Solve the problem with ESPN & ABC!

Literally having the same issue been on hold 40min tried everything from rebooting, turning power of, re downloading app etc. nothing works 

There is a contract dispute between DirecTV and Disney and Disney made DirecTV remove the programing from the lineup until it is resolved. 

Ok and my money paid for service I thought I’d have and paid for. I will get my money back or I’ll go to someone better as it seems this problem happening to a lot of folks 

Disney wants even more money for the same programming.

They had the same issue with another provider. The negotiations eventually ended with fewer niche channels and access to the ad-filled version of Disney+.

Maybe DirecTV will end up with the same solution. Nobody here knows.

"Ok and my money paid for service I thought I’d have and paid for. I will get my money back or I’ll go to someone better as it seems this problem happening to a lot of folks."

Channels are never guaranteed by any provider.

I tried getting out of DirecTV and accessing the game through the ESPN app (I use Roku, if that makes any difference). Once I signed in to ESPN through my "provider," i.e., DirecTV Stream, the app showed me a message that "the ESPN networks are no longer part of your video lineup." It goes on to give a website for further information: KeepMyESPN.com. I'd suggest you go to that website, because that appears to explain the situation. No manner of rebooting, downloading apps, etc. is going to work, it seems, because DirecTV has pulled the plug on Disney-owned channels. You're probably noticing, like I am, that we DirecTV subscribers are getting information from sources outside of DirecTV, in spite of paying DirecTV a hefty sum of money each month! And if I sound angry, it's because I am.

It’s all good I’ll leave direct tv and get my money back watch 

Holtk45 we in this together bud. Yep they wait right before prime broad casting to do it smh. Btw they have shut down there online log in portal so you can’t delete your account btw 

HO! Very interesting about shutting down the login portal! Here's my thing: I do get that channel lineups are not guaranteed, like baseballisback said (and BTW love the username). However, I have a problem with the lack of communication from DirecTV so we subscribers can make informed choices--key word being "informed". I switch from YouTubeTV to DirecTV every baseball season, since YouTubeTV stopped carrying Bally regional sports networks. There have been times that YouTubeTV got into channel disputes, and the company emailed subscribers to tell us that certain channels might be lost and actually told us the date of the deadline. That's the kind of customer service I expect and what I think is fair.

And Provoltes, thank you for being a Brother in Arms. Or Brother in TV, anyway. If enough of us speak up, we have a chance of making something happen.

More info on the dispute (this could take awhile) https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/disney-directv-espn-dark-abc-carriage-1236126479/

I moved on to YouTube tv free for 21 days and then 64.99 lol no brainer 

Thanks for the link, wesstl. Informative article. Neither Disney nor DirecTV strike me as heroes in this fight but, unfortunately, we're the ones suffering--if you can call not seeing a baseball game suffering, LOL.

I am switching to Hulu since Directv can't be trusted

YouTube tv doesn’t have the Bally Sports Regional networks. If I get rid of DTV Stream it will be the end of paying for live tv. Can I live without baseball????
