peterfish55 No. 1 Share Posted July 19 OK, so looking for information here. I am currently with Xfinity for my cable service, so my question here is now that the Pac 12 network has been silenced, how are we Duck fans going to be able to watch the Ducks play in the "new" conference? Is Xfinity going to let us watch the Big 10 network without having to "upgrade our subscription"? Or are we going to have to pay up to receive the new conference that they have joined along with 1/3 of the "old" conference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Moderator No. 2 Share Posted July 19 I added BTN Big Ten Network for $10/mo + tax on Xfinity using their app. If you already have app set up, it takes less than 5 minutes to get access. Not free, but convenient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie No. 6 Share Posted July 19 (edited) I don't know what Xfinity package I have, but B1G is included. Have you looked for it to see if you have it? That's how I found out. Edited July 19 by Annie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN and Fox did not join Warner to form the streaming platform Venu for grins. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I spin it in my mind as that it is the part of the total entertainment cost of being the intense Duck fan that I am. Now Peacock does have a number of specials and shows you might enjoy if you missed them on TV, or were not available to you before which helps to sweeten the value to you. By contrast...isn't this forum the best value for any Duck fan out there? Is there anything comparable for all the information, the great discussion, and the occasional laugh? 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 10 Share Posted July 21 I have not had cable in years. I was using Sling and an HD antenna for Duck games. I think I am going to make the switch to YouTube TV this year. We will see how it goes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from traditional Dish to YouTubeTV, but had to add Sling Orange for 5 months per year to get P12 network…which btw was still significantly less than having Dish for 12 months. Sling and YouTube are very similar conceptually, but I find the tech and interface with YouTube to be a significant upgrade. The beauty of this is there is no commitment or service call needed. You could switch every month if you wanted with zero human interaction Edited July 21 by JabbaNoBargain 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shut off my Sling account after college basketball is over because I generally don’t have time to watch TV in the summers. Someone said that you can run a 4-game split screen on YouTube TV. That will be cool. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckley Palace No. 13 Share Posted July 21 I've had satellite, cable, and streaming through the years. With the NFL recently being sued due to their NFL Sunday Ticket, and issues with Red zone in the past. I can can say selective streaming is my choice going forward. I've had the Sling Blue package which is around 25 bucks. It includes the B1G network. I currently have Peacock for 5.99 month. Maybe it's gone up to 7.99, I'll have to check my billing. I also have the Hulu package for fifteen bucks, it includes ESPN and Disney Plus. For about fifteen bucks a month I get everything I need. During college football season I'll change my plan to include Live TV through Hulu. That bumps up the monthly quite a bit, but it's only for a few months and I get every game I want for the only sport I care to watch from start to finish(CFB). With the move to the B1G, and upcoming playoff. This season proves to be noteworthy. Plus I get unlimited recording, so if I'm busy for say Oregon at Michigan, Oregon hosting Ohio State, or Oregon blasting Washington. I get to watch those games on my time. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
