Like one of these. I think Fox 40 is in south sac. You'll get a perfect signal.
I'd probably get the Metro option though. It's cheaper and should work just as well.

Right now I get good service in a forested area where satellites are tricky, but that's the only possible issue with DirecTV. I'm sure channel packages are about the same.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but the ongoing contract dispute between Dish and KTXL (Sacramento local station) has lasted over a month now and will cause customers to lose 12 of 16 regular season games unless it's resolved soon.
Maybe I'm over-reacting because these disputes have happened in the past and channels were restored but it looks like both sides are not even talking.
When I complained to Dish about losing Fox 40 and NFL Network, they offered to take $15 off my bill for 6 months. I encourage any other unhappy fans to do the same.
My choices will be an extra antenna for local channels that I hope I can getor switching to DirecTV
and hope they don't pull the same BS.
My 20 Gigs per month of internet aren't much help.
Anyone else concerned about this situation yet or have any info?
I don't understand the big deal here. If you have Dish, you just log into the Fox Sports app and stream it on your TV using Chromecast.

Yeah no. Depends on the location. In my neighborhood pretty much nobody has DirecTV because it is so unreliable. With DISH I never have issues with outages, with DirecTV they had to replace the original dish multiple times and then the service would go out frequently, especially during monsoon season, any semblance of a storm and boom....no TV.

Stop the LIES Phoenix..
The reason why there aren't DirecTV at your hood is because you all been using those ILLEGAL CARDS trying to get all the free movies and PPV, and it gets zapped each time it detects them WRONG DOINGS!!

have you guys thought about playstation vue? I would pull the trigger, but in my market, (sacramento) the local broadcasts are not live. Instead, they have "on demand" set up.

But on a serious note, that sucks, I had Dish for about a year, and they drop channels all the time, DirecTV hardly ever drops a channel. I'd recommend DirecTV. Even if I lived in Bay Area I would still have them, I live in NY where there are no 49ers games on TV, so DirecTV is a must.
My buddy gets the NFL ticket so I just mooch of him during the seasonplus I have red zone...like you said no Niners games in NY.
Yea I usually find a free stream every week so i don't rock with Direct tv. They do have a Niners bar here in DC that i got too once or twice. Working on a way now to stream games over amazon tv with kodi

I live in a rural area and stuck with limited bandwidth, 20 gigs/month can't support streaming 4 nfl games.
