  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was watching the match on ESPNHD, and all of a sudden, the receiver (HR24-500) suddenly went black and switched to channel 201. When I tried to switch back to ESPNHD, I found that ESPNHD and ESPN2HD were suddenly gone, and only the SD channels were available. The weird thing is that all other...

    Turns out that the SD channel has the right data. The HD channel's data is completely wrong. I tried rebooting the receiver to see if I could get new, corrected data, but no dice. The data is incorrect throughout the rest of the day; they seem to come in sync with each other at 11 PM CDT.

    Is this why they can't put that game in the mix channel? I wish they'd figure out a way to only black out the window for this game for people living in the Tampa DMA.
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    By "planned in advance", one day's notice is plenty since it gives DirecTV time to add the game to their schedule and appropriately turn on the CSN+ feeds at the correct times. Would CSN ever air 4 games at once, or is 3 their absolute max? Does DirecTV have the capacity to carry 3 extra CSN+...

    I'm pretty sure WGN tries to never overbook so as to prevent issues like this; they understand that they're limited on secondary broadcast outlets. Has WGN ever transferred games to CLTV in the past? That would really suck if they did.
  7. DIRECTV Programming
    The playoffs/CSN+ 2 games are all planned in advance. Apparently DirecTV can't adapt in an emergency situation where a game runs deep into extra innings/overtime and unexpectedly runs over the timeslot for the next game.

    Comcast SportsNet is advertising on their ticker that the Bulls game should be on CSN Plus, but DirecTV screwed up and never aired it. Good thing the A's just won, so the Bulls game will be on the main channel now.

    This is really frustrating. I wish DirecTV would make changes to this on-the-fly.

    WGN has a deal with local stations in the Central Illinois, Southern Illinois, and Iowa markets in which these stations (such as the MyNetworkTV affiliate here) simulcast the WCIU games as well as the WGN Bulls games that aren't on WGN America.

    10 games? Far from it. Look at all of these WGN games. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/schedule/broadcast/index.jsp?c_id=chc http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/schedule/broadcast/index.jsp?c_id=cws Thankfully I'm at college where we have Dish. I have D* at home, but thankfully I can get WGN OTA...

    DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's a miracle you still have a working H20. I got two installed at once back in 2006. The first one lasted only a year and a half; the second one lasted three years before they were overcome by the overheating monster.

    It's fine over the air, and the problem also appears on other WGN programming. It's got to be a WGN-DirecTV uplink issue.
  14. HD Locals
    WGN is bad again today. I wonder what's going on?
  15. HD Locals
    Is everyone else seeing the picture on WGN stuttering like crazy? I've noticed it all afternoon today during the news and the Cubs game. WGN is perfectly fine OTA, and all of the other D* HD locals seem fine. I guess I'll have to call D* if this persists since it seems like an issue with the...

    Not impressed by the name at first, but after seeing the advertising campaign, I guess I'm warming up to it a little. Is it safe to assume that the naming will take effect with the start of the baseball season (or possibly even Spring Training)? Is it also safe to say that they'll be getting...

    Monday Night Baseball on ESPN is unique: It does not have blackout restrictions, nor is it ESPN-exclusive like Sunday Night Baseball; thus everyone gets the choice to watch the game on the local networks or on ESPN. (Note: ESPN can only air any given team three times a year on Monday Night...

    It just happened again. After the White Sox game on channel 213 finished up, channel 214 was shut off, but 213 was left blacked out for an additional 10 minutes before finally being turned on. Obviously since all live game coverage was over and MLB Tonight had already started, the blackout...

    This is getting ridiculous. MLB Network's coverage of the Cubs game ended 8 minutes ago, and MLB Network is STILL blacked out on DirecTV. Isn't there supposed to be someone over at D* who's watching the feed and is supposed to turn off the blackout as soon as the game coverage ends? EDIT: They...

    This happened with a different game last month, now it's happening again. MLB Network HD is being blacked out here in Chicago even though they're showing Angels @ Yankees. The SD feed is working fine, and the HD feed was fine until just a little while ago. They really need to be more careful...
