More Direct TV ranting
I have the NFL Sunday Ticket. It seems like every other game I turn to, I get this message "This program is not available in your area." "Check Program Guide for alternate programming" What's the deal? Is the game blacked-out? I don't live anywhere close to Pittsburgh???

Much appreciated!

That's teh free rep...

Unfortunately, they're trying to make mansechs to me. The Rams/Tardinals game is blacked out b/c they didn't sell out.

Ok, well, if I can't purchase the St.Louis local stations because I'm "out of area" then logic would ****ing dictate that their black out wouldn't apply to me. Yet, my screen is blacked out.

Now I'm on hold...

That's it. Both games are on Fox and CBS. The problem is, I can't get Fox or CBS because Direct TV says I can get them with a antenna. Which I can, but it comes in like crap.

i imagine as part of the contract with the NFL, directv had to agree to a few things.

1. not show that are blacked out

2. not show games that are on the other major networks at the same time.


the NFL has 2 contracts ... one with directv and one with the big networks.... they had to balance the conflict.

We tried to lie man. They actually sent a guy to our house to check out the reception. He ran some kind of test, and graded the reception with a 72%. Anything over 70% is considered "ok." My dad has been fighting this for 3-4 years now.

I think if they're showing the game in your local area (even if you're not near Oakland or Pittsburgh) they don't show it on the HD channels or the 700 numbers.

I'm 400 miles away from Oakland and I got the same message. Switched to the HD CBS channel and it was there.

They are doing that here too, raiders - steelers and saints - seahawks , the two games that are locally . This is the first time they have ever done this in the 10 years I have had season tickets . This is bad because my local cbs channel is not as clear as the other stations .

I do have one rant about the HD channels...it seems like they're constantly synching them up. When they go for updates from Gumbal in New York they pop over to the non-HD signal. Then, when they come back, there's a brief time when they continue showing the non-HD before it clicks over to the HD signal. There also seems to be a lot of instances with the audio where it skips and repeats for brief moments.

Not terribly annoying, but annoying nonetheless.

Anyone else having this problem with the HD games?
