to me xfinity is and has been the bad guy here the whole time.

My attena ($20) worked great last season - I do have the advantage of being in the city itself.

I'm not sure what route I'll take - CHSN app or cable

At the moment feel like going that app route to stick it to the cable company who i believe is the "bad guy" here

The Bulls are poorly run on every level


Not as a for-profit business, they aren't!

It's pretty remarkable that when a deal was finally struck, Comcast buried the channel in its most expensive tier *and* forced the Bulls to stop OTA broadcasts.

One of the problems is you have to pay for all these **** channels that hardly anyone watches. I don’t understand why a more al a carte model wouldn’t be better. I’m probably going to drop XFINITY.

Xfinity plays the monopolistic pricing to maximize value while people shift to streaming. They figure those that are still left are pretty price insensitive.

The OTA year was great, and it sucks that it's now gone. But I knew it wouldn't last just based on the commercials they were running- mostly local businesses. So what's the least expensive way to get bulls games now, keeping in mind I don't care about the sox or blackhawks- is it NBA Team Pass?

Only if you live outside of Illinois. League pass blackouts your local games, and it won't stream if you have a VPN up.

Can still get around the blackouts. Gotta spoof location + do VPN

Return to Chicago Bulls
