Will Tiger games be broadcast on Direct TV channels?
Will tiger be broadcast on derectv channels
The xfinity in my area isn’t on yet. Customer service says xfinity is finishing up a contract to broadcast
It sickens me that we have to pay to watch. It’s almost that much to go to a game. I might have to stop watching and this hurts. I can’t afford the extras. I’m on social security. I don’t work overtime to afford luxuries.
Will att uverse have Tigers games?
That’s what I’m wondering. I’ve been waiting for baseball to start. AI which is a joke stating it will be on uverse channel 739/ 1739. Well AT&T UVerse 300 doesn’t have these channels at all. it goes from 737, 738 then next channel is TCM 790. And thank God I have TCM.
Not on the AT&T site does it state anything for Detroit Sports Net. Again 739 doesn’t exist nor any other channel I can see. Give me back to the days where we just had free analog that only had 4 channels but there was always something to watch. Yes I’m a boomer, a Proud One.
I don’t have these cable or internet services. I stream most of my shows on various apps, like Fubo for a lot of our sport’s and TV shows. So will I be able to find it on there tomorrow or will I have to subscribe to yet another app to watch my local team play?….
Will the Tigers be broadcast on Fox 47 in Lansing Michigan as usaul on Comcast.
What about wide open west?
