DirecTV DNS changes

[Bill_Satellite]

I saw a post on another forum saying that CBS DNS had changed broadcast locations.
Sure enough, the CBS E. coast feed is now coming out of DC instead of NY and the CBS W. coast feed is now coming out of San Diego. Not sure why (CBS dispute with DTV?) but it will also effect anyone who changed their service address to NY or LA to avoid DNS charges. No CBS for you!

Now DISH and one of the Networks here in MI are in the same battle. I didn't pay it much attention so I am not sure which, but this is just an ongoing thing that pops up ever 3-5 years depending upon how long the partners terms were agreed upon.

Not here!! :E Still acting like children.

Not in Birmingham market either. Football season is getting close and I am getting nervous about CBS. They carry the SEC spotlight game each Saturday and many Sunday NFL games.

No this has nothing to do with streaming. It's just one of the regular battles the Networks and DISH and DirecTV have when new contracts are up for renewal.

Not up to speed on all this but I have to ask.

Is all this shakeup in the 'media' industry because of streaming?
Is there not a danger that this is all a passing fad and when the shine wears off they will be stuck with a huge $$$ white elephant.

Quick search, there are 10+ major streaming sites now. That pie is getting sliced up into smaller and smaller pieces.

This inconvenience actually is not so bothersome at my home. It is specifically a problem where I tailgate, with the season approaching. My batwing just won't get a reliable signal.

I've seen these squabbles several times, over the years. This one has lasted longer than any I can remember.

I doubt it will take too long for DirecTV and CBS to come to an agreement. It never does when these kinds of negotiations go South.

You need to get the Roku box and there you can get access to what you mention plus thousands of more channels..

Plus just about all local news channels are now streaming, you can be on the other side of the world and watch your local new

Can't afford to pay for all the data if I stream TV every night in my RV.

I have DirecTV and, for one, will have to make some kind of change when football season arrives. SEC premium games are covered by CBS and I have trouble getting my local CBS channel OTA from our tailgate location. This just won't do.

Not sure what causes the change to take effect but you must be late in the change over. I was really surprised to find that Judge Judy (from LA) was gone and the San Diego CBS did not carry it. Boo Hoo!

Yes, you are correct. I was late getting the CBS switch from NY/LA TO DC/SD. I have the change over now.

This must be part of the disagreement between DTV and CBS. My local CBS is gone along with my local CW and The Smithsonian channel, all of which are part of the CBS family. We rarely RV anymore, even though we still own the motorhome. I have an auto HD DTV dish on the motorhome. I may drop DTV and go with my local cable company, which is currently my ISP.

I have Dish at home and we have lost CBS. Not a big loss!
