ABC Blackout Detroit

I am done with Xfinity. I lost a season of  Detroit Tigers, Pistons and Redwings last year because of their nonsense with FanDuel. Now I'm blacked out of the Pistons game 7 on a station that is literally free over the air. 

I'm figuring out what to do about my Internet and then dropped Comcast/Xfinity forever. Worst company ever!

You can keep Comcast internet and dump TV. Their internet service is good, at least in my neighborhood. If your area has AT&T fiber, it's a great value.

user_p1sjt1 I’m really sorry. That’s incredibly frustrating, especially when it involves your hometown teams. I understand why losing access would feel like the last straw. I want to be transparent that blackout rules and broadcast rights are set by the leagues and broadcasters, not by us directly. Even when a channel is available over the air. That said, I completely understand that doesn’t make it any less upsetting from your point of view. I still appreciate you sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration this has caused.
