Magic TV Schedule- Two of Seven Preseason Games On TV

Post #1 » by **Howard Mass** » Wed Sep 14, 2016 7:38 pm

I was looking over the Magic television scheduled and two of the seven Preseason Games are going to be on TV.

http://www.nba.com/magic/schedule

The two games are......

October 16 vs. Atlanta
October 18 at Miami

They are the 5th and 6th games of the Magic's Preseason Schedule.

This means no TV for the first 4 and the Finale although some might air on NBA League Pass.

I do wish we can have all like some markets but 2 is an upgrade of the 1 last year.

All 82 Regular Season games will be televised on FS Florida.

Well I'm glad we are getting more than last year, even if it's only two. Hopefully we'll get blessed by the stream gods for the other games. Thanks for the update Howard Mass!

Great news. Can't wait to see the Magic back on the court.

About to cancel cable... wish there was an easy (and legal) way to watch the games online. Since the NBA obviously doesn't want my money, I'll figure out how to get it for free.

The cost of cable is jacking up and it is getting ridiculous.

Look into Kodi. That's the route I'm going for this NBA season. Last year sucked for me... :cry:

I cut my cable a few months ago. Using the Playstation Vue for the first time and will order League Pass as I usually do. I'll see how it all works out for me.

I haven't cut the cord yet, but every time they try to jack up prices I just call retentions and get them to give me a discount. I've noticed they're a lot more loose with handing out promotions than they were 5+ years ago. I think they know they're fighting a losing battle and it's only a matter of time. Still paying mroe than I'd like for my package, but between the random promos and cutting out the unnecessary options my bill has at least gone down every year for the last few years. If I had to pay full advertised price I'd cut immediately.

Kodi is too much of a pain to deal with (and things tend to disappear after they get too popular). I'm probably going to try the vpn route. I might try SlingTV which supposedly has FSN. We shall see. If anyone is interested, I'll create a write up on my findings if I have time. Of course, this should only affect Orlando residents as out of market people should be able to watch via league pass.

2 games is better than 1 or none. I guess I could say the same for those jumbo tron feeds, but I don't look forward to having to watch replays of the other team during magic possessions during those games.

I'm doing the league pass this year through Roku when it becomes available. Dropped cable at the end of last season.

I have sling and it does not get FSN.

it gets ESPN and TNT however.

You have Sling Orange for $20. Sling Blue is new, offers regional fox sports channels and allows for up to 3 simultaneous streams for $25 a month (no ESPN however). They also have a orange + blue for $40 now. Just fyi :wink:

I need to get up on this stuff. That's a killer deal. I've never heard of any of these outlets. Thanks for sharing.

Can you confirm it gives the magic feed and not the miami feed?

Isn't Miami on Sunshine Network?

Not entirely sure as they're listed as Fox Sports Sun. Is that the new Sunshine? But my concern is how seriously they take the regional feeds as not all FL regions get magic games... just wondering if they're doing it pretty much like cable or if it's more general. You would think at least those in or very near to Orlando would get the magic stuff, but you never know with these things.

edit: just looked at their site and they say they do it by zip code, I guess it's probably just like cable. When I type in my address both fox sports fl and fox sports sun pop up as available though. http://help.sling.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/How-do-the-FOX-Regional-Sports-Networks-work

Yeah that's what I found from my research. I've given this a ton of thought :lol:

I can't be without my magic games.
