Lost local channels here also in Pulaski, TN.. when I chatted it came back and said they are trying to get the local channels back on. There is a dispute between local channels and DirecTv.. Good Grief.. for the amount we all pay this should not be a problem...

Oh my goodness.  No local channels here in Pulaski Tn. either.. for the amount we pay each month this should not be happening At All.

Looks like a technical issue to me since the stations are all owned by different companies, so a dispute is unlikely

I got a hold of Directv and the gal told me to go to Settings than Display and than preferences and than go to Show All Channels.  on the guide it will show 2 channels one for HD and than the regular channel.  I now have my local channels.

I tried the fix from “Suiz” 

this will give you local channels but NOT in HD

I am paying for HD therefore AT&T should provide a discount

I tried what sueziq612 said and now have my local channels but not in HD.  This is totally ridiculous! Direct TV,  your customers pay way too much money to have this problem. You are going to lose alot of customers over this including me and I have been with you for over 15 years. Crappy customer service

Service is apparently not in the AT&T vocabulary. Have been a customer over 25 years

Got up this morning to notice local channels blacked out.  I live in Byhalia, MS and get local channels out of Memphis, TN.  Did what suziq612 suggested and got non HD channels.  Resolution (Edited per community guidelines)s.  Went to HGTV to watch shows.  Now HGTV is blacked out.  What the he'll has AT&T done with Directv.  It was great until AT&T got involved and screwed everything up.  They (Edited per community guidelines) big time.  Is Dish TV any good?
