Directv ACCNetwork mess... (still don't have it)


Aug 23, 2019, 10:48 PM

So last night I spent up to 2 hours on the phone with Directv to have them tell me that I should receive the channel on 612, but were not sure why I wasn't getting it. My package was qualified to have the channel. They passed the complaint up to higher support levels to work on the issue and get back to me.

I then stopped home for a few minutes tonight before heading out of town just to grab a few things and flipped on the channel to see if I got it to set my DVR to record some of the shows. I still did not have ACCNetwork. I called again for about 45 minutes tonight and now was told that the ACCNetwork is a regional channel and only Directv subscribers in the state footprint of the teams in the ACC are allowed to get the channel. No tv outside the states footprint of conference members were able to get the channel.

So unless you live in Mass, New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida you are out of luck getting the ACCNetwork. I asked if there were provisions to make it a national network and not a regional one since the other comparable stations are (B1G and SEC) and they said not now. Did not give me any other option available to watch the channel. No addition of sports package nor available on watchespn platform.

This is a total crap shoot for those of us living outside of the conference footprint. Ohio is a black hole around states that do cover it!.

Please let's bust Swofford's fax machine and other people involved to yell we want our ACCNetwork! (said like old MTV commercial!)

This is very poor planning on all fronts and parties to meet expectations of loyal fans and alumni across the states.

ACCN is a national channel.

You're talking to people that don't know what they are talking about.

Try again.

Someone misinformed you. It is available nationally.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

for an extra price, if you’re out of the ACC area.***

preach it! I had to add the sports package.


Aug 23, 2019, 10:56 PM

Still waiting for it to come up. Ordered it 2 hours ago.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

OMG!! 3 hours passed and still no ACCN or

any other sports package channels. called AT&T back, dude told me system didn’t show that I ordered it. He was nice, but the outsourced AT&T customer service is the absolute worst. I miss the old school directv, before the takeover.
and yes, now, for extra monies, i’ve got the freakin ACCN.

I was visiting a friend today in the Summerville area and they had it on Direct TV ch.612. Keep aggravating the heck out of them!!!

I am getting it but,


Aug 23, 2019, 11:11 PM

I had one guy with Direct argue with me that I had to have the NBC sports pack to get it. I hung up and called back and got different guy and got all worked out.
