The guys that run the channel changers in sports bars are pretty much ruining football Sundays. They have virtually no working knowledge of the DirectTV program guide. Most of them can't distinguish between the Washington Redskins and the Washington Huskies. Also, sometimes they'll have a low level golf tournament on when nobody is even watching it. If you ask them to change the channel you might get to see your game sometime in the next 30 minutes.
This petition proposes that in order to be licensed to run a channel changer in a sports bar, you have to pass minimum competency in these core subject areas: The DirectTV program guide, pointing the channel changer at the right TV, knowing which receiver the bar's sound system is connected to, college and pro mascots.
