BeIN Sport cont.... AGAIN

beIN English coming to Bay Area (at least Richmond CA). My new bill says:

Effective 1/15/2013, beIN Sports - English, channel 429, will be
added to the Sports Entertainment Tier. Effective 1/15/2013,
GOL TV, on channel 618 will be removed from the Sports
Entertainment Tier and the MultiLatino Tier.
(No mention of beIN Spanish)

 

So I moved into a new house, my old place (with roomates) had the one directv package with basically everything.

Now that it's me and just the GF splitting the bill... I've actually had to do research to see what soccer channels go with what package! So pissed I have to have the directv latino package to get Fox Deportes and I think ESPN Deportes... instead of that being included on the sports package. What a crock of shit. FSC is there and BeIN sports.....but I have to get another package to see those 2 channels? Pisses me off...

 

13 bucks +
i believe...

 

Yea... that's the sports package right?

The add on latino package is I think an extra 13 a month....

 

dats what i meant. The spanish pack has GOL, FSC, BeIN, ESPND...

 

I believe it did NOT have BeIN HD, only the 426 channel.

 

Wrong. Fox Deportes and BeINn are in the Spanish pack, along with GOL and ESPND.

 

FSC is not included in that package, right?

 

FSC is Sports pack only, unless things have changed very recently.

 

Yep. You're right sadly, the directv guy told me the same... but then redbullsnation had me think twice...but I think he's just wrong and you're right.

 

If you get a base Spanish package then you will get FSC HD and ESPN Deportes, Bein Espanol, Fox Deportes, Gol TV. I had to add Sports Pack just to get Bein HD. The shittier thing is that NBC Sports is only available to people with a base Spanish package on the highest channel tier, Lo Maximo. I'm hoping Directv will do a reshuffle of channels on Spanish packages next season when EPL moves to NBC sports, although I'm sure those games will be available in Spanish on Telemundo, alas not in HD

 

NBC sports is available on the sports pack, right?

And I WOULD get the base spanish package... but my GF would kill me as I think she lost some channels. LOL

 

Actually, I think NBC Sports has dropped out of the sports pack and is available on all packages from Choice Extra on up.

 

\

Telemundo is an over the air HD Channel

 

The NBC execs must be talking to every Prem owner into making a bid for a Latin player, with those closer to the US border having huge dollar signs attached.

Roger Espinoza down.

Maza and Hector Moreno still to go.

Maybe someone might even bite on Rafa Marquez too.

 

Has it been determined which channels these will end up on?

 

GolTV was dropped for BeIn Sport on Comcast in the DC area as of today.
Can't say I'd watched it recently other than a few low quality SD minutes of some Bundesliga games, but I can do without those.

 

NBC sports is off sports pack and is available on most English packages. Its only available on the top package in Spanish though. And there is no teldmundo ota availability here in Pittsburgh. Is telemundo available ota in most of the country?

 

Are y ou asking if Telemundo HD is offered on the 'local' hd channels? On directv it isn't for me in the washington DC area.

 

You should be able to receive it with an OTA antenna in the Washington DC area on 25.1.

(Although, it is a low power broadcaster at this point, and the signal might not reach your specific location -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WZDC-CD. And since it is a low-power local broadcaster, that is also likely why it is not required within the local channels package of cable/satellite providers to DC area pay-tv subscribers.)

 

Don't know if it reaches "most of the country" via OTA broadcast, but wikipedia indicates:
"Telemundo reaches 58 percent of Hispanic and Latino American households in 142 markets via over-the-air, cable, and satellite television" (take that for what it is worth, as it looks to be sourced from 5-6 years ago.)

Too bad Telemundo is not in HD on Dish.

 

Sounds like a personal problem. Maybe you should make the investment and switch providers to get it in HD.

 

Is your butt still hurting from that one day I called you out?
