DirecTv no longer has FOX?

[TheCowboy]

While watching the race today the message that DirecTv members will not be having FOX effective March 1st kept replaying on the screen. It seems as if DirecTv will be the only carrier to no longer have FOX. Is anyone else seeing this message on their screen?

Wow, what a pain it would be to never have FOX again. No more FOX baseball, football or nascar. I hope it is just like the Comedy Central issue with Directv that a deal was made with their company and we only lost a couple channels for a week or so.

Watched the race in Albany, NY on Direct TV...no such message here.

Cable providers always get in dust ups with the network. This is DTV's way of scaring customers into blaming Fox. They will work something out. They always do.

Watched the race at one of my buddies houses today & I had the same thing come across the screen 3 times & the only reason I even noticed it was because it would take the TV off of the HD feed everytime it popped up. I know they had a dispute last year with the Fox companies because I thought I was gonna have to change to Dish just to watch Sons of Anarchy.

I watched the entire NASCAR race yesterday on my DirecTV in Arlington VA and never saw or noticed a message like that.

Yep. Happens constantly on Time Warner.

Actually lost MSG for a while, and it seems like there are threats that Fox and other networks will be gone every year. I wouldn't worry about it.

Actually it was Fox that was scrolling the messages, not DTV. I think it was Fox trying to do the scaring.

It's only the Sinclair media group that is doing this. They own several of the local affiliates. This has nothing to do with the parent companies of ABC or Fox.

I get Fox Rochester as my eastern time shift, I think it was just that channel.
