Ok that is dated 3/14. This message just appeared yesterday (3/19) on my comcast. I think comcast has just thrown up their hands and are giving up.

I would think negotiations are ongoing. Both sides have a significant stake in things and working out a deal would be beneficial for all.

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 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 doubt Verizon drops the channel.

Does anyone have Verizon cable in there area? I have it here in PA and i love it.

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

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.

Looks like Comcast and NFLNT can't come to an agreement so Comcast is dropping them. Great. =(

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.

I upgraded two seperate times specifically to get..then to keep it when they bundled it in a sports package..taking it away from normal digital..

Comcast is nothing but a group of insincere banditos..they sold me the upgrade based on the programming..I am thinking of going to the States Attorney's office to find out if I can sever my agreement ...they suck

But I do really like the new Baseball Ch.
