IMO I would not say the best show on TV but I do think it is in the top 4 or 5. But something I said a few weeks ago in another thread I will say again, I hope they get back to playing a little football this season. The first season was a good mix between playing football and everything else. Last season was all about everything else and a little football maybe every few episodes.

I want to bump this to remind everyone.

I also wanted to see if anyone knows what is going on?

DIRECTV's site is still saying it starts 10/1 but the guide is full on 10/1 on the "The 101" and it is not showing "Friday Night Lights".

I noticed this as well .. I'll send a request on to some folks and see if I can get some better information.

Absolutely. The first season was much better than the second, IMHO. Still one of my top 10 shows, though.

Wife and I love the show as well. Tho based on the promo pic on the DirecTV website, I'm not sure we're gonna get too much more football. :) /steve

Season 2 due to the writers strike was such a huge disappointment it almost lost me as a fan. I know that the kid from KY Jeremy Sumpter(sp) was signed to be the new backup QB this season...

Have my fingers crossed they do this right.

Peter Pan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0838911/) is the backup QB?

i received my response from D*. In sum, it says a technican will call you to troubleshoot your system to correct your inability to see FNL in your guide.

Jeez, they don't even realize what they are responding to! That was a waste of time.

I wonder if DirecTV forgot to provide Tribune Media Service with the 101 listings, and, as a result, TMS didn't insert them in the current GUIDE DATA? That would be ironic, if true. :lol: /steve

Ya my wife loves this show (can't stand it myself but we all know that doesn't matter:D )

So I saw another promo that states: FNL Oct.1, 9pm Eastern. So in my timezone that is 8pm. Looked at the 8pm (9pm eastern) and it says that Toby Keith special that I have watched a few times?

Any news?

This is the response I got when I emailed them yesterday:

Thanks for writing.

I understand the Friday Night Lights is not showing up on your guide. I'd like to let you know that DIRECTV has already identified the problem and our engineers are now working to resolve the issue.

We appreciate your patience and thanks again for writing.


If the "blank recording" issue they've allegedly been working on is any indication how long this is going to take to get fixed.. we're in trouble. ;) :nono2:

I can not believe this issue hasn't been fixed yet. Yahoo Tv has it listed correctly.

You would think..... seeing that they poured out some major $$$ to air this show, they would have least made sure their subscribers can record it properly.

Unreal.

It really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Well, they do have a week to fix it. What I'm interested in is how often will they run it? My dvr is booked at 8 central, are they going to show it several times on Wed and throughout the week? Or just once?

I would guess there would be many repeats.

Then again, I would have guessed that guide data for this would have been correct at this point. :)

OK, I just received a response. This issue is under investigation at the moment and should be corrected soon. I'm sure the guide data will be available before 10/1.

Looks like 9pm ET showing .. Which mean's I can record it @ 6pm :)
