Can TStan fix this? Does he have the power? Should we write to him and enclose a nice check? Or does this need to go all the way to Phillips?

No Sling. No Philo. Not even Fubo, Hulu or YouTube. AFAIK, only the overpriced DirecTV and AT&T streaming services, which are the same price and essentially the same thing. Or REALLY overpriced cable. Blacked out on ESPN3 here in the mid-Atlantic.

It's not good for fans in the mid-Atlantic. I don't think croots in the mid-Atlantic love not being able to see us play without paying for the really expensive $$ cable/streaming services. And knowing that if they go to Tech, it will be the same for all their family, friends, girlfriends back home, etc.

We really need to put an end to this.
 
Pretty sure ACC HQ controls all that. I'm in the mid-Atlantic and have a pretty normal cable company - its been years since Tech has not been on TV in my area. And I don't have the super-delux package - just a small extra sports pack.

Where are you located??
 
Northern Virginia. I had cable for many years, but it was extremely expensive here (like everything else here). When I dropped it and went to Fubo I saved $100/month. No one around here in my neighborhood has cable anymore. Everyone streams. I'm guessing Verizon and Cox make most of their money now from broadband Internet. FWIW I get a ton of Pac-12 channels and every PAC-12 football game on FuBo . . . why can't the ACC do that?
 
I had never even heard of Bally Sports until maybe 3 weeks ago. Where did they suddenly come from? Fortunately, when my cable provider (WOW) added the ACC Network 3 weeks ago, they also added both Bally stations.

Every week someone whines about not being able to get the games. DirecTV Stream carries the RSN if you are in the Southeast for $65/mo, and if you are out of the Southeast, you can watch on ESPN.

I paid more for Cable 20+ years ago. $65 for TV is a bargin, stop whining and open you ööööing wallet.

Do you even $80k, bro?

You do realize, I trust, that not everyone can get satellite service? I cannot because of all the trees around my house. Don't be so quick to judge others.

Bally is only available on the $85 tier and up on DirecTV stream.
 
I have Comcast/Xfinity for my cable and internet service. That gets me the Bally games. I also have YouTube TV which gets me ACCN and allows me to watch TV anywhere. Total cost like $210/mo.

Wrong, liar.

MASN is only available here on the DirecTV CHOICE package (or above). Same for the ACC Network. Not the $65 "Entertainment" package.

$85/month.

And other than carrying MASN, the channel lineup blows. No BBC World News - which is my main TV news source. No CBS Sports Network. No NHL. No Fox Sports 2. No AHC. No Golf Channel. Those are some of my main channels. And again, that is for $85/month, not $65. I'd need to get those channels through FuBO, Sling, etc.

I would essentially be paying $85/month just to watch a few Tech games a year. That is not "a bargin." Not even a bargain.

But forget about me. Because it's not about me, dumbass - which you would know if you had decent reading comprehension and actually read my post.

You're telling Croots that they, their families, their friends, their girls all need to pay $85/month, too for crappy DirecTV streaming if they want to watch them play ball at Tech. And they might not all "even $80K, bro."

I'm guessing that many Croots, Croots family, Croots friends, Croots girls, etc. cannot swing $210/mo.

#Crootslife ≠ #80klife.
