Here, during what is definitely supposed to be the “most dramatic finale ever”, Direct TV subscribers who happened to be fans of The Bachelorette are left on the outside because of a dispute between Direct TV and Disney (who owns ABC).

Disney’s channels are currently blacked out by Direct TV, meaning no Jenn Tran finale for those subscribers.

And they went to social media to let their feelings be known…

Excuse me…. I’m trying to watch the #bachelorette finale @DirectTV please explain! @BacheloretteABC #bachelorettefinale pic.twitter.com/ea7YNQgWdN

Remember: ABC is offered over the air for nothing in many TV markets. Just use the tuner on your TV settings or external antenna to pick up a signal

As you may have seen on some of the tweets, this is also effecting sports coverage for Direct TV subscribers.

And all we’ve got coming up is the opening of the NFL season.

What do you think? Are you a Direct TV subscriber? Let me know in the comments.
