Comcast to lose NFL Network?

skinsfaninok · 03-20-2009, 02:45 PM

I Like DTV, But I only have it through the NFL season, I have Cox Digital Cable the rest of the time. But in Oklahoma all there is are GAYBOYS Games or KC Chiefs games YUCK!!!

I have FIOS and I love it. Had too many issues with DirecTV (windy days, storms, a bird farting on the antenna) and Comcast is a freaking monopoly here in Howard Co. (they used to be the only game in town until FIOS showed up). So far I'm happy with FIOS and I get DC and Baltimore local channels, something I didn't get with Dtv (only got B'more channels with them and it sucked).

That is good to know becasue in Harford County on Comcast I get DC and B-more Fox, I was hoping Fios would be able to do this for me as well. Probably the only thing that would have kept me with Comcast is DC Fox.

I just switched from comcast to fios about a month and a half ago and I'm extremely pleased with it.

From what I've seen, this is the actual message:
"To our Sports Entertainment Pack customers: in spite of Comcast's efforts, the NFL may terminate Comcast's right to carry NFL Network, as a result, the network may be removed from your lineup on May 1."

May be removed.

Not saying the picture isn't gloomy for Comcast subscribers who love the NFL Network...just that there's still some time for a last minute solution

I only order it in-season but still I like watching their games. I am slowly thinking of going back to Directv but I need them to place my disk in a diffrent location this time. We will see I truly hate DircTV and their customer service.

dont do it Direct Tv stuck me with a 465.00 bill for 7 days of service. i had to cancel the service because if the wind blow to hard the tv went out. it sucked bad. finally i let it got to a collection aqency and settled for 350.00 but i still got screwed

DUDE This is no lie I had the same thing placed on me and I fought them tooth and nail through AMEX and BBB. In my office is a framed letter from them saying I didn't have to pay it. It was the best fight of my life!

I doubt Verizon drops the channel.

DTV has better porn channels.

The NFLN people piss me off -- they want to have their cake and eat it too. Ideally they want NFL N on the lower tier packages, yet they want to charge the cable providers the same type of fees as subscription channels. This seems simple to me, make NFL N a subscription channel. Personally, I don't find the channel all that entertaining. Total Access takes an hour to learn what you could see after 5 minutes of reading on ESPN, they replay the same games over and over, top 10 can be solid, and playbook, imo, is all they really have going for them.

I also think it's ridiculous they get exclusive prime time games where some people due to their cable limitations can't see their team play when on in prime time.

They should put NFLN in a package with Sunday Ticket and make it a subscription for cable providers.
