COMCAST BLACKOUT.....?

Post by tribeofjudah »

Can one of you smart folks tell me why Comcast's "Sportsnite" and "Sportsrise" programs are BLACKED OUT here in the West Coast? I'm a Skins fan in Cali, and I'm thrilled to have DirecTV, but while most programs are shown on channel 629, the Sportsnite and SportsRISE is completely Blacked Out.

I hope this is temporary.... or is this a directive from the Danny? He sure has a tight clamp on how much REDSKINS he wants to show before the season begins. Am I wrong.....? I bought this package and the NFL pass just to see MY REDSKINS.... Comcast has the best coverage right now.....

COME ON.....................MAN?
Somebody help me....

I also live in Socal and have never had a problem with that. You may have had a blackout from a game going late or something like that. I've never seen that and I have had Comcast Sports net for 5 or so years.

I have Directv and at 1 on Sunday morning I sat down to get my Skins' news fix and encountered what you did. I was so steaming mad I called Directv to find out why and I was told that Comcast has disallowed other providers from using those shows. Somehting about outbidding them. The lady couldnt give me much details other than telling me I wouldnt be seeing them anymore.
So Comcast truly is the evil empire. I just hope and pray Redskins Post Game Live is not blacked out either.

Call up your provider and complain. I got a 10 dollar credit for a year.
May #21 never be worn again by another Redskin but may every Redskin play like they are wearing #21 on their backs.

I would be curious to know if you have tried to watch the program in the last day or 2. If you are still recieving it. Please let me know which provider you have.

I just called Directv and was told that it's a Comcast decision.
It's crazy because I did not have this problem last year. I really hope this is temporary......... Pre-season BS on Comcast......

I don't think it's temporary bud. Like I said, Comcast is evil... It's why I switched in the first place.

Also, this has very little to do with the Redskins, thus the move
