DirecTv dropping FX on November 1st

[Twigg4075]

WTF?!? No 'It's Always Sunny', 'The League', 'Sons of Anarchy' and others?!? You can't be serious. And why haven't I seen this on VSD yet?

I would be pretty pissed if I had Direct TV.

[EmpireWF]

Not just FX...ALL of the Fox networks.

The only time I ever watch any Fox channel is when I watch my 2 soccer games a year. I'm more then happy to take the year of free NFL Sunday Ticket as a trade off.

Yikes. Sucks for DirecTV faggots

[BrntO4Life]

Carriage contracts always go down to the wire.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Nothing to see here. Most insiders believe this will be resolved at the deadline.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Yeah didn't this just happen between NBC and Comcast or something like that? No way this goes down. How could DirecTV offer Sunday Ticket without having rights to FOX?

It would only affect the FOX broadcast network in a handful of markets. Everyone would lose the cable networks, though.

Ya this happaned a few times to my cable carrier in Orlando and in New York, and every time it was resolved.

Both sides usually take it to the deadline, hopefully they will make a deal by Nov. 1.

i saw the commercial today and almost shit. My wife loves those shows so I called and direct tv said dont worry, they are in talks and everything is going to be ok.

I said to her figures it was a Dish Network Commercial. She responded that they were in the same situation and they resolved it. No way will we let this drop, we are in negotiations with them already.

If we don't get FX I'll just watch The League online, no big deal. It says in my zip code that I'd still get Fox.

Been with DirectTv for more than 4 years, I am not always happy with them, but this is something that they'll get done

I hope you're right.

These things don't always get resolved by the deadline, but most of the time they end up working out a deal within a few weeks at the most after the takedowns happen. Dish Network has had a few of these negotiations as well. I don't have DirecTV's package that included VS channel, but did they ever get that one back?
