Anybody Else Having Problems With Direct TV........

I would guess that has more to do with whether or not DirecTV offers your local network in HD. If they don't, then they're probably allowed to provide you with an HD feed if you sub to SuperFan.

This must be it. My buddy, steelers fan thats 15 minutes away, always has any game that is shown on the local channel blocked out on the ticket channel. He is just getting SD though where I have HD. Dtv doesn't have HD locals in my area.

yep, that sounds more reasonable...I generally have to watch either Steelers or Ravens games on my local channels which makes sense because those networks air local commercials so they have the right to provide to local viewers. In those cases the Sunday Ticket channels are always blacked out and if I let the automatic search run, it will switch to my local channel.

Haven't had any problems with my DirecTV as far as local channels go.

All local TV channels are available as free over the air broadcasts in HD. If your cable or satellite provider does not have them simply hook up an antenna to your TV.

This re-affirms my decision to stick with cable.

And simply disregard any tall buildings or hills between you and the transmitter....
