I don't recall "Footy" ever being on any other channels except FS1 and FS2. I renewed my "Watch AFL" subscription over the internet so I can watch all the matches.
My team, the St. Kilda Saints, doesn't begin play until next Sunday, March 16. The AFL has a strange schedule to begin the season. There are 4 matches this weekend in what is called the Opening Round. Then next weekend all the other teams play in what is called Round 1. I guess it's similiar to...
Thank you for the info. You were correct that my ESPN issue had nothing to do with the satellite problem. I discovered that the wind had blown a lawn chair against the dish base (it's on the ground) and it had moved a just a fraction of an inch. I gently moved the base back to its former...
All of my satellite channels have come back online except for two - ESPN (channel 206) and ESPN2 (channel 209). They still default to an internet connection. This is especially weird in that the other ESPN channels (207 and 208) are being received from the satellite. Unless some of the ESPN...
So glad I found this post regarding the outage. I had been holding on the DirecTV customer service line for almost one hour, listening to a recording of 2 "pigeons" "Bobby" and "Frank" playing over and over while I waited. They were promoting DirecTV Stream instead of satellite, which I find...
I am severely nearsighted with my uncorrected vision about 20/500. In addition, I have an eye condition called Kerataconus in my right eye which means the cornea covering the eye comes to a cone shaped point rather than being curved. I have had 4 cornea transplants over the years from deceased...
I've watched many live "Footy" matches during my numerous trips to Australia and have subscribed to the Watch AFL streaming package for the past 5 years. It costs approximately $130 (US) per year and is worth it for dedicated fans. I do see that FS1 and FS2 are showing more matches than previous...
What we are saying is that 719.1 (D*Sat) shows the "You are authorized - enjoy the season" mesage during the free preview, but then reverts to you not being authorized after the free preview. A viewer might assume that they were getting the programming for free based on the original message.
The same thing happens to me every time a new sports season begins such as MLB Baseball, Sunday Ticket Football, Hockey, etc. DirecTV usually has a free preview for a few days to encourage subscriptions and during that free preview, I receive a message on a channel saying "You are all set to...
Two weeks ago, I replaced an old HR24 with a Genie Mini and linked it to my existing HR44-200. All was good for the first week but now a problem has developed while watching recordings on the Genie. The recording will suddenly stop and a screen will be displayed which reads "DirecTV is waiting...
I stream ESPN+ solely for college basketball. Some games from the Big 10 (Kansas, Texas, Baylor) and many other conferences are only on ESPN+, nowhere else. After the basketball season ends, I'll drop it until next fall..
I have an HR44 as the main receiver so replacing the HR24 with a Genie is okay. The instructions to return the HR24 said it should go to a recycling location, not back to DIRECTV. The instructions also said to go to that website to print out a pre-addressed label and then take the package to a...
As a follow up to my original post, I did receive the Genie Client in the mail along with instructions to go to the website att.com/recycle for a shipping label to recycle the old HR24. However, when I went to that website I received the following Privacy Warning from Google Chrome. I think I'll...
I'm a long time customer with HR44-200 and HR 24-500 receivers. The HR24 is probably 20 years old and now can only be turned on with a red button reset. Five days ago, I called DIRECTV Customer Service and after explaining the problem, the CSR said they would send me a Genie Client to replace...
I noticed 3 new sports channels listed in the guide: Stadium College Sports Atlantic (608), Stadium College Sports Central (608-1), and Stadium College Sports Pacific (608-2). I may have missed it but I don't recall any announcement from DirecTV regarding Stadium Sports. I've watched these...
I also have the East and West Coast feeds and appreciate your warning about losing them due to a package change. My own issue with DirecTV Customer No-Service occurred on February 15 when I spoke to Lynn and requested that she delete MLB Extra Innings from my account. She assured me that this...
Hear we go again. News Press and Gazette, owner of 18 stations, is running a crawl at the bottom of the screen stating that it has been negotiating with DirecTV since September and has set a deadline for a new carriage contract for next Monday, December 16. NPG and DirecTV had a similar dispute...
Just checking before I call DirecTV, has anyone had success in requesting a refund for channels that have been dropped? I haven't had Altitude Sports Network for almost a month and DirecTV is facing a month end contract deadline with ESPN and the Sinclair Stations. I also was without 2 Nexstar...
My Regional Sports Fee in Colorado is $8.49 per month for 2 RSNs, Altitude Network and AT&T Sportsnet Rocky Mountain. Since AT&T owns DirecTV, I suppose it is possible that their negotiating tactic might be to force Altitude out of business and then sign up the local sports teams to their...
An interesting renewal battle is taking place in Colorado. One of our regional sports networks, Altitude Sports (channel 681) has been dropped by DirecTV, Comcast, and Dish Network, all today (Saturday). The story is that all 3 contracts were up and Altitude offered to renew them at the same fee...
