I returned home after a meeting last night to find my wife fuming that "Glee" wasn't available on Fox 28 per usual. Seems the geniuses at Direct TV & Fox Network are spatting. Which means the channel (which was part of the programming that I receive for a healthy monthly fee) is no longer. Marianne Love weighed in about the subject on her Facebook wall early this morning: It's bad enough that we can't watch 'Glee,' 'House,' the upcoming season of 'American Idol,' and most likely the Super Bowl, but when the disagreeing honchos of the local Fox station and Direct TV screw up our daily reruns of 'Little House on the Prairie,' I get mad. What would Laura Ingalls Wilder do about this?" This reminds me of the squabble between Time Warner & KAYU a couple of years back that cost me a chance to view Boise State's exciting Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma.

Question: Should Direct TV provide some sort of refund for viewers who are now without Fox 28 programming?
