Also, Im thinking of going from directv to comcast xfinity.

[Smokindawg]

This diretv espn bs.  Got me looking.  With directv they limit me to 4 tvs at once with comcast i cane have 6 going at once. 5 of the boxes would be wireless. Roughly the same progamming. I already have xfinity internet so tv would be bundled for one bill.  The price is within 10-15 of each other.  Any yall got xfinity like or dont?

I had them for years, they go way up after contract is up, you gotta call and negotiate with them at that point, can’t do much online. I just dropped direct stream and went to YouTube TV..unlimited in home streams, 3 away from home..

Internet is with ATT Fiber..

My Direct doesn't expire until the end of the month, after that, I won't need Bally's...I'm banging away and saving more money....until the next switch is needed...I will say being able to handle things online is so much easier than arguing with the Xfinity rep in Pakistan. My bill with those fockers was right at $300 for internet and TV..they wouldn't budge...I'm around $150 now total.


On a side note, I could get Bally's for $19 per month and still be money ahead IF I needed it.

I wouldn’t go that far, took me too long to get enough of Xfinity..Fiber availability was what made it happen..

Bally's charging $19 a month for regional pro sports on a standalone app is crazy to me.  I guess you can cancel between seasons, but they are an outlier in the pricing model.

True on all counts..not sure how long they will be around in their current state..

I switched from Comcast/Xfinity to Direct TV Streaming. Comcast bill was right at $300 a month, Direct is $145 for TV and AT&T fiber optic internet. I'll wait on them to work out things with Disney. I'll watch the ABC games over the air and I'll find somewhere to watch the ESPN games.

[hitdawg]

have xfinity for a long time.  They all piss you off at some point.  Generally happy.  They are high price and they had the braves blocked out for most of the season.  Almost moved when it was added back.

[RockmartDawg]

Just know that the Direct TV - ESPN issue is not a Direct TV issue. It is a Disney issue. They did the same exact thing to Comcast in the not-so-distant past. They have done it to multiple TV service providers. Don't hold it against Direct TV. Somehow Disney needs to pay their dues for all of their garbage.

If you get TV through Xfinity, try to somehow document what you agree too or want.  They will not send you a confirmation.  And if you add TV I'd try and make sure they send an actual TV box and not the streaming box to use with Xfinity Stream.  F'ing sucks IMO. 

I was staying at a buddy's place last football season, and that's what we setup.  It was a nightmare all around.  And for some reason his internet kept freezing up.  Missed the Bowers pass for the AU game. 

This year, I've went with YoutubeTV.  So far I like it a lot better.  Granted, the Xfinity internet at my house is very stable.  Think I've had one outage in over a year.
