Hi there, @david991 As a sports fan I definitely do understand your concerns, Xfinity had no control over Bally Sports rebranding to Fanduel sports network, that was outside our control since both are not affiliated with Xfinity.-Richard

@XfinityRichard​ I understand that but how is it that I had a subscription to bally and now I don’t to fanduel?? Im still paying the same amount, theres no reason I shouldn’t have a channel just because they rebranded!

@david991 Plenty of sites to watch sports for free out there.  I can't watch Atl Hawks(despite how bad they are) anymore bc I won't pay for Fanduel Sports Network.

Hello, @divid991 Programming and pricing on the channels should have remained unchanged. The FanDuel Sports Networks will remain in the Digital Preferred and Ultimate TV video tier, where they were moved in August. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a direct message:

1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon

2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)

4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

I think it is terrible that I live in Memphis and can’t watch the Grizzlies play without paying extra.  My family would watch all the games on Bally Sports (channel 831).

hi Thomas, I believe I am an ultimate member but don’t have access to the fanduel sports network as a channel and can’t access it through the fanduel sports network app either.

My bill says I have Digital Premier. You say it comes withDigital Preferred but the website does not use those lables anymore. Do I not get it with Premier? I couldn't find any reference to FDSN anywhere either.

Hello user_h7g3ul Digital Premier is comparable to the current Ultimate TV channel package, which does include the former Bally Sport(now FDSN Fan Duel Sports Network) You can say "Bally Sports" or "Fanduel" into your voice remote and be directed to the appropriate channel.

I also don’t appreciate the regional sports being moved to a higher tier and still being charged a regional sports fee. Makes no sense whatsoever.

@XfinityAlfonso​ You said this comes with the preferred package, but that is not the case. There seems to be some confusion about this, because I recently signed a 2 year contract after the store representative assured me I would be able to watch local sports. Now I am stuck in a 2 year deal paying for channels when I can't watch the single thing I bought cable for anyway.

Hey there, user_yfkteo, thanks for reaching out and we want to ensure that you have access to the sports you enjoy! I know we watch a lot of local sports in my household too, and we would be frustrated without them! 

 

FanDuel Networks are available on our Preferred Legacy lineup or Ultimate TV in our current package. Here is a link to the channel lineups, https://www.xfinity.com/learn/channel-lineup-bundles. Are you getting any error messages or what issues are you having with the channels?

The problem is that FSD was free with the Preferred Pkg and continued to be free when it changed to Bally. Then Xfinity cheaped out and bumped it up to the ridiculously pricy Ultimate tier. All major sports teams (NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA) games should be free to watch for "local" markets, as the residents help support those teams! $20/month for the app is a total rip-off!

More like Ripoffery. I am in the same situation with the Miami heat. If they make me use streaming sites often enough they will soon lose a customer.

Yeah this [Edited: "Language"].  Why can’t we watch Heat games? Xfinity, don’t put this on others.  It’s your choice to try to rip us off.

After being unavailable during the network negations, the fan duel channels have reappeared on our main cable box (where Bally used to be) and on Xfinity Stream; however, the fan duel channels are still unavailable on our 3 auxillary cable boxes we have around the house. The question: how do we get the fanduel channels on the smaller aux cable boxes?

I connected the app to Xfinity and it still doesn't show me so the games. How can I get it to refresh and add all the paid content?

user_jca65 thank you for using the Xfinity Community Forums page to reach out and let us know of your concerns. Just to ensure I am understanding correctly, you are referring to the Fanduel Sports Network app, correct?

Having the same issue. Support says I have this in my package and I will have it updated but then they transfer me to a different department. I'm pretty fed up with the support people. Worst customer service I have ever received, first I am transfered to the alarm department, then internet..... FIX IT

I'm in Sarasota Fl, beyond normal channel lineup, I am obliged to pay $20 for Ultimate, my only channel interest being Fanduel, plus Regional Sports fee of $11 to get Rays and Lightning.
$31 a month. Comcast fleecing for sure.

@user_ued5bj​ I think it's [Edited: "Language"] that I have to pay to watch one in-market team. We want Miami Marlins games. That's it. We were [Edited: "Language"] by Xfinity. We used to get Bally for free but putting the squeeze on the consumer is always priority one.
