Uverse Blackout - Alternate Stream Today ?

[Room510]

Looks like FoxGo will not offer the game today for Uverse customers.  Anyone know of an alternate stream available ?  Don't want to be stuck in a bar watching you know who on CBS.

Uverse has replaced the game with The World Dart Championship! 

I'm not sure what to think about that.

[PGsHeroes32]

So the game won't be on TV?

Better off not to think about it.

For those who have u verse.

Call, tweet, email U Verse and let them know you will be switching if it isn't resolved, even if you don't intend to. Put some pressure on them and hope that the NASCAR fans do the same.

Why do that? U Verse didn't change anything that they do. They didn't make any demands of Fox Sports. They didn't take anything off the air.

This is a Fox Sports issue.

Unfortunately, we have to hope NASCAR fans speak up, because there are not enough of us for them to care.

Because Fox isnt going to cave. U Verse might if they start losing customers.

So whenever one side in an agreement changes their demands, should the the other side automatically cave?

[BM1090]

Nope. But as a viewer, the side we should take is obvious. Fox isn't going to cave, so U verse customers have three choices:

1. Complain and hope that U Verse caves.

2. Switch Providers.

3. Don't watch MU games.

I'm not willing to do #3, so the path is obvious. Not saying it's right, but if you want to watch MU games then that's the path you have to take. AT&T gets a raw deal, but that's the way it is.

I make no promises, but this is usually fairly reliable.

All true, just remember than when your rates go up and the bitching starts again.  You can't have it both ways.

Thanks its working for me

Agreed. Just don't think there is a better alternative.

[SERocks]

I tried my Fox Sports Go here at the office and signed in with my Time Warner credentials and it tells me I am not authorized to watch the game.  I was able to watch prior games on Fox Sports Go.  *&#$% TWC.  I am so sick of the garbage.  Good Luck MU.  Beat Providence.

Happy to help when I can.

I believe that is a FSGO issue.  I run into it all the time with Comcast.  Works some days, not others.

[SERocks]

Whatever it is, it is !@(#*$^!(%$ing retarded.  Ugh.

No sympathy for Uverse on today's issue.  I singned up with them this fall and was assured they would be carrying FS1 so I could watch the Big East.  Feels like bait and switch.

Doubt the sales rep was in the know on every contract they have with content providers to tell you *maybe* they wouldn't have college basketball on FS1 come March 1. 

Fox can have my sympathy when they get better distribution - a bunch of the providers either don't have it or it's still on higher tiers, GO is still a crummy app, they aren't on Sling.TV and don't have a standalone service like CBS, yet they still play hardball with all their providers.

You still have fs1. They are just withholding select events. U Verse has done nothing to breach their agreement with you. It is Fox Sports that will not give a t t the feed

No way for Uverse to know.  That's why if you read EVERY distributor agreement which you agreed to when you signed up for service  "programming subject to change without notice".  No bait and switch at all, you simply have to read.

The reason every distributor puts that in is because of the games the content providers play, and this is just one example.

Probably an upgrade in quality compared to what we saw against Providence. Go Darters!

[Room510]

Ok media experts - what do you suggest a consumer who would like to be able to see all the MU games should do ?  Sign a contract but the fine print says they can drop the content at any time without notice.  If I treated the customers in my business like this, they would not be my customers very long.  Cable and dish companies only get away with this because the choices are limited and they all stink.  Lousy system for the consumer, hope it gets disrupted soon.
