You have to purchase a separate sports package to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAlumnus Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I signed up for Directv Streaming. With unlimited DVR (only 20 hours basic) it is about $100 a month. I have all the games (series) set to record starting tonight. After I watch all the games I will cancel unless it blows me over. I have Dish for $168 a month but can shut it down any time. I will watch the Thursday games in person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Bally Sports is just Fox Sports Southwest rebranded. They've been in contract disputes basically since the start of COVID and haven't budged one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right...and it's a shame that a lot of the people that can't go to the game will not be able to watch it because of this garbage.

I'm talking about dish I think it's more the UIL's fault for selling the rights to the highest bidder instead of opening it up to several networks...but that doesn't surprise me at all...the UIL is always all about the money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiredfan1001 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The coverage this year on Bally Sports is fantastic. They have gone out and provided some emotional coverage. My favorite so far is Being Called Coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBizzle Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 39 minutes ago, Footballalltheway said: It did on me. I never watched FSSW except the State Championship games annually. Switched to youtube TV earlier this year cause got tired of getting jobbed by DirecTV every year. Didn't notice I didn’t have channel to watch games until yesterday. Its no problem just decided to go hunting instead. If UIL wants to limit viewers by making an agreement with a network that has pretty limited viewing options then thats their prerogative but they are missing out on lots of eyeballs if thats of any consideration. I agree with this sentiment, but there must not have been a huge bidding war for this. It's been on FSSW (now Bally) for years. Does anyone know how long the contract is?

I believe they are in year eight or nine of a ten year contract...but no networks are going to bid on it so I dont anticipate it'll be anywhere but Bally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirectTV (or Direct TV STREAM, formally ATT NOW) 2. Suddenlink 3. Spectrum 4. Grande Communications Your best bet here is to sign up for a non-obligated contract for Direct TV Stream and cancel within 14 days (https://thestreamable.com/live-tv-streaming/directv-stream/can-you-get-a-free-trial-of-directv-stream). It's pretty easy, but it also sucks because you can only do this once.https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/mavericks/2021/10/06/how-to-watch-mavericks-games-on-bally-sports-southwest-streaming-cable-national-tv-options/ See above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
