NO SERIE A IN USA PLEASE HELP!

[Visca]

The weekend schedule isn't up yet, but from what I can tell, Inter won't be shown on beIN this weekend anyway (at least not live, it clashes with the Madrid game and I would bet they take priority). So no one is missing out yet.

They really do need two channels tbh, like FSC and FSC+. There is no way to show three leagues on just one channel. Guessing unless this happens, the only time Inter will be live is if 1) doesn't clash with Barca or Madrid; then 2) doesn't clash with Juve and probably Milan too (at least on FSC, they both seemed to get priority over Inter the past couple seasons). Hell they might even pick PSG over Inter, who knows.

Actually I think they are definitely planning on releasing another channel. IMO three would be ideal lol but I doubt thatll happen

 

[Visca]

Hope that is true, honestly don't think having only the one channel is good for Serie A fans at all, or for fans of anyone not Barca or Madrid for that matter.

Anyway I've had the channel for about a week now and it has a lot of potential to be a good network, just needs to work some things out.

Another tid bit I found from someone following the situation.

"I’m still lurking forums for more information on carriage deals. An announcement could be made by Thursday that AT&T U-verse and possibly Time Warner*Cable will include the network in their lineups. AT&T has supposedly been a done deal for a week, but the network is waiting to confirm TWC. I don’t think Verizon will carry beIN any time soon and Comcast is still questionable. This is obviously not official, but these posters and their “sources” have been correct so far, so that’s encouraging."


Soooooo decent news for uverse and TWC people and uneasy news for the others

Guys guys guys guys CALM DOWN FOR A SECOND.

It's still on Rai Italia. That's something, at least. Might not be English commentary, but still Serie A.

Bein Sports official twitter page: "Good news for Xfinity/Comcast customers. Stay tuned for more updates, & as always we appreciate your patience."

Yeah I just saw that as well.....so fucking stupid

 

[Visca]

Yet they will show the Juve match three goddamn times wtf

I don't understand why they need to replay matches instead of showing new ones, almost everyone has a DVR nowadays and can record it to watch later themselves. Or just replay them during the week when there are no new matches on.

Congrats comcast subscribers =/ AT&T still not on board yet :fffuuu:

WTF is this shit?

So no more Serie A on FSC. Does this mean ESPN3 will no longer show the matches either?

And for those with Comcast, is there a way of watching the matches online? I have FIOS, but I have 'access' to a Comcast account, which allows me to access stuff like HBO Go via my FIOS connection by logging in with a Comcast account.

Inter game is not on fios fox soccer this weekend. Not any serie a just epl and epl replays... Time to make a phone call.

Okay so multiple things here first things first ESPN3 won't be showing shit anymore. So we're all shit outta luck when we wanna watch it that way. BeIN sport is the only thing that has a possibility to air it (and it seems like they're not) so we might be screwed period.


I'm not sure if beIN has some sort of online streaming site, but I'm pretty sure they don't, so unless you have a slingbox, I highly doubt you'll be able to watch online. Not like a slingbox will be useful since they don't even air the games live, at least at the moment.

I figured BeIn wouldn't have their own site for streaming, but Comcast/Xfinity stream content online through their own site and since all the articles mentioning Comcast getting Bein say that the content will be available online, I'm curious how that will work.

But wait, BeIn doesn't even show live games?

 

[Visca]

Depends on the game. Some are live and some delayed.

Well they have to share Serie A with La Liga & Ligue 1 meaning that inter has to compete with PSG, Real Madrid, Barca, Juventus, Milan, Even Napoli and Roma cuz they're replaying the napoli game but not ours

 

[FORZAINTERMILAN]

Fuck beIN sport! I have Charter Communication. I call them everyday. They are like we are working on it. Fuckin hurry up

 

[Kakaroto]

Fuck beIn Sport. They are not showing Inter's game and now my computer is fucked up too.

I knew this wan't good news when you have two leagues that play their best games at the same time.

Call that network and tell them we want Inter's game too.

The Network looks very good but man I hope the divide the two channels they have so they can accomodate everybody. Tell people to use the SAP botton so they don't have to show the same games on both networks just for the language.

 

[Visca]

yeah that's what I was thinking... you've got two channel spaces, fucking utilize them. I knew when this was first announced that fans of any club not Barca or Madrid would get short-changed. Only reason Fiorentina-Udinese and Juve-Parma are being shown live is because they play on Saturday and Barca and Madrid play on Sunday. Hate to be the bearer of further bad news, but Inter-Roma next weekend overlaps with both Madrid and Barca so guess who probably won't get shown live?

As a Barca fan I'm glad to be able to see all of our games but I think fans of other clubs deserve to see their team's games on TV too.

 

[Visca]

I just wrote to beIN and suggested them to use SAP instead of one English and one Spanish channel, that way more games can be shown. They probably won't listen (who does?) but it can't hurt. Maybe more should do the same.
