Here in Denver, we HAD Fuel TV when it was still on (It was buried among the movie channels like TVOne is & in SD only but it was there).  But then Comcast (For some strange weird reason) decided to yank it in favor of......Drum roll please.....A BIG FAT NOTHING !!!   I'm not even sure if Fuel ever was in HD but now that it's Fox Sports 2 - AN SD ONLY FOX SPORTS 2 IS BETTER THAN NO FOX SPORTS 2 AT ALL (Get the message Comcast ??)   They also have a history of letting YEARS go by before TOUCHING the lineup (Let alone add channels to it).  The wait we had to endure to get ESPNU & ESPN Goal Line/ESPN Buzzer Beater are just two examples of this   I also fondly remember (Rather DUBIOUSLY I might add) how Altitude Sports was added.  They kept the channel OFF THE AIR (Even though channel 25 & 725 were set aside for it) until the start of a Denver Nuggets home game telecast (If memory serves, it was the SECOND game of the season with the firsat one being NOT available because Comcast hadn't added Altitude by then.  THIS TICKED OFF A LOT OF FANS because Carmelo Anthony was still a young NBA sensation back then).     When the game DID start & Altitude FINALLY got on the air on Comcast, they had the CEO on as a guest during the game & ONLY THEN it was announced that while we were left sitting in the dark wondering if we would have to endure missing YET ANOTHER Nuggets game because they were now on Altitude & not on FSN Rocky Mountain (Now ROOT Sports), THEY WERE NEGOTIATING A CARRIAGE DEAL RIGHT UP TILL NEARLY GAME TIME !!!   Those of you who live in the Denver area (Or lived here back then) might remember this better than I described.  If so, please chime in :D   MORAL OF THE STORY - It wasn't the way to score points with us customers THEN & it's NOT the way to score points with us customers NOW Comcast.  A LOT of things have changed in the nearly 20 years since this, but Customer Relations IS NOT ON THAT LIST !!!    Now as for Al Jazeera America, that (Contrary to what is undoubtedly popular belief among Blaze TV fans) WAS NOT a new channel added by Comcast.  Al Jazeera bought AN EXISTING channel ALREADY IN THE LINEUP (Current TV) & turned that channel into Al Jazeera America.     COMCAST HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH IT OR ANY SAY IN THE MATTER AS THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONTRACT WITH THE NETWORK !!!   I know many of you Blaze TV freaks will NEVER believe a Liberal like me so I submit to you these sources of information (Take them however you please).....   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_tv http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_America   Now back to sports :D   Cheers :)   PC ...

It's on here in the Denver Area (But you need the Digital Sports package to get it though)   Hey Comcast - Tennis is NOT the NFL !!  You might wanna consider replacing NFL Network on channel 168 with Tennis Channel.  I'm HARDLY a tennis fan but I do know a thing or two about sports networks & the sport they cover though :D   Cheers :)   PC ...

epurman -   If you have an Android with Flash, you shouldn't have a problem with streaming video AT ALL !!!  If your device DOES NOT support Flash, you can circumvent that by downloading the Skyfire web browser (It's the default browser on my T-Mobile Samsung Exhibit II) & the Skyfire Video License Key from GP   While the browser itself is free, the video license is not (But it's not expensive either).  Here's where you can download each.....   SKYFIRE BROWSER - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyfire.browser&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5za3lmaXJlLmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..   SKYFIRE VIDEO LICENSE KEY - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyfire.browser.license.video&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNreWZpcmUuYnJvd3Nlci5saWNlbnNlLnZpZGVvIl0.   The video license key is used by the browser to display video via landscape mode & does quite well (Sometimes it's EVEN BETTER than using Flash itself)   Hope this helps.....   Cheers :D   PC ...

ComcastJoe   We are referring to BOTH the WatchESPN app (Which you only have the link for iPhone/iPad & NOT the Android version (Which I'll be glad to provide)) **AND** the Xfinity.com/TV website you mentioned because THEY ARE ONE & THE SAME   Translation - THEY ARE NOT DIFFERENT   That said - Here's the link to the Android version (Since SOMEONE obviously forgot to do their job correctly when WatchESPN support was rolled out) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.WatchESPN&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImFpci5XYXRjaEVTUE4iXQ..   You will find that IT DOES stream video.  All we need is for Comcast/Xfinity to be added to the list of providers.  HOW HARD IS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THAT TO DO ???  Surely it can't be THAT hard to do or take THAT long to get done (But alas, we live in a world of CORPORATE KNUCKLEHEADS who have a propensity to take what should be THE SIMPLEST of tasks & TURN THEM INTO MAJOR GIGANTIC ORDEALS >:( #Grr )   Cheers :D   PC ...

WHY does it have to be streamed through Comcast?  WHY can't you just simply have Comcast/Xfinity as one of the listed providers like all the other ones are?   It's NOT like we are sent by the WatchESPN app to the Xfinity website to get a player ya know   When I first used the app, I "Lied" to the app by choosing NO PROVIDER at all (It has this option).  This gives you a free preview for a limited period of time.  AT NO POINT was I directed to ANY website (Not even ESPN's own website).  I was simply given a list of what was on each ESPN channel at the time & a choice as to which one I wanted to watch.  From there, the BUILT-IN app player was brought up & (After a brief buffering time) I was watching ESPN (I forget just which channel I picked at the time now though)   In any case, HOW HARD IS IT for you guys at Comcast to understand/comphrehend that YOU CANNOT CONTROL OR DICTATE THE DISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT BROADCAST OR STREAMED BY CHANNELS NOT OWNED BY COMCAST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO ???   JMO.....   Cheers :D   PC ...
