Right before the election, this is the third day in a row that Fox and Friends has been BLOCKED by Direct TV. Apparently it is going on all over the country, not just here in the Northeast. People are tuning in at that time before work, and Direct TV switches the channel to Fusion. They replace the screen with this message: "We are experiencing temporary technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience." I've tried calling 3 times to complain, but they are not taking calls. Post to Twitter, Facebook, anywhere you can to keep the pressure on Direct TV. Rush was right when he calls our media the STATE RUN MEDIA.
No FOX News with DTV in east Texas this morning. .
How about that?
CNN and Fox News indeed are out, I do see Fox Business is on.
AT&T bought Direct TV and had made an announcement about Time Warner. Trump said he would block the deal if elected. AT&T Time Warner proposal : http://www.npr.org/2016/10/25/499299869/at-t-deal-for-time-warner-casts-renewed-attention-on-cnn
It’s time to drop Direct TV. Yes, I’m serious. I dropped cable years ago because of their bias, and I have a lot more time and fun without the TV.
Another dispute over programming costs. Read about it here: http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cbs-fox-affiliates-in-major-markets-go-dark-on-directv-amid-retrans-dispute-1201295846/
Haven’t watched TV since 2008. Don’t even have a TV anymore. Pardon my smugness :)
Same here, what BS. I have stayed away from the news for 6 months. Somtimes I watch a little of Fox and Friends, Hannity and the Judge. It has done wonders for my blood pressure. I just get the news from FR, Britebart and Drudge.
Fox News and CNN both blocked out on Directv here in Florida. MSNBC is still being broadcast.
CNN and fox are blocked in Tucson. That isn’t technical. Anybody know what they are reporting?
Thanks for posting. I started to post a thread and fingers messed up).
Something mighty strange going on. Can’t even get BBC. All local channels and regular shows seem to be OK.
This is eerie.
sod
out in arkansas, too.
figured FR would be down this am,too.
how long ago did obammy give away control of internet?
I went to their online chat and demanded a discount since they were not providing a service that had been paid for.
Got a $5 discount. Its not about the amount, its the principle. It will cost them more than that to process the credit through billing. If we all do that it will be less likely to happen again (election day) You may have to ask for a manager.
CNN too.......
Out in Colorado too.
Outages in N central FL. Happened previously this past week as well. Direct TV. I have no Cable/ Sat, but talkradio saying many are having issues here.
Out in Las Vegas as well
Blocked in KC!
When control of the media leads to control of information, it’s George Orwell Time....
Out in Virginia too......
Dark days are upon us.
My hi-def fox is out. But low-def works (one channel up)
