I would check your Xfinity bill. Here in Philly (their home base) they stopped including Peacock with the cable TV sub back in June of 2022. You may very well be getting charged $5-$7 / month for Peacock.
No, I'm aware. After they did that they offered it again for free as part of their Rewards tier, anyone who had Diamond(?) level or above could get it. That's why I mentioned it was free due to how long I've been with them.
Loved the different starting times for games yesterday, I was able to watch all three. I watched 3 more on Saturday. Good start to the season.
OK, can anyone explain why the hell the full replay of Galaxy vs Miami is removed from Apple TV? Every other game is there. What's going on? I thought I am getting lost in the dumb interface but I scrolled around everywhere I can think of, and its not in any of the places that other teams' games is. Support is completely useless so far. I described the issue and they said "I see, you are having problems with your iphone. Please send a screenshot of your error". First gen AI could do better than that! And then they sent me a link to general "problems streaming from Apple TV". Unbelievable. Clearly taking the product seriously.
My favorite was last year when they told me to try to use the AppleTV app after I told them I was having issues on Android. I asked for a link to download the app (even though I knew it didn't exist) and was told that it's available in the Apple App Store.
Yeah their support reps can only offer support to absolute noobs, Anything less than the average questions such as "how I download on iphone" leads to useless suggestions.
It seems like they even failed on an average question. They should know that the AppleTV app is not available to Android users and they definitely don't have access via the Apple Store.
They literally assume that every question is an iPhone question. Want to ask about Apple TV on chrome browser? They still think it's an iPhone question. What the heck? That's an unacceptable level of support for a company of any size, and just a disgrace for Apple.
Save yourself the headache. Assume large corporations are of no help. Google the problem and you’ll find your answer. You’re not the first one that wondered that same question.
I mean even the famously horrible support at the cable company is better than this. They don't try to help you with TV when you ask about internet. Sure they just tell you to restart your modem, but at least they don't tell you to restart your cable box instead. This was just... laughable. Anyway, searching for the answer is what I do 99.99% of the time, but when its a new issue like a missing game that happened yesterday, google won't help either.
Having to have dealt with Comcast support multiple times in the last year, no they're not. They've out and out lied to me multiple times, costing me money (my bill is now higher with no change in service after having to unwind their lies).
If you have an AppleTV and Airpods watch "Masters of the Air", using your Airpods for audio. The Atmos surround sound is harrowing during the bombing runs.
USL strikes media rights deal with ESPN https://t.co/R2IuUCwi4V pic.twitter.com/440tnkemxt— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) February 27, 2024 Thx, Jay!
Here's the full broadcast schedule for USL this year. https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1302050 Louisville vs Indy Eleven will be on CBS as the first every USL match on network TV. Two USL1 games will air on CBSSN, and @Ismitje better be on TV when Spokane hosts Omaha on September 4.
According to the Awful announcing article the annual value of the contracts is in the high seven figures which should mean between 5 and 9 million. But just like when you hear a team has lost 8 of 10 you know they won that 11th game, it’s probably closer to 5 than 9 because if it was 9 they’d have said “nearly 8 figures.”
It would be really interesting to learn how that's being split up. This year USLC has 24 teams and USL1 has 12. If we go with the low end of 5 million, they could distribute $100k to each team and still have $1.4 million left for the league itself to spend on whatever infrastructure they find most necessary. I don't know what kind of budget these teams are really running on, but that seems like it would be a significant help to each of them. It would also be interesting to find out if there's something in the contracts that adds money each time a new team joins. The major college conferences negotiate full shares for as many new teams coming in as possible, so maybe USL was able to get the same kind of deal? There are slated to be 4 new Championship and 6 new League One teams by the 2026 season when the ESPN part of this ends.
Some MLS fans tend to get very defensive when the Apple deal is critiqued, but you can’t help but notice how successful USL has been in getting its teams on local broadcast television in the wake of MLS abandoning local TV completely. @TampaBayRowdies the latest. pic.twitter.com/ncpquaqe3r— Kartik Krishnaiyer 🇺🇦🌻⚽️ (@kkfla737) February 29, 2024
The CBS/Paramount+ deal has nothing to do with independent channels owned by CBS News & Stations. It's all under Paramount Global, but they're different divisions.
Phoenix's deal is with the owners of the local CBS affiliate and Miami FC's deal is with a CBS owned channel and CBSMiami.com. I guess USL did a hard sell at Paramount/CBS's local affiliate convention.
And Loudoun's deal is with DCNewsNow which is a NewsNation channel owned by CW. There are more than 30 USL teams with deals and most have nothing to do with CBS.
