I went with Fubo about 3 years ago, and they're great. NFL/RZ, MLB, NBA, all of the regional sports channels, etc. But they don't have TNT/TBS/TruTV, so I always have to find another option for March Madness, NBA playoffs, etc. I'm not 100% sure they have ESPN+. I checked yesterday just to price them out relative to what I have now and I didn't see it. Maybe @Bier Meister can confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a variety of sports/events, but honestly have not researched specific channels. I am looking at my lineup and see trutv in there.

darin3 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I really need to do my research here. I want to keep DirecTV if at all possible and just add something on my smart TV so I can just get the Redzone. If you have any clue how to best do that, I'll PayPal you enough for a solid 6-pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REZ Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 On 4/11/2023 at 10:14 PM, darin3 said: Yeah I haven't paid for Ticket/RZ in years. I'd just call DirecTV up and whine about how I pay too much and would feign cancellation and I'd always get a lower price, free HBO and Ticket/RZ. One year I even got a $200 Visa gift card to boot. Guess that ain't happening anymore. We love DirecTV (and I need to call and get my fees lowered while I'm on the topic) and would hate to switch to something else. But I MUST have RZ. It's not even debatable. Oh and hey @REZ ... good to see you. You still in PS? I'm headed out there for my big 5-0 in August. I am still in PS. Let me know when you're here and I'll buy you a beer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never lose signal due to weather (thanks, SoCal) and I get a very reasonable price because of my yearly phone call to them to b*tch about the price going up, and I have always been successful in getting free Sunday Ticket Max AND 6 months free of HBO and in some cases even more (like a $200 gift card one year). Now that DTV no longer has the option of Red Zone Channel, I'll have to make a switch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I had Dish TV when I first moved into my home, didn't care for Time Warner Cable and the customer service nightmares I heard about them back then. When I switched providers the dish didn't even come down, its on a shed in the back yard, that points over a fence and doesn't bother me. (Also no wife telling me "that looks ugly take it down".) I did eventually remove some of the wire that was run, but the rest was connected along a gutter line that meant a lot of extra work and potential issues with removing it. My brother still has Dish, lives in a rural area without a lot of other options. I have AT&T U-Verse. Both are not widely used, but then all traditional "cable" type TV is becoming less common as people change to streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done, that is the last straw, finally cutting the cable, calling tomorrow and canceling. Any ideas for what to do for live TV, local channels and the NFL/RedZone channels? Also, need Root Sports for Mariner games and Pac12 for college football. I will do some research and try and figure it all out. What a huge pain the azz!!

You could do Hulu plus live TV or even something with more sports stuff like Fubo TV. Either way you're long overdue for cutting the cord!

I switched my cell service from Verizon to T-Mobile and one of the perks was that they paid for Netflix, free MLB for the year, got me like $10 off my monthly YouTube TV bill and other free things or discounts that I can't think of right now.

stevegrab Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Big John said: NFL Network is back on Comcast after less a day. Appears to have just been the end of their current deal, and Comcast playing hardball to force a resolution. Roger Goodell even got involved to get things ironed out. With the NFL Network no longer having any exclusive live NFL game they might start to have even less appeal. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/Newsletter-Media/2023/05/01.aspx Edited May 2, 2023 by stevegrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Interesting - Comcast sends an email to all their customers that said: NFL Network is currently unavailable Our programming agreement with NFL Network has expired. This means that NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and NFL On Demand programming are currently unavailable through Xfinity. We know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We are committed to bringing you the entertainment you love, and we have made reasonable offers that NFL Network has not accepted. We’ll contact you again if or when the programming is restored to your channel lineup. To learn how we work to bring you great content at the best value we can, visit xfinity.com/howitworks.

If your provider is working to resolve it there is a chance it will come back. When AT&T U-Verse dropped NFLN they made it pretty clear they were not negotiating further and the channel was not coming back. I know its a key source for NFL junkies, while I watch a lot of NFL games and read news, there wasn't much on NFLN for me beyond live games and some of their "replay" options. If I really want it I can access it online, using my brother's Dish TV login credentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
