I love the name calling.  Keep it up!.  If this gets you what you want on U-verse, come back and let us know.

Angel's Baseball

at least once a week and now I believe it's been a total 7 or 8 games that AT& T Uverse has not broadcast due to ongoing negotiations with Fox Sports West. AT&Twill tell you they do not want your cost to go up so they are trying as hard as possible to not meet fox sports west demands.  If you ask to talk with a supervisor you can get $3 credit for each game that is not televised.  AT&T wants to charge you the same but not fulfill there obligation of their sport's package you are paying for. I have already cutout my landline with AT&T and went with Magic Jack Plus.... Less than $15 a year after the initial cost of $70 for the device... PS... works great hooked up to my gatway.. computer doesn't have to be on.  Also was thinking about dropping to U-100 pakage but AT&T have you screwed with that also.. If you do they don't give you the DVR and charge you an extra $15/month. Message to AT&t... negotiate a deal and let us watch our angels Baseball ... if you have to pass on an extra charge for the sports package then as an end user we at least have been able to watch what you should be obligated to provide and if the additional cost is too much we can electto choose a different provider... The way AT&T is landling this is totally unacceptable.

That seems to be happening a lot lately."

 

If you're making money hand over fist and you want to give me some "value added" so that you can keep making money hand over fist from me, then yes, you do.


Ok, by your own logic, Fox Sports should not be charging for those games and should just show them since they are already making money hand over fist from the providers.  However, they want more money and since AT&T and Fox Sports West already have a contract/carriage agreement in place they shouldn't be allowed to raise their price mid-contract.

No Angels vs. Yankees telecast?

Is it true that Time Warner carries all the Angels games and ATT has refused to carry them?  I pay good money to watch the Angels and am sitting here listening to the radio?  KCAL carries the Dodgers, so ATT carries the Dodgers, on several channels.  Please explain why the Angels (vs. Yankees) are not being broadcast tonight.  Go Angels!

[ Edited ]

When are AT&T and Fox Sports West going to get on with their negotiations to show all of the Angels games to At&T U-Verse users in Orange County?  We are being cheated by AT&T.  I have been patient for quite enough time.  Not showing two of the Yankees games this week is the final straw.  My husband and I are both invalids and we look forward to watching all of the Angels games.  Will I get a reply from AT&T to this message?  There must be 500,000 AT&T users in Orange County who feel the same way that we do.  We are seriously considering going back to Cox Cable which is our other cable server in our neighborhood.  I've already switched my cell phone to Verizon because we cannot get adequate reception at our home.  AT&T must improve the service.  If this message does not go directly to AT&T customer service, will someone please tell me how to reach the company rather than just a message board?  Thank you.  Ellie

Lack of Angels Games a True Disappointment to U-Verse Sports Fans

We love our AT&T U-Verse Bundle but I'm having a heck of a time trying to talk my husband out of switching services!  We already pay quite a bit for our services and now we're only getting to watch an occasional Angels Game (and not even the good ones!)  Paying extra to see games that should not cost extra seems really unfair.  I'm really bummed and I hope I can talk my husband out of it.  :smileysad:

Re: Angel's games, Fox Sports West dropped from channel guide

Nope, list not accurate.  I'm blacked out tonight!!!!!  Friday night, vs the Rangers!  Really?!?!  Midweek against garbage teams I guess I understand.  But a big game vs a division rival?  Wow.

Re: Angel's games, Fox Sports West dropped from channel guide
This whole thing is ridiculous...AT&T and dish are the only officers that didn't opt in for the revised package. I hope this costs them some business and show then in the only way they will understand what a poor decision they made. AT&T has not been good experience for me since we sign up early on and this latest move with the blacked out games is the last straw...

Now that the season is almost over do you think your LA Angels are worth watching.  NOT
