Try posting a message to ComcastTeds. He may be able to get you an accurate assessment. I personally would call Comcast at 1-800-COMCAST. It does come with the sports and entertainment pkg, but you have to add it for 4.99. If you add it to the pkg. today you should be able to get the games today.

flight8 · ‎09-06-2018

Cold. I so agree. You must have enjoyed your trip to Big 10 Country. Love BIG10 country. especially in the fall.

flight8 · ‎09-05-2018

Tedk Sent you a private messafe PM. I think I clarified it. To me, I do believe I am paying twice. Once for the pkg. and once for the BTN to be added back into the pkg.

flight8 · ‎09-05-2018

Woody, It seems to me like it should be. Those of us out of footprint have to pay for not only the sports and entertainment pkg in the top tier but also have to pay $ 4.99 extra to have it at all.

flight8 · ‎09-04-2018

DKS, Yes, definitely. Biggest start of BTN in the country, not to say there aren't many others. Interstate system brings everyone from main B10 area straight into FL whether east coast or west.

flight8 · ‎09-04-2018

We now have all our services back and price only went up $ 4.99 which was what I was paying before I cancelled out BTN portion AFTER Comcast dumped BTN. Thanks to ComcastTeds we have all our services back up and running.

flight8 · ‎09-04-2018

Thanks to COmcast Teds we now have all our services for Big 10 back and working including the BTN2GO.

flight8 · ‎09-04-2018

Teds, Thanks so much. I just tried logging in and it is back. Great job in helping me. It really is appreciated. When anyone is away from their Favs and can't watch them; it's tough. Glad to have been on the forum for Comcast on this and so glad our team won BIG Sat. Hope to continue to get to now see all the games thanks in part to your great job with connection.

flight8 · ‎09-03-2018

But you do know everything is back on except the BTN2Go.

flight8 · ‎08-31-2018

"Thanks Needz" My BTN2Go is missing and I tried to get it. I could not long into The BTN2GO.comdevicereg. on Xfinity. They told me it might be a week to bring the streaming in line. I thought if the Channel was back on the BTN2GO should be available. Hope Comcast Ted can give me a remedy.

flight8 · ‎08-31-2018

"Comcast Ted, Can you by any chance tell us when the BTN2Go app will be available streaming again. I called today after I could not get it. I have always been able to. What gives" ??

flight8 · ‎08-31-2018

"needz, you need to call Comcast and re-add the BTN channel. Here in South Florida there are two. Standard is 742 and HD is 1313. The cost to re-add is $ 4.95 per month and gives you the entire pkg.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

"agrote53, back in the thread. Comcast Ted has posted them at least twice"

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

AGROTE I would think that it should be back on by now, but if not possibly tomorrow as several are listed for tomottow. Sorry I can't give a better answer but hope Comcast Ted does.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Hope by now everyone has it or will have it by tomorrow. @rkblinn wrote: When is the Big Ten Network returning to Florida? We live in an area with lots of snowbirds from Ohio and other Big Ten states, and we NEED the BTN! We have ours in South FL but had to re-add the BTN channel to the Sports pkg as I had cancelled it when Comcast took it off the air.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Do you really think that this would have happened if people hadn't really given the Push-Back on it? I do have my doubts. When you know there are millions of college football fans on any given week end at college football games it was definitely time for Comcast and FOX to step up. I do however, feel that Fox and BTN are the ones who worked the deal, not Comcast. They just needed comcast avail to transmit.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Just saw where MASS should get it Friday 8/31.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Did I mention that HD is one of the two stations that are now avail. in most areas.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Hope yours is back on by now. Upgraded ours this AM to readd the BTN which I had removed in July. It is now on down here in SOFLA.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

John, Hope by now you knw that many of us have gotten our BTN service back. Please check yours. You possibly may have to update the sports and entertainment pkg (nominal fee) but it is back on in Florida.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Hope by now your BTN is up and running. Ours is back on in South Florida.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Forgot to mention that the other OSU could probably beat both of ours this year, however, we don't play them this season.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Hope you made sure that yout sports and entertainment pkg was up to date. I had to re-add mine.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Eastmoreland. Hope my OSU is the one you like. At any rate, Comcast finally got us back up and for that we should be grateful. Have a great week end of football. I would imagine that in Oregon the leaves will be changing colors and beautiful football weather.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Channel 1313 is the HD Channel and 742 is the standard. Also, just a reminder that you have to have your current Sports and Entertainment pkg. updated if you had cancelled BTN previously.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

South Florida. Trying now to get it back into our actual Comcast line-up once again. We do have to pay extra for the BTN but worth it.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

We also have it avail. on 742.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Keep checking. It may come up today, yet. Ours is back on.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

It has been readded back into FL and several other states. You do have to readd the BTN though if you had preveiously cancelled it. ComcastTed did say that other states were also added but I do not know which one.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

I did forget to mention that the BTN channel has to be readded back into the line up on your Cable pkg.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Thank you. Both the BTN games we were looking for for this week and next are on BTN on our 1313. You help with this was certainly appreciated in our household.

flight8 · ‎08-30-2018

Yes, great but not on BTN. I think we have all been had.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Comcast Ted did say that it certainly wouldn't be by this week end and he would notify us when it is avail. Time for us all to say goodbye Comcast.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

But those are not the games being offered in our area on FS1 for the dates offered.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

But currently we outside of the footprint of the Big Ten have very little access to Big Ten games through Comcast Broadcasts. We can only get them when they are on National Broadcast channels like ABC and ESPN and an occasional Big 10 game being broadcast through Fox or FS1. You don't need to try to tell us that it is avail. when we all know it isn't and it seems you have no idea when it will be. If you did I would hope you would have the decency to tell us where and when we will be able to add it back into our line up. Most of us to already have your Sports and Entertainment pkg. and only cancelled the BTN channel after COMCAST removed it from their broadcast. As I told you previously, I personally was having to pay for it twice a month so I could get it.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Yes, and I will certainly watch what is avail. I am just saying that some games; example Rutgers/OSU on 9/8 or Kent State on 5/1 are NOT available in our South Florida area.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Comcast Ted, The information that I posted is what was given to me by FOX SPORTS. They said that the only games that would be telecast on FOXSPORTS or FS1 are not the BTN channel but games that were being played on their sports channel. Yes, they are indeed Big 10 games but I actually did confirm it by trying it. I have had BTN with Comcast for years and it was Comcast that removed it from their line up, not FOX. I will gladly put it back onto Comcast if you can guarantee I will receive all the games on any given Sat. However, that is currently not the cast in "out of the footprint areas".

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Opurt Can't seem to get to your last link to reply but I did read it and totally agree. If I do try it I will use my BTN2Go app, but so far locally it hasn't worked. Just have to find someone up north who is on Comcast.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Comcast Ted, WHEN. When I said NO, that was for the 8/30 games. Unless we are notified that BTN is actually back in the Sports and ent. pkg noon of us will continue to pay for it. Just paying to carry the sports and ent. should be enough.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Opurt, Once again, for those who do not know, that is only on FOX SPORTS GO showing the same thing that is currently playing on the telly.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Comcast Ted, Doesn't it depend more on the area where the Comcast customer resides, not entirely on their level of service. I am at the highest level of service, residing in South Florida and No BTN. All that I am getting is FS1 and only 2 games on Sat. Is there no way that you can honestly provide us with a little further info? I cancelled my BTN after you cancelled carrying it. Now if you can honestly tell me that if I call Comcast and reinstate the BTN you will carry it, or that FOX will carry ALL of the games, I will put it back on. I doubt if you can tell us that it is the BTN that is actually being carried by FOX. I am guessing that they are carrying Big 10 games that they wish to carry. That is not what we people on this thread are asking for. We are asking for all of the BTN channel to be reinstated on our cable line up by the time football season starts. In case you haven't heard, that is tomorrow.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

For most of us, especially in South Florida who are on Comcast, friends and relatives have other brodcast than Comcast. Doesn't look like that is very possible. Have to be able to find someone who actually used Comcast for BTN.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

The customer outside of the BTN footprint even though we have your sports and entertainment pkg do not have access to all BTN games. Only to the 2 being broadcast on FS1 by FOX sports. If they are not our preferred schools, or if we wish to watch them all, we are totally out of luck. Do you know that FOX is actually going to add BTN in its entirety to their line up. If so, you should tell us now.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Comcast Ted. "Will Not HAVE" is more likely by Thurs. night or Sat. game that any other comment. If you can give us any better solution we certainly would like to hear it now.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Opurt, I do have all those apps in my ROKU but so far you have the only possible solution to try. Maybe we will hear from COMCAST Ted.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Opurt, Seems like a bit of a risky shady area to me, but possibly worth a try. I am just so disgusted with Comcast maybe it is really time to toss them out.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Agrote, The only way you can get it is if COMCAST is carrying it. That is why you can only get on Foxsportsgo.com the same things that are currently being broadcast on COMCAST. Thus, you can watch your FOXSPORTSGO on an ipad or whatever or on your televison but no BTN. Only Big 10 games that are being broadcast.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

Widescreen, Nice addition for those who live in the footprint of the Big Ten but for those alumnae outside of the area it doesn't help one bit. Season starts tomorrow and still no BTN available. Sure you can watch a couple Big Ten games a week on FS1 in your area (if outside of the area, and if you still have the sports and entertainment pkg) but for really getting all the BTN games. Not available. Now it is how you decide to manage to get your own preferences. Direct TV NOW or YouTube live. I will have to pay at min. 40 extra per month to get DirectTVNOW through my ROKU or Change to ATT who does have DirectTV included in their pkg. Goodbye, Comcast.

flight8 · ‎08-29-2018

BWet, I totally agree with you. Just because we (all of us) live outside the area doesn't make us any less fans. Be sure to continue to check FS1 which is in the sports and entertainment pkg. I too plan on abondoning ship if not on by time for OSU/Rutgers game.
