Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 I really feel like i'm going to just flip out here at work. Why is this THAT HARD? I mean, really, are you kidding me? You can't agree on something that would benefit both sides if thats the case. It's a freaking TV channel. You can add the Fox Business Network and have the Tennis Channel on your sports package yet you cannot provide a local basketball team? Gimme a break. I'm seriously about to get banned from the boards in a second because I can't vent my frustration in a PG format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LetsGoMagic 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 i just got off the phone with a representive from bright house. I asked her how come I dont have FSN in orlando when the surrounding areas do. She said they in contract talks, she said the hold is FSN wants to be in a sports package that we have to pay for and brighthouse wants them to be the basic channel. I said really? thats strange. All reports from news channels and newpapers are reporting the opposite. she says well i am not in that region i am just reading what the report says in front me. I told her again that I was very disappointed with the service I am getting and becuase everyone gets to watch the orlando magic, but becuase I actually live in Orlando I cant watch them and I would like her to file a complaint for me that I request them to get FSN. As she gets my info she says it looks like you've already requested this. I said Yep, I'd like to do it again. its so stupid that she reversed the situation. why would they do that?

At this point, I doubt they'll even care to give you a logical explanation. The fans are scrambling and they're just taking their time. When this situation first reared it's ugly head, I thought that the idea of the fans closest to the team being unable to watch the games was just laughable, but now that we're approaching game time and there's still no answer, I just feel sick. I've never missed the opener. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half these people don't even know if the Magic are a basketball team or a tv show starring a clown pulling coins from behind peoples ears. It's insane.

ATRUEFAN 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Does anyone know for sure whether the Magic games will be on NBA League Pass or not? Since FSN is now broadcasting the games (except on Brighthouse), can't NBA League Pass get its feed from there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
