Versus

I must be the only guy on here that this is affecting. I am not just talking about ME versus Bess.....I mean Versus channel has been kicked off of Direct TV. Some sort of financial problem between Comcast ( the owner of Versus) and Direct TV. .......maybe Potter can explain it? I am not able now to get the best fishing shows......including the Columbia River FLW WEstern that is coming up in a few weeks. I am not happy.

I can't believe that I am the only one to bring this up.

Just pissed

Jeff

P.S. I am willing to up the wager...there Bessty...how bout we charge 20 bucks per spectator and 50 per person for us to start

They have been talking about the contract disagreement for a while now and they where showing at the bottom of the screen during programs that it was going to be gone as of the 31st.

You can watch (after is airs on TV) the columbia river FLW on www.flwoutdoors.com. They have all the tournaments on there but they are only loaded after its played on regular tv first.

do you have highspeed comcast internet?

do you have a newer style tv [lcd / plasma] with a built in digital converter?

Yup Clif thats the real kicker. That hurts me a little more since we can still watch the tournaments online. I hope mma insider plays the good ones. I know Faber is going to be fighting again soon.

You are not the only one it is affecting. I was hoping they would hash it out, but apparently not.

Careful T-dot, this isn't the Great White North, you can go to jail for STEALING cable.

sucks to be you.

i have comcast internet [therefore i have a cable running to the house]. from that cable you can get free cable. all you need is a newer style tv. i can tell you versus is a free channel they broadcast. i have all the sports channels, espn, espn2, speed, verus - there is a 5th one that is on there but the name slips my mind right now.

i use to spend $$$ on the channels i now get for free.

buy yourself a sling box, and hook it up at a friends house with comcast cable.

Verus wanted to increase their cost 20% in the new contract, that seems like alot!

I second that Shawn! Comcast is GAY! C'mon DirectTV get it together and get the channel back.
