Fios Dropping Disney 12/31 includes ABC 6

[LegionOfDoom91]

I told FIOS who I currently have, that I have Comcast coming next Saturday it's the earliest , comcast is getting overbooked with people switching.

They gave me triple play 109 and now suprisingly includes Netflix, starz , showtime.

I'm not sure how I will be able to link Netflix with comcast but ill soon find out.

If FIOS gtes a new deal ill cancel comcast coming out.

There app options on the Xfinity boxes now a days. So you can get Netflix right on there.

I don't have anything other than the internet.
I find streams for the games.
I use my mother's netflix account.

I listen to stuff on youtube and other podcasts while I'm working at home.

I've lost interest in TV for about 20 yrs, once Seinfeld went off the air.

Fios internet 100/100, which is overkill, for $70/month
Hulu Live $45/month for Flyers and News
HBO $15/month but only when Thrones is on, cancel it after
Netflix is free through cell provider

My house has an in-law suite and my grandfather lives with me. He's a CNN/MSNBC watcher so that's the only reason I pay for Hulu Live and not just Center Ice for Flyers. Depending on your situation, you could easily do that a lot cheaper.

Also, I don't pay any rental fees for cable boxes and the modem. Equipment below
Google Wifi $260 (highly recommend to anyone with wifi coverage issues)
2 - Roku Ultra $80
Amazon Fire TV $90

I know you didn't ask for all of that but figured I'd include it because you'll have to buy devices etc

Wait, sorry I am a little dense. you get Hulu and get Flyers games? How?
How much do you pay a month?

No worries. Hulu has a live tv package with both NBC Sport Philly channels for $45/month.

Does Hulu live get channel 9?

do you have to live in the philly area to get the philly package

 

[ajgoal]

do you have to live in the philly area to get the philly package

Yes. You have to have an IP address for the local NBCSN broadcast, as well as the local NBC, ABC, etc affiliates. If you lived in DC you'd get the Caps' feed instead. In that case, if all you care about is the Flyers, you'd be better served going with NHL everywhere or whatever it's called.

ETA: Playstation Vue also offers NCBSN (And a MUCH better navigation screen), but I switched to Hulu for access to NBCS+ which Playstation did not offer at the time, and is the location of several Flyers games. Not sure if it's changed.

Sports are pretty much all I watch, I rarely watch TV or movies. I usually use netflix for movies.

really the only show I ever really cared for on regular TV were Seinfeld and M*A*S*H

Fios and Disney have a new deal so all is good now.

The big sticking point is the new ACC network that ESPN will launch on Aug 22, Fios didn't want this, but my guess is they finally gave in.

Disney and Verizon FiOS Disclose Multiyear Deal

Here is the breakdown of the deal, the years aren't posted, but as anticipated ESPN will launch the ACC Network, Aug 22. Fios hasn't said what channel number yet, my guess between

570 and 599.

I can't blame Fios for not wanting this channel for PA NJ NY in an area where no one cares about ACC.
