DirecTV blacked out during A*M/Ark

[kujotx]

Did any other DirecTV users have the game go black once the game extended past its scheduled timeslot? Once the game's original slot ended, I received the blackout message, despite the fact that the game was still going on.

Weird.

Yeah happened to me too, I changed channel to different ESPN channel and they finished out the game there.

The next game on that channel must have been blacked out in your area.

 

[Statalyzer]

Yep. Complete fail on the part of either ESPN, DirectTV, or both.

It came back on ESPN about 30 sec later. If it had been a Texas game, I would have lost it.

Happened on DISH also

Is that what happened?

I was between games coaching soccer and heard that Arky had come back. I started watching the game on my Spring phone (ESPN mobile). Just as Arky threw deep on their last drive, the game switched to some X-games ********. I lost it. I checked several more times but it was always X-games.

Me too.

BOMC? Seriously, if ESPN had a bias to make A&M look stupid, they would have SHOWN the game, not blacked it out!!!!
