I would hope that DirecTV will soon follow...

Dish Network apparently carries a selection of the national feeds of diginets, of which DirecTV carries none.

That's one thing that's always frustrated me about DIRECTV. How is it that Dish Network can pull off getting some of the diginets on there system, but DIRECTV can't?

Meanwhile, I'm just holding out for one of my local channels to finally pick it up. We just got some random channel called TBD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TBD_(TV_network)), and I can't see it lasting too long here.

DIRECTV is owned by SONY who owns GSN, if I am correct. So the chances of getting Bu zzr are slim and none, and Slim just left the room.

By your notion, no other television provider would have NBCSN then, right?

Besides AT&T owns DirecTV.

Yeah, and that isn't exactly a new bit of news either.

Especially considering how much effort they put into cross promotion.

Thanks for pointing this out, Chad!  I had just looked at their Wikipedia article yesterday and it said nothing about Dish, plus I hadn't noticed it on my program guide.  As you mentioned, I had noticed several diginets popping up on there and hoped Buzzr would follow suit.
