Question Comcast and Fox Sports World

As many of you who have Comcast as your digital cable supplier may know, Fox Sports World is missing from the list of viewable channels. As a football/soccer fan, I am greatly disappointed because of this. Without Fox Sports World, where will I get my dosage of Bundesliga, etc.?

I was talking with the director of IranSportsPress.com today and he also voiced his disappointment regarding Comcast not airing FSW. After furthur discussing, we agreed that a petition of some sorts would be sufficient for solving this dreadful incident. We had agreed that a petition would be a viable solution for this problem.

So here is the reason for my posting. I was wondering if Bigsoccer could lend a supporting hand for this cause. Im sure there are enough members at Bigsoccer who feel the same way and would very much like for Comcast to air FSW. I do hope the administrators of Bigsoccer agree to pitch in and I would very much like to know what you think of the whole thing.

If you have any questions please email Mr. Behrang Sohrabi- behrang@iransportspress.com

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this. I thought it would be good to post it here as this is where the admins usually come to...

Basically what we are doing is trying to make a petition of some sorts so that Comcast airs Fox Sports World. We are trying to get as many people behind it as we can...

i just don't understand why it's in a forum that i thought was supposed to be to discuss how to deal with BS users and grow BS's user base.

I was thinking somewhere like B&M might be better....

But yeah, I have family in the northern philadelphia area who have comcast digital. they'd probably watch it if they could get it.

Get Dish or Directv if your cable provider does not carry FSW. Thats what I did.

I have Comcast in DC and still have FSW. As for DirecTV and Dish, they'll get my business when they cost a bit less than my rent. I thought cable was expensive until I looked at their price for the "FSW" package!

It's actually the same price here in Ca. AT&T Digital was about $45.00 a month with the package that included FSW.

My DirectTv costs $50.00 a month with FSW, more channels than digital cable, and local channels. Another $9.00 to get HBO for the Sopranos, though.
