JMM Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 What the heck is going on? They just took the 1pm game off and put on other programming. I'm in Elmira on Spectrum cable. Does this mean they are going to blackout the Bills game tonight? Why is ANY game blacked out?? Can somebody help me before I have to try to call these idiots? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 I seem to remember they did this too with preseason games too, but these are regular season games, this has to be a mistake by Spectrum right?? Is anybody else experiencing this in the Elmira Corning area on Spectrum cable? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 my direcTV before the start said the "game not available. but now it has been corrected and the game is live. Hopefully your provider fixes it ASAP or I'd call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills game is on ch.7 tonight idk why they'd not show the early games.

JMM Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 So I just called Spectrum, the rep says they have nothing to do with it and gave me the number to call NFL network. Why do I get the feeling I'm getting the run around and they are going to say it's Spectrum. How ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird though, was initially black screen. I had to flip back-n-forth a couple times to other channels then it popped on. Yeah, Spectrum blows.

JMM Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 So NFL says it's Spectrum of course. And I can get the game on my phone, so that proves it's Spectrum. But that's not the point. I pay for this channel, why am I not receiving these games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 So I called back Spectrum, and you ready for this? This time the rep says that they are experiencing an "outage" because so many people are currently adding the NFL network. I said then how is the NFL network still on, and showing A football life reruns. She said yes, that is the outage, they are trying to restore the game, no time for when it will be resolved. Can you believe this?? So I will either add a streamer like YouTube TV or watch on my laptop tonight. But this is about the last straw with these idiots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yawning Frog Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Maybe there's an NFL rule that the network can only show one game in the market where a game is being played. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I have Fision and I am getting the game on NFL Network no problem. In Florida. If you guys can get this in your area (fibre optic) do it immediately! Makes you realize in 5 seconds how much cable TV sucks. It's yesterday's technology.

Can you believe this?? So I will either add a streamer like YouTube TV or watch on my laptop tonight. But this is about the last straw with these idiots. There are actually two different NFL network program channels. I have Spectrum, and I stream on the Spectrum App on my tv (I have an apple tv receiver, roku and also a smart TV. ) That eliminates paying for Spectrum's equipment. I am watching the Vikings game on the NFL Network on Spectrum via my Apple TV, and I live in Lancaster. If you have a smart TV (or Roku, Apple 4K, etc), you can download the NFL App directly. On that app, you can see what is currently running on the NFL Network. (Their alternate channel for areas where the game is blacked out, is currently showing the Rams vs Raiders game.) On the app, you will have to login through your TV provider...in essence proving you subscribe to the NFL Network. BTW...you can also watch the Red Zone channel on Sundays this way, as well as any games being broadcast in your area via CBS, Fox, etc. 10 minutes ago, TurfToeJam said: Ask spectrum for a courtesy credit do to outage.

Well I don't believe there is any "outage" that doesn't even make sense! I may be calling them alright, to finally get rid of their ass! At least for TV. I just downloaded YOUTUBETV on my TV, 14 day free trial. And it looks GREAT! Seems to have all the channels we watch, including the local ones. If I keep it I would be saving almost $100! This may have been a blessing in disguise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
