Now that Comcast and beIN have announced a partnership to to show beIN on Comcast/Xfinity, I think we need to carpet bomb Comcast with requests for it to be added locally in Seattle. Anyone who remembers how long it took for them to add Fox Soccer Channel in HD knows what I am talking about. Comcast agrees to carry new beIN Sport network beIN will have exclusive US access to La Liga, Copa Sud America, US Mens National Team away matches, and all of our 2014 World Cup Qualifiers, not to mention a bunch else. In "some markets" it will be available in the Sports Entertainment Package (in Seattle, this means the same package you needed for Fox Soccer Channel) and some markets will get it in SD, and some in both SD/HD. I humbly request that all you folks with Seattle area ZIP codes request beIN on comcast by using the following Link: http://beinsport.tv/
Great idea. Here's a more specific link. Takes you directly to the request page where BeIN will even send an email on your behalf to your provider: http://beinsport.tv/getbein.html
So, Crack a beer, and do your own play-by-play. Frankly, I'm more upset by the lack of HD. Word on the street, though, is that both HD and English should be available by years end.
Correction looks like its SD but full screen. For comcast users change audio in setup from default to english so you'll beable to watch the matchs with the english audio feed.
Just a reminder for comcast you need to be subscribed to either the Spanish package or Sports entertainment package. Being a certain digital tier level that gets you the some of the sports channels that SEP provides won't give you access to BEin Sports.
Convinced Comcast to give me te sports package or free and I'm this close >< to getting the wife to switch to direct tv. Yay.
They added the AlJazeera Sports Network (BeIn) to DirecTV but at the expense of Gol TV. So no USOC Finals for DirecTV customers until that contract is up. [Edit] It looks like DirecTV customers can still get Gol in spanish for $15 a month... http://www.epltalk.com/directv-drops-goltv-from-sports-pack-tier-46206
