I live in the Knoxville area and noticed last night I could not get any of the games and only was able to see the UT game this afternoon. The message states that it is due to their blackout policy. Was never an issue with Comcast.

Was it on more than one channel?

I know sometimes it would tell me the Braves game was blacked out but then I'd be able to find it on another station.

Found out on the online guide that it is on channel 30 which does not show up on my Direct TV guide. It is also on 209a but states that it is blacked out due to the blackout policy.

You watched the UT- SC game on channel 30 yesterday? I flipped on 30 around 3:30 pm yesterday and regular programming was on.

I don't live in the Knoxville area, but do you know if Direct will carry the SEC Network, I live in the middle Tennessee area, the game was a blackout on espnu, but we got it on a local channel 30, did you check your local channels.

Not the ones who have Dish ,which is superior to DTV in almost all areas including
price in which they are 25-40dollars a month less

Directv and Comcast have not reached an agreement yet to carry the SEC network. Dish network has. I think it'll happen eventually but not as of yet. I think there's a thread discussing the SEC network maybe in the NCAA forum.

I've only missed two bb games this season with DirecTV.
They were games that only access was streamed.
Wouldn't trade my sunday ticket for any of the other garbage out there.

I have it with Charter. Probably another reason my cable bill is ridiculous. RedZone only good thing about the NFL network.

Do you have the full NFL package where all the games are on? I think I'm thinking of the NFL Sunday ticket. I thinks that's what's exclusive to Direct. I have Dish and do have both Redzone and NFL network.
