WPTV NBC Black Out

I am new to this forum and not sure if DTV actually reads these threads. As of June 1st 2026 We have lost WPTV NBC channel 5 because of "Contract Disputes". I pay way too much money for DTV to have this happen! Friends of mine had the same issue, same channel with Xfinity 2 months ago and has been resolved. Me, three weeks into this mess, it hasn't been resolved. I've been able to navigate and download apps to at least get me limited NBC and Local news but I'm about done with this crap! I've also subscribed to YouTube TV trial for 10 days so I can watch certain programs in my local area which works great! I may stay with YTTV and ditch DTV all togeather and save 20 dollars/mo. for the same channel lineup! If DTV can't get an agreement with my local NBC station by the end of this month, I'm out! For DirecTV, put your customers FIRST and provide service that you advertise! I will cancel event though I am in a 2 year contract but DirecTV has breached this!

Channels are never guaranteed...only service. The contract between you and DirecTV wasn't broken.

Here's some more info:
