I am a Dish Subscirber and a die hard hockey fan. I would switch carrier only for the NHL but agree with the comment, Versus needs Direct a lot more then the other way around. It’s still a growing network that deserves a lot more but it is far from being an ESPN yet.

I have had direct tv for 10+ years. First UT football game was on versus which was dropped by Direct tv the prior week. I Paid Per View $30.00 to see the football game on direct tv and the game was cut off at 9:00 pm Central in the THIRD Quarter. Apparentely I paid direct tv for 3 hours only not the entire game. After many frustrating calls to “Tech Support”, tough luck not our fault the usual no refund.

I signed with direct because of the outstanding outdoors and sports that versus has. If you can’t resolve this problem very soon I am not going to contiue to pay for a service you are charging me for.
I really enjoy my direct service, but I am not going to play money games very long Please think of your loyal viewers

The only reason I went with Direct TV was because you had the PBR. Now I see no reason to keep you

This happened when we were with Dish Network and we switched over to Direct TV as a result. We are unable to get Cable, even if we wanted it. This seems unfair to Rural America who provide a great many viewers. We get nearly all our sports on this channel, including the only access to Professional Bull Riding.

The NHL, IRL, PBR and others should be able to back out their contract with Versus, if Versus is unable to provide the ~18 million Directv viewers they promised. I will miss it, but not switch back to cable. Ever.
