Brewers Cub game problems on HD

[boelters]

Last night Directv turned off the Brewers game with two outs in the bottom of the 9th on channel 642-1.

Tonight, the Brewers Cubs game is suppose to be on Channel 642-1 in HD and instead the Padres Phillies game is on. I am on hold with Directv and they are telling me this is normal and correct. I got disconnected waiting to speak to a supervisor.

I am beginning to think I made a mistake leaving Charter.

I was on hold for an HOUR between getting hung up on, and retranferred around about this. Finally, they wanted to schedule a $80 service call to fix my system, even tho I told the witch it was on two different receivers. DOES ANYONE AT DIRECTV KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING? CSR said they don't even have HD access there to check. I've had it. They won't let me cancel it, the won't show the games. They have incompetent support, and you have to wait on hold forever. Then they try to rip you off. I'm about to tell them they can sue me for their committment breach.

Yes the Padre game is 642-1 when it should be the Brewers vs Cubs in HD. Even on the MLB channel it is wrong. I guess alot of e-mails to D* would maybe do something or not.

Brewers @ Cubs game is on ESPN HD in our area tonight.

It blacked out here, because it is being shown locally. But of course it is not because they have the wrong game on the channel. Major mistake by D* but nobody cares.

Unfortunately, ESPN is blacked out in wisconsin. 642-1 showed it fine tonight into the bottom of the first, then it just went black. (like last night for the last 2 outs of the game). I FFW for awhile and it came back as Phillies v padres. Channel 742-1 also is listed as being Brewers Cubs HD, for the MLB ticket, that that is showing Phillies Padres.

This blows. I think I may call too just to bitch.

You got that right. There lack of customer support people do not know and do not care. I am on hold with the retension department right now. What good are all the channels if they do not show what is on the programing guide.

Game is back on 642-1. I tuned to 206 and it said game was blacked out, then system searched for the game on different channels.

I guess the calls to D* worked.
