FiOS NOT carrying CBS?? Therefore NO Bills Game Broadcast!!!


Never NEVER Give-up

Recommended Posts

I solved it the easy way... I'm going to a friends house who has Spectrum. Otherwise I'd use the antenna to get WIVB.

 

In any event, find a solution. I think the Verizon/Nexstar spat will take some time to settle. Nexstar is increasing their rate 65%. That's some wild inflation Verizon will pass onto the consumer.

I would just sign up for Paramount+ to get the live CBS broadcast.

It's only $5/month and you can just cancel after the season.

Thanks, good idea, though, I may be able to get a free trial…

Also, hopefully, WIVB (Ch 4) gets off the schneid and urges Nextar and FiOS to come to an agreement!!

You can sign for nfl+ and get games on regular tv in your area

I have that too and I get mixed results. The games that you have access to are random and sometimes they will work on your phone but not a smart tv. You have no way of knowing what games are available until after they start.

Yep CBS does this all the time.  They have done it to Spectrum and dish and now Fios.  There was warnings on the screen during our last game that it was going to happen.  I have Spectrum but if I had Fios I would probably just get CBS all access like I did when they pulled before.  Fairly cheap and get the game.  I think its called Paramount+ now and not CBS all access but same thing.

I doubt there are any antennas left on the shelves in western New York by now. Spectrum has a roku app. 

Not to mention I'm sure there are FIOS customers in this market who are not within OTA range.

Cannot believe people still pay for cable.

Get some decent internet and a Super Box for $300 one time cost, and watch every NFL, MLB, NBA NHL, game, anything that is out there, any sport, movie, doc, HBO anything and everything live. Been doing it for years.

Paramount guys.  Covers cbs. Not too much like $9-10/mo.  Just cancel after the season.  You can watch live in 10 

minutes.  What is that $30-40 and cancel.  You can spend more in a day at a wings joint.

The basic tier (which still gets you the CBS NFL games) is only $4.99 a month actually. (No tax either)

It is beyond silly for the TV stations to be allowed to charge the customers (via Verizon) for a product that is based on their free receipt of a unique FCC license worth hundreds of millions of dollars.  

Exactly. NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox are “over the air” and should not be able to double dip!
