Connecting to Bally Sports

Hi- I am trying to use the Bally app to watch my local team.  The app shows that Xfinity is connected but when I attempt to watch content, it again asks me to connect the provider but then hangs and does not advance or allow access.  I have spoken with their support and they give me generic instruction and when that fails, they just say sorry and contact your provider  I do not subscribe to their service as I should be able to connect as I have in the past.  What do I need to do/. Than you.

@user_qac7s0, thank you for using the Community Forums page to reach out. I am happy to take a look into this issue with Bally Sports that you are experiencing. Are you using the app on a mobile device to access the channel and coming across this issue?

Yes, I am using mobile devices.  The app states it is connected, as does the web access, but it continually circles back and asks me to connect or subscribe.  This occurs both on their mobile app and web access. Same behavior.  Thanks.

@user_qac7s0 Thanks for confirming for us. I’m sorry to hear you're having an issue with the Bally sports app. I went to their website and I am showing the games are for 
Wings(WNBA) Rangers (MLB • TV Provider Only)
Stars (NHL) and Mavericks (NBA).

Have you tried using their website at https://www.ballysports.com/? If not could you test it for us?

When you log in are you using your primary Xfinity username that's associated with your account?

Thanks. I am not offered those games you mention.  It only references local teams associated with my zip code.   Presently the content offered is the WILD postgame reply, and some other highlights and replays.  The replays all simply ask me to subscribe or link tv provider.   The content is identical on the app and their website.   

Yes, I am using my primary xfinity username, and their app and website both indicate that Xfinity is linked as the tv provider in the settings tab, but still continue to ask again when trying to view content.

@user_qac7s0 Thanks for letting me know this log in loop happens with both the Bally app and website. Have you tried clearing the cache and cookies for the Bally website or uninstalling the Bally app? 

Do you have the ability to try a different device such as a laptop or smart tv? Does the issue happen with multiple devices?

Yes, i have deleted the app, and cleared the cookies.  I have cancelled my Bally account and started fresh.  Every time I do so, I reconnect, and then their app says I my device is registered, and my account is automatically signed in and I am ready to watch video.  Then I click on content and I get the same loop to connect the provider.  I have tried multiple devices and browsers as well as the APP.  The behavior is the same across devices.  Presently I am using apple products but it also has the issue on a PC.   I just re-verified.

The devices are fine.  They worked until recently  This problem just showed up in the last month or two.  I can only watch highlight clips or other junk they serve.  I cannot select the items from local sports teams as I was previously able to do.
