Try re-installing/setting up the am-21. My am-21 & antenna has always worked during contract disputes


Just found the solution. It works if I select the channel from the guide, but if I manually type 2-1 on the remote I get the "this channel has been removed" message.

While I prefer WBRZ, I do also enjoy Nakamoto.

I really enjoy Britney Weiss. iwhi

The morning show on WaFB is unwatchable.

Newsreader John Pastorek is the worst. I'd rather watch the kids read yesterday's news than that guy!

Does anyone sell the am-21 anymore? It looks like it has been discontinued.

Can anyone actually get WBRZ on their HD antenna? I've never been able to tune it in


Just fine out in Central, without an amp.

It says " The owner of this channel has removed it from DIRECTV line-up despite our repeated requests to keep it available to you". Anyone know what's going with this BS?


That's DirectTV's way of saying "we're in contract negotiations." They blame WBRZ for charging too much, and WBRZ will blame DirectTV for not paying the same thing that other providers are willing to pay.

I like how DirecTV asks that you contact the local channel provider about getting the channel back on.

Um, No. I pay you monthly for local channels. Do what you are paid for.

Yep, clear picture....as good as on Cox. I have a cheap ($25), "flat sheet" type, Amazon purchased indoor HD antenna that I put in the window between the glass and curtains near the TV. No problems.

Like this one...

Maybe they wanted to save the world from from having to put up with Sports2.

It's been discontinued, but you can buy it used on eBay. Works great with Genie

We had the same issue with WSB-2 here in ga. Give it a day or so and it will all be back to business as usual.


My father-in-law has dish network and they have been without channel 6 for over a month because of so called "negotiations"

This has nothing to do with "living" in BR. This will happen very soon in your neck of the woods as soon as the contract your cable provider is up.

So is this a good excuse to call and complain and get some discounts?
