Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

It seems like Comcast is trying to play hardball and you may be blacked out of some live games, even if you have the Big 10 network as part of your package.

If you're a Comcast/Xfinity customer, call them and let them know you want to see these games live.

I've got YouTube TV so I'll be good, but I'm hoping all my fellow duck fans won't miss out.

I have Xfinity and in order to get the Big Ten Network I have to pay another $10 a month to get it. Pac 12 Network went away - why not just replace it with the Big Ten Network? Used to have the Big Ten Network but they removed it a few years ago in those areas that didn’t have a Big Ten school. Now they aren’t adding it back for these areas that now have a Big Ten school.

This is be a deal breaker for me - plan to switch to YouTube TV when my contract is up.

I'm hoping they come to some kind of an agreement in the 11th hour. I think that happened with Pac-12 network and other cable providers a couple of times too.

I'm cutting my cable literally right now. This is silly.

I was already thinking about cutting cable the instant I learned the Blazers were cutting ties with Root (and likely working on a direct-to-consumer streaming service) but this was the last straw. I won't tolerate a single blacked-out game with all the money I've given Xfinity over the years. Don't care if it's Idaho or Milwaukie High School that we're playing. That's just BS and I don't want to be a part of it lol.

Next stop... YouTube TV!

Luckily there are multiple options to get the Big Ten Network not through Comcast.

Good call! I've really loved YouTube TV for the last few years. I really only care about football so when the season ends I end up cancelling it and then signing back up at the beginning of the next season. It's been great for me though.

I am also looking into Hulu + Live TV since I already have a Hulu and Disney+ bundle. I'd save a bit of money going that route, but I really love YouTube TV's multiview option and they've got 4k streaming and I don't think Hulu offers either of those features so I'm weighing my options right now.

I thought HuluTV has 4k but I’m not 100% sure. I just got YouTube TV and I already love it! I will probably get rid of some of the streaming services but with YouTubeTV you can set it up so it auto records every episode of any show you choose when it airs and you have unlimited storage, so after a while you basically can stream any episode you want. Already got all duck games on the schedule to be recorded! I also got Ziply fiber internet, not having Comcast at all has been awesome! Way faster internet, way better live tv, and it costs less….

I would help you Comcast/Xfinity customers out, but I ditched them for YouTube TV earlier this year.

I dropped cable a long time ago and have been streaming for quite a while. This year, I paid for You Tube tv and have been pleased with it. I will drop it after college football because the money to pay for cable is ridiculous.

Exact same boat, had an appointment scheduled to figure out what I needed to do to get Big Ten, instead I'm just gonna cancel now.

Is this a YouTube TV ad? I'm sold

How does TouTube TV compare with Sling?

YouTube TV has more channels (including your local stations,) unlimited DVR, and a better user interface but Sling TV is cheaper and has most of the channels you need to watch every Oregon game. It really depends on if you're an avid TV watcher and replacing cable entirely or just using one to supplement your current setup. One issue people should know is that the streaming options have a delay of about 25-35 seconds from the live version on antenna and cable/satellite.

Comcast is so stupid. If you have a dying product it seems like you wouldn’t want to make decisions to hasten its death.
