Out of area channels

Why are you not fighting the decision on the loss of the out of area channels. I have all those channels I don't want and can't get the one I do want.

Why should they? the DNS channels are probably less then 10% of their residential customers and it appears that DTV doesn't want to continue with RV accounts either.

Those out of area channels (DNS) were to allow people without in-market locals to get the main network feeds for traditional local affiliates. Now years later, most people have in-market locals. www.directv.com/locals

Unfortunately the STELAR Act did not get governmental renewal. Unfortunately the broadcasters who lobbied against TV providers, won. So AT&T was fighting, but they lost.
