If I can figure out how to watch Royals games then I’m out. MLB.TV says I’m in the blackout region.

What channel have they removed? I never noticed any unless it's one of those sports channels in the 600's, can't keep track of all them. I saw they just made HSN a HD channel, so now everything is just about in HD. They added the Scientology Channel, not too interested in that.

I've had Directv since 2008 and had NFL Sunday Ticket add since 2011 when I moved to Florida. I can't complain, they gave me the ticket free the last two years.

My neighbor just got a streaming system called SkyStream 3, it has 600 channels, he had to buy the box for $160 and then he pays $30 a month. He usually asks for my password for NFL Ticket to watch his Eagles on his computer. I said did the games work OK on your computer this year, he said I don't need it anymore. Then he showed me he had every Philadelphia channel and watched the games on the CBS and Fox Philly channels, and we're in central Florida. I said, then you don't get the local Orlando channels, he said yes he did, he got both Orlando and Philly. I'm thinking about looking into that once football is over.

I noticed FXM and DIY network were removed from our programming package. Two channels we actually do watch. There were a few others.

That's AT&T trying to get more money hoping you upgrade. I've got the Premier package, so nothing has changed. I liked that they finally put FXM as HD channel. I've got everything including NFL Ticket, the last two seasons they gave me the ticket for free. I pay $185 a month. Basically since I've been with them ten years, and I got my latest box 4 years ago, an HD DVR, I'm no longer under contract of any kind. So all I do is call about every six months and say what deals do you have and they'll knock $25 or $40 off for six months. That's how I got the NFL Ticket, I just called and said, take the NFL Ticket off my bill. They use to give me a discount, so I paid about $150 to $200, but the last two times, they said it's free.
