay this" and NY gov't officials shuffled their feet and pretended they had a reasonable answer. People wonder where that chip on our shoulder came from. Sorry. This won't last long. Reasoned or not I am just "in that place" right now. EDIT: Let me chase it with this...how many NFL cities are now left without CBS on directv? Buffalo, Cincy and Cleveland? Look at those three. it figures, if so.

Preseason games are broadcast locally except for 1-2 National games a week . I don't think CBS has anything to do with tonights game. Ch 212-1 will most likely pick up Bills feed for a half and Colts for other Edited August 8, 2019 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 DirecTV is about to get fired in my household... Neither CBS - CH8 nor 212-1 have anything on except the stupid dancing DTV logo, and or their stupid pledge that "we're working hard on a resolution" ...
