I spoke with someone I know about 30 mins ago who had just got off the phone with Direct TV. She relayed to me that DTV told her there has been an agreement and we should have service restored by tomorrow. I have not had the chance to call DTV yet to confirm, so maybe one of you can look into this.

I'm still holding out hope until I hear confirmation. I'm busy at work and don't have time to sit on hold for 30 mins again. Come on guys and get me some confirmation!

Yeah I have already talked myself into going to BWW on Vets and enjoying a couple pitchers of Blue Moon to compliment some wings.

F you DTV...this is probably because I canceled Sunday Ticket and made the comment to the Customer Service Rep while doing it " I dont need that crap...I get all the Saints games...touche Direct TV...Touche.

Just spoke to a superviser in the retention dept. and was told that no agreement was reached yet. She told me that once an agreement is met the station will return almost instantly. Take this info with a grain of salt, but this was an account superviser at their customer express number. That # is 1-800-824-9081 and todays passcode is 2139.

Also don't buy all the bs DTV gives saying that they aren't at fault. I found this article interesting.LINK

Title should be edited as there is no agreement in place yet.

Without agreement the Saints game will be blacked out on the Sunday ticket. All games provided by your local stations will be blacked out on the ticket channels anyway.

This is total hirseshit. The person I spoke with yesterday was told this by a DTV rep when she called in for free shite. They need to get their fricking dicks in a row

Geez... I just spent 2hrs finding the Fox 8 signal with the "Leaf" I bought for $50 at Sam's. Damn thing says up to 50 mile radius but for me at barely 41 miles from the WVUE tower it has a hard time getting the signal(I'm in North Covington across the Bogue Falaya).

For some reason it only picks up the WVUE signal next to my Infant Jesus statue on my bookshelf. Thank you Jesus

Just called DirecTV. Still nothing, but supposedly close to an agreement. FWIW, they are giving anyone that calls a $10 credit on their next bill just for calling.

Said we should be able to get the local stations On Air and new TVs may not require an antenna.
