Liberal Bob Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Well it has been 3 days that spectrum and the espy folks are at odds with a new contract. All weekend espy has been offline and thus many college games were effected. This upcoming week should be interested with the nil starting. And of course the Bills are on espy for the opener, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I’d say no resolution until week 3 or 4. Just a guess, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 There's another thread on this topic. If you are a Spectrum customer and can get programming on ABC, you should be able to see the Bills on MNF since the game is being broadcast on both ESPN and ABC. If ABC is blacked out, then your ABC station is owned by Disney, so you will have to find a work around to see the game. The other thread has lots of suggestions. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't. You will get access to 5 shopping channels, 2 infomercial channels and 1 political action channel for no extra charge instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePJ76 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 The monday night game is also going to be broadcast on ABC...so as long as you have ABC via cable/streaming or an antenna you will be fine to watch the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call them or do a chat, you will be given a $15 credit applied to next month's bill. I did a chat since their auto attendant is exactly what House quoted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 i stopped paying for cable 20 years ago & have relied on internet streams & torrents to get me thru. I have total freedom & control over what media i consume & have never looked back. Any sporting event, if theres a camera & internet connection, theres a stream out there to watch for free. Companies like Spectrum aka Slime Warner aka Adelphia Cable have a history of mismanaging funds where the customer experience is secondary to their corporate profit margin & dividend. Exec's paid themselves millions while cheating seniors out of paying more due to predatory billing practices. I have no sympathy for the situation they've created for themselves. There's plenty of options available, if you need a place to watch the game, dm me & Eff Spectrum & GO BILLS! 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prorated charges for each missing channel as a portion of your total lineup. Never amounts to all that much, and certainly not for value as no one watches all of their channels equally.

I pay a little extra for the sports package so I can get SNY to see Mets games. As far as Bills games, there’s no difference. If it’s not a nationally televised game, then I’m at the mercy of the local fox/cbs affiliate … just like I was with Spectrum. Between Internet service and Cable, I’m spending about $80 less/month with Fubo vs. Spectrum. Not having the Travel Channel is my only minor gripe.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Hulu+ Live TV offers everything we watch at about $90 less a month, so we're going to ditch Spectrum. They are literally telling sports fans we don't care about you by doing this, and their lame attempt to blame Disney falls flat, saying that they are for "fairness" when they are a part of a virtual monopoly in our area.
