DirecTV had a similar situation with Versus several months back that went on for months. Versus had exclusive rights to the NHL games they showed, so I missed some home games that were blacked out on ComCast's local channel.

Pretty much each side blamed the other....DirecTV said that the new asking price Versus wanted would add 2 cents (that's right....2 cents) to the monthly bill of each customer, and they didn;t feel it was fair to pass along that price increase to all their customers since some didn't watch Versus. I called
