Basically... No movement.... On a related note, if anyone is moving to DirecTV, please email me... We can both get $50 off if I refer you

They need to change the voices doing the negotiating.

I have grown tired of the generic rhetoric spewed out by all 3 sides.

Get something done!

You know besides the occasional rainouts, I dont think I would go back to brighthouse.

I honestly cant believe its taken this long and they still are no closer to where they were last year. Shame to all parties.

I also hope the surge of the Rays, who play half their games on FSN, would have got the drum rolling a bit more.

Bright House customers along with Comcast in Lake County and some other areas that have FSN Florida but do not have a deal for the games will have the games this year.

We cannot go through another season of this again. It is so damn unfair to all of us.

In the end, the Magic need to do something here before the start of the season as the games will be frontloaded and a lot of us will miss a majority of the early games.

definitely moving to directtv if nothing is resolved. I WILL NOT take another season of missing 55% percent of games because of a conservative cable company

I wish I could switch to dish but My apartment complex pays for my Cable. I cannot argue it is free cable pretty much.

If I go with Dish network or Direct TV then I gotta pay for it. It just maybe worth it. I called Brighthouse last year and they said it was all up to FSN. FSN was to blame not bright house.

Switched to DirecTV in April and love it. My only regret is not doing it sooner. They literally have twice the HD channels as Brighthouse. My HD TV loves it. 8-)

Ya I switched a while back, can't believe I didn't sooner.

Better on every single level; although I did have my first DirecTV problem a few days ago. During a storm, the power went out. When it came on, the DirecTV said I had some new update and at the same time it deleted everything on my box. All my recordings. All my series that I record. And also all my custom channel menus. Pain in the butt for sure. Still 100% better than Brighthouse, that's just how much Brighthouse sucks.

Comcast might have the games... but I really hate them as my provider. They are terrible service wise and my cable box resets on a daily basis during the shows I'm watching. Go Directv before ever considering comcrap

This whole situation is just pathetic. All parties involved should be ashamed of themselves and realize that the fans of the hometown team should be able to watch all the games. It really is ridiculous.
