Barbara Villandry has Super Bowl plans down to a science. For the big game, the Nashua resident will have multiples TVs, including a designated room for those more interested in analyzing commercials.

The only problem? Nothing to watch on NBC.

Villandry is among 200,000 DirecTV subscribers who may be blacked out from watching Super Bowl XLVI, the result of an ongoing dispute between the satellite provider and Sunbeam Television Corporation, which owns the NBC affiliate in Boston. A conflict over retransmission consent fees has prevented DirecTV customers in Greater Boston and New Hampshire from watching NBC since Jan. 14.

About 30,000 subscribers from New Hampshire have been affected.

“I came home 11 days ago to watch the Golden Globes, and I couldn't. Now I have all these people coming to my Super Bowl party, and I don't have a signal. I'm about ready to break the damn television,” said Villandry, a retired communications professor at Hesser College.

On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., asked the Federal Communications Commission to step in and help resolve the ongoing dispute. The game between the Giants and Patriots is set for Feb. 5, to be aired on NBC.

“Through no fault of their own, subscribers have become bargaining chips in these negotiations and are being denied access to the TV programming they've paid to receive,” Shaheen said. “Blacking out the Super Bowl would be a disservice not only to Patriots fans, but also to sports bars and restaurants across Southern New Hampshire that are counting on the game for much-needed revenue.”

Rep. Charles Bass, R-N.H., said he wrote to the chairman of the FCC Wednesday.

“I hope the FCC will clarify or update its rules immediately so Patriots fans are not forced to switch carriers or be left out in the dark on Super Bowl Sunday,” Bass wrote.

Sunbeam seeks an increase in consent fees, according to reports. After DirecTV failed to pay the increase, Sunbeam blocked its signal and left in the dark WHDH-TV (Channel 7) and WLVI-TV (Channel 56).

Villandry was among many of Shaheen's constituents who voiced their frustrations. She is also writing letters of complaint to Sunbeam executives. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, Scott Brown and other public officials have also addressed DirecTV and Sunbeam.

Villandry seems to believe Sunbeam is mostly to blame, but said DirecTV isn't holding up its end of the bargain, either.

“I got (DirecTV) to bring me the Boston stations,” she said, “and they're not providing one of the major stations I signed on to get.”

Paul Fink of Amherst wants to invite friends to his home for the Super Bowl. “People are being held hostage by a corporation (Sunbeam) that runs TV stations in Boston,” he said. “I'm livid.”
