No live sports on FS1?

I just read on the Fox Sports 1 site that it's contract with Uverse does not cover live events starting tomorrow (2/28) and Uverse customers will be blacked out from the Xfinity race at Atlanta (along with many other sports). Come on Uverse, get with the program and fix this please. Live sports are the main reason I still subscribe to your service.

@mibrnsurg -- Here's my thought. Because the main page of the forums (forums.att.com) is all thrown together from Wireless to DSL to U-Verse to everything else, people may not see the topics as easily. It may be a little too tempting to go to the forums.att.com, hit the "Ask a question" button and then select any forum you jolly well feel like on the three dropdowns.

 

It's also possible that the OPWs think that 35 topics on the same thing will jumpstart AT&T to getting a deal done.

It's odd that you apparently haven't seen the other threads on the matter.

We wouldn't even be going through this if it was regarding NFL. But apparently AT&T is not fimiliar with hope popular all the NASCAR Series are (Truck, Xfinity, & Sprint). You see AT&T, drivers from the Sprint series, race in the other series all the time. Unfortunately for ESPN couldn't handle how popular Xfinity is, and the other sports they cover. A race fan follows all three series. If you think you are providing a comparable service by showing us European Darts or Euro soccer is worth the money we pay. You are greatly mistaken. I am not receiving what I have signed up with you. I want my NASCAR, and just the Sprint series is not getting it. If this is not resolved real quick, I will go back to DirecTV. I am thankful I didn't follow thru with signing up for cell service too. I like the bundle service I receive with you. But I dealt with seperate bills for 10+ yrs. before. If my price goes up, it goes up. I want all the NASCAR series.

I'm livid over losing Big East basketball and Nascar on FS1.  However, we just had our usual complaint session about UVerse (not a nice one) and we thought of the Milwaukee Brewers who tend to have their games on FS1.  Will these be gone as well?  I was planning on not leaving UVerse until Autumn to see if this could be worked out before the next basketball season.  I amy rethink and jump ship earlier if my baseball is also affected.  Does anyone know?

If you mean Saturday baseball that used to be on Fox?  Don't think it'll be affected as they ran it last autumn and was on Fox locals before that. 😉

 

Edit:  You didn't lose Nascar, just some of the Infinity series races, Sprint Cup and Camping World Truck series are not affected. 😉

FS1 wants additional fees from Uverse to show Big East sports, Nascar Infinity races, US Open Golf and other live programs they got since they became FS1

I think that is false. I love watching euro soccer and its worth every penny I pay AT&T to watch it in HD. I kinda don't wanna watch guys going in a circle in a car, so you as a nascar fan think its unfair that they broadcast euro soccer, but me as a soccer fan would think its unfair if they broadcasted all nascar races or whatever they are called instead of euro soccer..

@Teapots This weekend's Infinity and Sprint Cup races are on the Fox locals, I have them scheduled.  Sprint Cup series will not be affected on FS1, as well as Camping World Truck series.  Both were on Fox stations before Speed became FS1.

 

You are receiving the FS1 feed for Uverse, you are getting what you pay for.  FS1 wants extort extra $$ now for Infinity races, Big East Sports and US Open Golf when it should be done at the next renewal period. 😉

 

Edit:  I happen to like Nascar racing and soccer.  FS1 is hinting we might also lose MLS and USA National team soccer.  They did broadcast the MLS last wekend and have run the USA women on the Algarve Cup series they won today.

The blackout content is the darts. The FA Cup soccer tournament is regular programming which was previously scheduled.

 

As far as MLS goes, I was able to watch games last Sunday without issue, making me think that MLS is not part of the dispute.
