WSVN parent Sunbeam TV had pulled the plug on many subscribers of U-Verse earlier, which was done just before the broadcast of two NFL Playoff games by FOX. This blackout of the channels lasted about four weeks and the subscribers were unable to watch the games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sunbeam has once again sent DirecTV subscribers into their closets in search looking for old remotes, cable boxes, and mobiles in hope of ways to watch Monday night\u2019s \u2018So You Think You Can Dance\u2019 show, as the program is very popular among viewers all across the country. A statement from Sunbeam reminded users on ways to get the channel: \u201cWhile we continue negotiating with DirecTV, viewers are able to watch the station free, over the air, on Channel 7.1 and on other cable and video providers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The statement released by Sunbeam did not explain why they believe that subscribers would move to some other cable TV alternatives, while negotiations are going on with DirecTV. Since the acquisition of DirecTV by AT&amp;T, they have been trying to concentrate on marketing bundle packages. The same team of AT&amp;T negotiates for the right fees of DirecTV and U-Verse, and experts say that the negotiations carried out in the month of January could have helped to smooth out carriage charges issues for both the services.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_873\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-873\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-873\" class=\"wp-image-873 size-medium\" title=\"Satellite TV\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DirecTV-Packages-6-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"DirecTV Packages\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DirecTV-Packages-6-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DirecTV-Packages-6.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Sunbeam TV<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cU-Verse had the earlier contract expiration and based on Sunbeam&#8217;s recent history pulling stations, it wouldn&#8217;t make sense to put any DirecTV homes at risk for no reason, especially during the NFL playoffs,\u201d AT&amp;T representative, Kelly Starling said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sunbeam has a history of blacking out their channels on DirecTV packages.
