Sinclair is the one that is punishing you as they removed the feed and only they can return it. The FCC will not allow any provider to replace it.

Oh, and they're certain to give you the 100% truth 🙂
Think about it. What incentive would a TV provider like DirecTV have to yank a channel and upset their customers? Only the station owner has the power to yank their channel.

Until a deal is reached, Sinclair will not return the channels to DirecTV (at least not without an expected price increase for the extension). DirecTV cannot force them to return the feed while they are negotiating.
Once a deal is reached then DirecTV will have the permission (without any strings attached, just the normal agreement itself) to have the channels back.
If you absolutely cannot live with those channels, then plug a regular antenna into your TV to get their free broadcast. If you live in an area where you cannot receive the free signal, then that is unfortunate and you will simply need to find something else to watch while they are negotiating.
