Can someone who knows confirm two things for me:
1. If you live outside of the Syracuse television market and sign up for your providers out of market sports package, do you get the live broadcasts on SNY and such? I haven't had the package in a long, long time, but there used to be a time when you only got the extra programming and no live games.
2. On FIOS specifically is there a premium package that gives you access to just the sports channels or do you need to take their middle tier of programming or higher to get it?
Finally a comment. Verizon's platform for FIOS television service absolutely blows. Last week I was trying to add change my service to a package that would include the FOX sports channels in order to get the SU game. I was doing this early on Sunday morning, but they couldn't add the programming quickly enough to guarantee that I would have access to the channels for a late afternoon game that day. What gives? Do they have to send someone out to splice a line somewhere in my neighborhood?? I would think they are leaving a lot of revenue on the table in upgrades. As soon as they told me they couldn't do this in time for the game, my motivation to pay the extra $15 in programming passed.
I had DIRECTV for the longest time and as long ago as 5 years ago you could make instantaneous changes to your programming using their online tool without even having to talk to an agent.
