? for direct tv customers - UFC

Did you guys not get to see the beginning of the first 30 seconds of the first fight on Saturday(UFC 64)? I have cable and I lost the feed a few times. Just curious.

GeorgeM · October 16, 2006, 10:59am

Yes, something wrong with the feed from vegas. I was pissed.

glock4life · October 16, 2006, 11:06am

Yeah there were a lot of technical difficulties.

Alex101 · October 16, 2006, 11:06am

So it was direct tv too? Wow, I was going to call and get my cable service cut and get direct tv installed later this week, LOL! Thanks.

I had just had my Directv switched to a HD DVR satellite that day and connected to a new plasma TV. I thought those bastards hooked something up wrong!

It blipped off on cable too :(

I just figured that the UFC was trying a new way to rip me off.

There were aspect ratio problems for the first 30 minutes or so as well - the video on my screen looked like it was stretched out and was giving me a serious headache! I think it was fixed about halfway through that barnburner with Kongo and Marrero ;)

steyr_223 · October 16, 2006, 12:39pm

Yes, we had the same problem with our DirecTV..

The_Elastic_Assassin · October 16, 2006, 12:41pm

MattBenwa i noticed that too.......

LS6TT · October 16, 2006, 12:48pm

Same here, bunch of issues.

vale_tudo_2 · October 16, 2006, 2:36pm

So the slam footage doesn't exist?

Attila · October 16, 2006, 2:38pm

All my guests were yelling at ME! LOL

Ring_Girl · October 16, 2006, 2:44pm

Yep, had the same problem watching it in LA, too.

THE_CAPTAIN · October 16, 2006, 3:25pm

REFUND! Nah it was worth it.
