Here in FL just talked to Comcast

[bwifan]

Currently BTN not available, rep said they are working out the legal issues. No idea if/when it will be available... Praying for a late Friday 5pm magical deal appear to get it done ....

Find a streaming service that includes BTN and has a free trial period. Sign up now so you can iron out any bugs in advance.

Do you have bulk Comcast cable bwifan? I know comcast has good internet, but you do have other options. Uverse here in Jup and no problems.

Some online link will surface to watch it pirate style. Do you have a firestick? You could possibly install Uverse app (w/ my log-in) on your phone and cast to your telly.

Mixed messages from Comcast -- out of the footprint --
BTN probably not available until late Sept. as a separate channel // maybe and/or // BTN games will be broadcast on FS1 channel until BTN channel issues are resolved.
Contact with Comcast supervisors yesterday in SW FLA. Who knows...…...

Also spoke with Comcast, suggested I try www.xfinitystream.com then log in with my xfinity login info. Was then told I could transfer the picture to my TV; haven't tried yet. Anyone have experience with this?

Good idea our HOA fee includes Comcast ... Friend in Delray has a dish and is a PSU grad so that is my backup plan

BTW -- the BTN channel will be added to the Sports and Entertainment package without an increase in price. Nice try Comcast, they already increased the price on that package. Brian Roberts is ex-officio Chairman now and the new Pres. is cracking down -- so the insiders say.

I haven't missed a game in years so I am panicking, will hit one of the local bars here in SW FL but for what it is worth, just spoke with Comcast rep who said they expect an agreement 8/31. I do pay for the Sports and Entertainment Pkg. (9.95) and what junk: NFL Red Zone, CMT (that's country music - I asked , rep said well they show rodeos), Crime (something or other), Military History, TV Games, PAC 12, ESPN goal line; not too impressive a lineup.

Bwifan, does Comcast have FS1 in Florida. If yes, you can stream all BIG games on Fox Sports GO. You can even get it with any internet connection. You can get it on Amazon Prime ( fire stick) or many other streaming platforms. Just use Comcast sign in. I don't know if Comcast can shut this off or not, you will have to check it out. Good luck

Ha, ha, that's a good one! Like they would have reduced the Sports and Entertainment package price after removing BTN!
Sports and Entertainment package used to be a reasonable $5 a month. Then it crept up to $7 or $8, now it's a whopping $9.95. I haven't subscribed in years. There are a few games I'd like to see but I go "old school" and listen to the audio feed, supplementing with GameTracker or ESPN. Usually a few days later the game is on Youtube, I download it and watch it then.

I don't understand the thing about possibly broadcasting the BTN games on FS1 'cause you would think that would interfere with games scheduled to be on FS1. I think Comcast is, as usual, blowing smoke. That is one thing they're exceedingly good at.

Fox Sports Go carries all BTN shows since the BTN is produced by Fox Sports.
