    OT: No Sabres on DirecTV

    I know this is not about the Bills, but this issue won't get the exposure it needs on the Sabres board. I saw this posted on the Sabres message board and posted it in the Sabres forum here as well. Mods, please leave it here for a bit so that people will see it.

    Call the bastards!!!


    I just got off the phone with DirecTV and was told that they have NO plans of showing Sabres games this year on MSG or any other station. I was told that, living in the Rochester area, I actually am in the Ranger's market. When I asked which market the Sabres are in, I was told that Buffalo does not reside in an NHL market. When I reminded them that the Sabres play IN Buffalo, I was given the run-around and told that they "just go by the zip code". The girl I talked to said that she has received NO calls about this issue and basically had no idea what I was talking about.

    Again, DirecTV has NO plans of showing the Sabres games this year on MSG or any other station.

    I threatened to switch to Time Warner Cable and that did not seem to bother them. I would imagine that if more people did the same, they might be bothered enough to do something about the problem. Contact DirecTV and let them have it:

    Ahhh, now we realize why our team get's no attention year after year. Go figure huh? Your best bet would be to call Channel 2, 4 and 7 and tell them your story...most likely they will show it this evening on the news or at 11pm.

    Channel 2 "Tipline"...CHANNEL 4: Call4Action(or luke meretti's investigative reports-about people taking advantage of those connected to WNY)

      Are you sure it is for the season or just that one Preseason game?

        I keep asking this...does that mean we aren't in the local market for Center Ice? I would call myself but I am on someone elses bill and I don't even know the account number.

          I am thinking that Buffalo would get the MSG feeds for the Sabres.

              Yes, I was told for the entire season. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone today confirming this with DirecTV. The opener will be on because we're playing the Islanders. That's it!

                      Why reply if you don't care?

                      Oh, I see...you want everyone to know that you don't like hockey. OK, great, but who cares?

                              MSG is the Ranger's station not the Islanders I thought.
