Dtv Subs: Can You Find FNL on Your Guide?
 

FNL is supposed to premiere on The 101 on Oct. 1st.
As of this morning, it's not listed.
When I checked out what is playing on that channel...Toby Keith and Martina McBride have shows scheduled.
I went on Directv.com and they're still plugging it for Oct. 1st.

I actually was checking this exact same thing last night - tried going to some FNL fansites to see if anyone else had noticed it wasn't listed yet, even checked out dbstalk to see if someone had posted. It's definitely not listed anywhere yet and DTV isn't the only one still touting the 10/01 premiere date - the NBC site for FNL has it list too. I figured it was something that pop up closer to the date as the guide data changes, hopefully. Per the NBC and Directv it is supposed to air at 9PM EST but yeah, not listed yet.

I wrote and asked them, here's their response:


Thanks for writing.

I understand the Friday Night Lights is not showing up on your guide. I'd like to let you know that DIRECTV has already identified the problem and our engineers are now working to resolve the issue.

We appreciate your patience and thanks again for writing.


Hopefully, they'll be more successful in fixing this issue than they are fixing
the infamous "blank screen" recording issues.

Hopefully it is as simple as "Whoops, we supplied the wrong guide data for that date and time." Shouldn't be too big a problem unless they actually air something else and piss off all the people who signed up for DirecTV in part because they wanted FNL.

It's funny, once I noticed October 1st programming appearing on my "To Do" list, I started a search for Friday Night Lights for the last 2-3 days and nothing appeared. Hopefully they fix whatever the problem is.
