Thank you for the update.  I was just about to order the ticket.  I didnt want to mess with the antenna.

Live in Syracuse - we don't have Fox or ABC. They sent me a free over the air antenna - thing is complex. Hook it up to your main box and it sends it to all the other boxes in the house. Works PERFECT. Call them and they will send it to you for free. The reception is HD and looks just like every other channel. Just make the call 

Talking about DirecTV. 

 

I must live too close to Lake Ontario because I get more Canadian channels than local channels. I’m leaving DTV. Not to mention it absolutely sucks during any kind of heavy rain

This doesn’t include the Nexstar affiliate who provides CBS to the Buffalo region. We are still blacked out unfortunately

I was coming here to ask this, if CBS was still blacked out in Buffalo. Absolutely ridiculous.

Cable and Dish are like going to the store to buy a shirt, and being forced to buy all the shirts.  I dont know how this is still going on in 2019.

 

Its fairly irritating.   TV though a very small part of my life is something I dont want to work for.   If I want to drink a beer I want to open it and drink.   I dont want to have to add accessories to drink it.   Same thing with TV, I want to point and click and watch what I want.    Too much of my life is work, I'd like the relaxing parts to be easy.

I can't help but love the s*** sandwich we are usually forced to eat as opposed to other parts of the country, time after time, because...you know, we are Buffalo.

 

The above, and arguable some of the highest electric bills in the country while being right next to Niagara Falls, or being (I believe) having the last numbered designated stretch of thruway in New York (190, 290, 390 etc., not the 90 itself) to have tolls on it on the waterfront until someone said, "why the F do we have to pay this" and NY gov't officials shuffled their feet and pretended they had a reasonable answer.

 

People wonder where that chip on our shoulder came from.

 

Sorry.  This won't last long.  Reasoned or not I am just "in that place" right now.

 

EDIT:  Let me chase it with this...how many NFL cities are now left without CBS on directv?

 

Buffalo, Cincy and Cleveland?   Look at those three.  it figures, if so.

A few folks said you can pick up the game on 212-1..but I think they will block it locally.

Aren't Bills home games usually on Ch.7? Preseason games are broadcast locally except for 1-2 National games a week . I don't think CBS has anything to do with tonights game. Ch 212-1 will most likely pick up Bills feed for a half and Colts for other

Its on channel 7 WKBW in Buffalo.  However, if you get Rochester channels which a lot of people in WNY outside of Buffalo do, its on WROC Channel 8.

It without question does.   Like I said earlier, I just signed up at my new house Monday.  I had no clue it was a disputed channel until the tech was getting ready to leave.  Already had a dish on my house.

My was out for last 3 weeks until today

DirecTV is about to get fired in my household... Neither CBS - CH8 nor 212-1 have anything on except the stupid dancing DTV logo, and or their stupid pledge that "we're working hard on a resolution" ... BS
