Bring back One America News for the millions who watch it

So, have you considered bringing back One America News yet?  I wonder how many have cancelled their DirecTV subscriptions.  I will be doing so soon if it does not come back on the air.  A letter from fewer than 20 people or groups should not dictate whether you keep a network on the air if it is watched by millions of people who care about the Constitution and following the law.  Your values statement talks about freedom and freedom of the press.  Re-read your Values statement.  Show you believe in it with your actions to bring OAN back on the air.

DTV didn't renew the contract so doubt it will be back.

We all know really why they cancelled the contract. It is playing politics and censorship of 1st Amendment.

Well after two decades cumulatively, I cancelled my direct tv subscription a few days ago. but agreed to let it continue until the end of this month's billing cycle on the 27th, to give me time to find a different service provide.

for those who may be in the same boat. Frontier is carrying OAN & Verizon is their parent company, so they may as well. plus, the app tv service called "Kloud Tv" has OAN as well. 

I have heard reports that the OAN live app is buggy right now. which seems reasonable, since they only had two months' notice that their contract wasn't going to be renewed.

so, by for now direct tv, maybe someday AT&T's financial woes will end up setting you free in a sale or even just end up letting you go back on your own.

AT&T lost my cell phone service years ago because of poor service & high fees.

now they lose my tv too, good riddance. so, no paying service to a company that doesn't respect its customers.

which means NO HBO or CNN Plus either. It should be called CNN minus with their number of subscribers, LOL. Cya

Sorry but OANN is gone so now you have to deal with that reality. They announced months ago and followed through to not renew the carriage agreement.

If you can't live without the channel, then time to find another provider.

Hello @historian1861, you landed to right place for help.

Let us share some information that will help you to transfer your recordings from DVR to VCR / DVD recorder:

1. VCRs and DVD recorders are not capable of recording High Definition content.
2. Before transferring a recording, change the output resolution on the HD DVR to 480i.

To do this, press the RES (resolution) button on the front panel.

3. Press List.
4. Select the desired program.
5. Select "Play".
6. Press Record on the VCR or DVD recorder.
7. After transfer is complete, change the resolution back to 1080i.

Keep in mind that there will be content that are not allowed to be transfer since our DIRECTV devices have anti-piracy Software and Hardware to protect broadcaster's copy rights and prevent recording from being sold/given away.

By the way, thanks to @Juniper for bringing accurate and prompt responses to our DIRECTV Community forum, we appreciate it.

We'll be here to give you a hand in case you needed.

@historian1861 many of us canceled DIRECTV once they let politics in the board room.  We have been discussing the issue in the main forum since January (was promptly closed when channel officially taken off air) and DIRECTVs actions only confirmed our initial hypothesis.  

DIRECTV actually helped many of us realize there were a lot better value options out there.  We just went along with the constant price hikes until getting a wake up call after they removed one of the best news channels for political purposes.  Check out VUTVPlus; Vidgo; or even a combination of TiVo, antenna, and streaming. 

Read the complaint OAN filed against DIRECTV in California Supreme Court to get many eye opening details.  Don’t fall for the bait and switch tactics from DIRECTV and get steered into staying with bad company.  My bet is Newsmax will be next given the rallies from far left extremist groups like Media Matters and corrupt California politicians. 

 I’m personally glad I followed key Re..pub..li..can leaders from Day 1 and banned DIRECTV in my home since late January.  It was a hard decision to make as a 10 year customer but I’m glad I did.
