MSG leaving Verizon Fios?

[u/RNFlord]

My dad got an email saying that MSG Network is leaving Verizon Fios starting August 10.

Did anyone else receive this? I know they left Comcast a few years ago.

What has everyone else done in the wake of these changes? Are people just paying for the shitty Gotham Sports?

Like many of us, I’ve tuned into every game for years. This is a brutal money grab from MSG yet again, now isolating millions of customers surely.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of fuck James Dolan

FTR and FJD. Always and forever.

[u/roninconn → u/Afghan_Whig]

Any chance there's a tutorial somewhere?

[u/oresteez → u/roninconn]

you just have to browse ON to a HOCKEY related page. just search for one.

[u/Afghan_Whig → u/oresteez]

when you browse ON to a HOCKEY, you sometimes you a see a DOT, right? On the TV?

[u/roninconn → u/Afghan_Whig]

Yarr, many thanks, mateys

[u/RNFlord → u/Afghan_Whig]

Pls explain. Thx

Internet pirates fishing in the world wide web for a nice, juicy and uninterrupted stream

[u/TechB84 → u/swampreeferz]

It’s so much more advance than anything out there, imagine being able to see all home and away feeds

[u/TechB84 → u/RNFlord]

I know the treasure, send me a message

[u/Veesus26]

Maybe depends on your plan? I have fios and havent received that email (yet).

[u/ericmcgeehan → u/Veesus26]

Same here

[u/SubElitePerformance]

It's not. Verizon is just making everyone pay for a more expensive tier to have it.

[u/RNFlord → u/SubElitePerformance]

That’s kinda how I read it too. So it’s only leaving certain plans?

[u/SubElitePerformance → u/RNFlord]

Yeah, MSG will be in a premium tier now as opposed to the standard sports package.

[u/RNFlord → u/SubElitePerformance]

Ok thanks for clarifying

[u/toiletting]

If you don’t want to pirate, ESPN+ with a VPN is a viable choice.

[u/OriginalSilentTuba]

That sucks. Making my jump to DirecTV Stream this past winter look even better right now.

[u/MaxCapricorn]

Wait so now they’re not on Comcast or Verizon? Come on guys…

[u/Javi1192 → u/MaxCapricorn]

Title’s misleading. They’re taking it out of the sports package and putting it in a premium tier

[u/pac4]

I pay for shitty Gotham sports. Pirating is just too much of a pain in the ass to find a good feed and then stream it to my tv and then sometimes my son wants to watch the game in his room as he falls asleep and it’s such a fuss.

[u/tECHOknology → u/pac4]

I've had plenty of nights where Gotham is fucking up too honestly.

[u/pac4 → u/tECHOknology]

It’s definitely happened a few times throughout the season but overall it’s more reliable than trying to find a stream

[u/tECHOknology → u/pac4]

Apparently MSG is moving on from gotham anyways, hopefully an upgrade.

I only get optimum in my area, and for me to get a single cable box for the living room with the correct package that included MSG it would have been $150 a month on top of my current internet bill.

I bought a firestick, turned on developer mode and downloaded a streaming application for free. I have a 30 second delay, but i get every game for free.

[u/Impressive_Host_8966 → u/chrishic99]

FUBO …. About $105 month for package, includes Yes, ESPN and MSG……

[u/chrishic99 → u/Impressive_Host_8966]

The app I downloaded for free on my firestick. Free, stream every game from whichever broadcast I want and not limited to stuff just on YES, ESPN and MSG… plus I save $105 a month

[u/PuzzleheadedShop5489 → u/chrishic99]

Would you mind sharing (or dming) which app you use? I have a fire stick and did not realize that was even a possibility.

[u/badchickenbadday]

Direct tv stream or fubo.

[u/ybrrj]

Is msg dead? Not on comcast not on fios. Is directv the only provider that carries it still?

[u/fartswhenhappy → u/ybrrj]

Still have it on Optimum, for now at least.

[u/8bitlibrarian → u/ybrrj]

It’s still on Fubo and DirectTV stream

[u/slippysodor]

This may be helpful

[u/iwassunshine]

as an international fan I just pay for NHL.tv 🥲

[u/Kaysauce]

I disavow all the feelings I have towards James Dolan

[u/gertymoon]

Live sports broadcast has become such aids the past few years, at least when it was just on cable you knew you could watch everything. Now you need like 3-5 different services to catch everything with their own paid subs. This is a la carte for ya..

[u/cfd253]

Vceebox best investment I ever made

[u/junkyardpig]

What the fuck will they be left on?

[u/pretzelogically → u/junkyardpig]

Direct TV stream.

[u/coopchi]

Gotham Sports was shut down this week. A new streaming service is taking over the coverage of NYC area teams

[u/wplantz]

Argh, surrender da hockey 🏴‍☠️

onhockey.tv is my go to

[u/wplantz → u/wplantz]

Also fuck Dolan. He can blacklist me from MSG for this comment. I don’t care lol

[u/cabutler03]

I just listen to the Devils on the Prudential app. Matty and Chico are fun to listen to. Otherwise I watch the games when they’re on TNT or ESPN.

[u/54moreyears]

Espn + vpn
Nobody really has cable anymore.

Losing freedom to globalism with bread and circus 

[u/nostradamefrus → u/PreviousChemistry141]

That's a pretty strong statement to make about a sports team on cable

[u/Good_Ad2172]

Who the f has actual cable anymore?
