AT&T/Sunbeam-WSVN dispute
Just found out this morning that the dispute over Sunbeam/WSVN-Channel 7 is South Florida wanting to jack up their fees has come to full effect. There's no programming on WSVN today only a screen telling us to check out AT&T's side of the story. But I agree with AT&T on this
I'm tired of these networks/channels jacking up their rates and expecting the consumer and/or the carriers to pay for it. This is a broadcast station that we're talking about.
The only thing is I'm going to miss the NFL playoffs today and most of all, THE SIMPSONS (D'OH). Why can't AT&T carry Channel 29/West Palm Beach instead?

My question is, when will this dispute end? I don't want AT&T to charge more for U-Verse, but I like watching the NFL on FOX and the Simpsons. What can we customers do?

To say I'm angry is an understatement. Comcast looks good now.

@Gagirlinfl This from Fighting for You:
We intend to get WSVN back into your local line-up and apologize for this disruption. The station’s owner Sunbeam Television is prohibiting WSVN’ signal from reaching your home unless they receive a significant increase in their current fees – just to let you keep watching shows that remain available for free over-the-air on channel 7 and often online at fox.com.
Broadcasters blacked out their local communities nearly 200 times in the past year alone, typically trying to get increased fees for conventional “free” broadcast TV. Sunbeam has suspended WSVN from other providers’ customers before, costing hundreds of thousands of loyal Miami fans their usual access to NFL playoff games and other important events. We appreciate your patience as we work to get WSVN back, while trying to resolve this matter quickly, privately and reasonably.
Besides WSVN’s usual over-the-air telecast, FOX Sports is making Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers NFL playoff game available live online at FoxSports.com and to any fans using the Fox Sports Go app for Windows 8, iPads or Android-enabled tablet devices.
😉

According to the ATT Fighting for You site, and your post,
...FOX Sports makes NFL football and many other live events available on foxsports.com or to fans using the Fox Sports Go app for Windows 8, Ipads or Android-enabled tablet devices. These are all good short-term alternatives...
This does NOT WORK. The App and Web site require you to select your cable provider and log in. Once you log in, you are denied access to the game.
Now What?

U-verse charges it's customers alot of money so we should be able to watch the networks we were promised. Why is it that they are showing the game on Channel 655 which broadcasts in spanish? I unfortunately do not speak spanish and find this to b discrimination!!!

I just checked out 655, and yes, at least you can see the game. Also available on 1655, again broadcast in Spanish, but at least you can see it.
Though I agree, if the broadcast is available in Spanish, why not in English?!!
thanks!
