DirecTV is SCREWING us on HD Hockey

[OpIv37]

DirecTV does not carry VS in HD, but they sometimes show the HD games on channel 95.

Tomorrow, for the SECOND game in a row, they are showing REGULAR SEASON baseball instead of PLAYOFF hockey on Channel 95, and to make matters worse, the baseball game is only available to Extra Innings subscribers.

This **** is pissing me off.

Any other DirecTV subscribers- contact them here and let them know how you feel:

the Fins are on CBS so you'll be just as screwed as we are. I think we got 6 games in HD last year.

I wouldn't complain too much about not having VS HD... Sure it sucks now but you can only watch so much freekin' GOLF if any... lol

You're welcome to come over to my house tomorrow night, Op! A case of Yuengling been chilling in there all week as well as 12 pack of Sol and 12 pack of Harp.

thanks for the invite but it's at least a 3 hour drive- probably a lot more in traffic- I don't get out of work until 5 so I wouldn't be able to make it for the 7 pm start.

What also matters is that I paid a lot of money for an HD set, HD receiver and HD service and I'm not getting what I paid for.

you paid for what you got...you were not promised availability to every HD broadcast in the world or that everything would be broadcast in HD right now.

if DirecTV is choosing to show a broadcast of a baseball game that I can't even get because I don't subscribe to extra innings over a hockey game that I could get, I'm getting ripped off. They're choosing to show HD to a portion of their HD customers who also subscribe to Extra Innings instead of ALL their HD customers. That's a jack.

Did you ever think that all the technology is not in place? Think about how the first car owners must have complained when most of the roads were dirt.
