I don't get p.o.ed easily , but this really ticks me off.

At 645 I turn to DirecTV channel 665 Fox Sports Florida and the screen text tells me the program is available. Come 7:00 o'clock it's not available.

So I turn to channel 696, just labeled ESPN. Is that Full Court, I don't know. i don't really give a damn. I just want to watch a game. I'd maybe pay $20 to do it.

What does the screen info say, Call Customer service and order it.

so I call customer service and what do I get?

Sorry, this program is not available in your area.

I'm mad at ESPN, Fox Sports and DirecTV and I intend to spend most of tomorrow telling all of them that.

I work for a cable company, and yes we do hear a lot of complaints...However, people always come back to our service because they get really angry at satellite.

FU DirecTV!! They did this with the K-State game and they now they do it with this. They have the stupidist blackout rules ever. Do they have control over any of that? If DTV didn't have Sunday Ticket there would be no reason to get it.

Couldn't they just black it out regionally on DirectTV? What's the logic in blacking it out in Wyoming? I understand blacking out a game in the local area if it isn't sold out, but blacking it out in Wyoming when the game is in Florida...that's just wrong!
