Dfw area. Can’t get channel 29 to watch the Mavericks

Hi!  I’ve rebooted the TV, pushed the white button and redid all that but still no channel 29!  What gives!  I bought the sports package to watch sports!  Now I can’t see the Mavericks or the Stars since they went to stream only!  Very frustrating!

No idea what Channel 29 affiliate is. Are you supposed to receive the channel? Have you verified what channels you are supposed to get using the channel look-up tool by zip code located here

Channel 29 is the DFW station carrying the MAVs. And it's on directv satellite. What service do you have?

76021.  Zip code.  So I think I am not very pleased at all if I am paying this much and now not getting to watch 2 of the 4 sports teams in the DFW area

In 76021 the channel is available over-the-air with a suitable antenna.

quote : You can purchase a digital antenna, which typically costs between $25 and $55, and connect it to your TV. Or you can subscribe to the streaming service the Mavericks announced Oct. 21.

What's wrong with using an antenna?  Channel 8 sports has been telling you for two weeks how to get channel 29 free on your tV.

Although I'm able to receive TFAA 29 on an OTA antenna I have mounted on my roof, the signal using an indoor antenna is not solid enough to be watchable.

I'm a DirecTV Stream customer and one of the reasons I selected DTS was that the Mavericks were solely on Bally Sports. Now that the Mavericks are on a local channel, I and my fellow DTS customers have a reasonable expectation that DTS would add KFAA as  AT&T U-verse TV, Charter Spectrum, DIRECTV, DISH, Frontier Fiber Keller, Fubo, GEUS, Grande Communications, OneSource Communications and Optimum have already done.

I'm sure that many DTS customers are in situations where an outdoor antenna at a reasonable height is not a viable option. It's unfortunate that DTS is so slow to recognize the importance of this issue and have failed to react in the timely manner that their competitors have exhibited.

Actually on channel 8 the guy was saying it was available on DTS but it’s not🙁.  Hoping they will add it soon😊

Those regulations don't seem to apply to all of the other service providers.

I'm aware of all that, but we receive other local broadcast channels (like WFAA 8) on DTS, and other streaming services have added KFAA 29 to their lineups for DFW area customers.

As a minimum, it would be nice if DTS would at least release a statement on what their intentions are.

Historically bad policies are still bad policies.

I'm in agreement with Ldiane and RodInDallas. Most of us in the DFW area went with directv stream because they were the only ones to have valleysports. Now that, that isn't a thing anymore and directv doesn't care to provide us with this local station, maybe we should look else where.

Thanks Juniper for riding so hard for a company that doesn't care for you. Thanks to you, I will be shopping elsewhere.

by the way, youtube tv will always have the mavs going forward, so maybe we should go there!
