    IN Demand Reaches MLB EI Agreement

    They shouldn't stop with just the EI package. They need to continue the push and break up the ST monopoly.

    You are correct. Just checked their Channel line up, and it shows both, on the basic channels.

    Call your BrightHouse rep about getting the NFL Network

    I think I remember reading someplace that FSN wants BHN to include it in their basic package and BHN wants to include it in a different one. I could be wrong, but that is what I understand. The same goes with the NFL Network. I don't really understand that either, because when we lived in South...

    It was actually DirecTV that got the contract but it was not quite exclusive. Any cable company or DISH Network can carry it, if they agree to pay what DirecTV is paying for it. What ever that means. He was asking BHN if they were going to carry it, but couldn't get a definite answer from...

    My point was, by not carrying services that customers want, it is costing BHN money. Last night at a neighborhood get together, there was talk about the upcoming baseball season. One of my neighbors said, that last week he called BHN, about renewing is MLB package, and was told they hadn't...

    In their consideration of the Bottom Line, are they looking at all of the money they are loosing, by not carrying FSN Florida and NFL. I know of about 6 people in my neighborhood who are Marlins and/or Panther fans and have dropped BHN and subscribed to DirecTV or DISH, because BHN refuses to...

    Except for their: 1. Poor grainy picture quality of the analog channels (1-99). 2. Having to come back time after time to fix the same problem. 3. Unwillingness to provide both local Regional Sports Networks to Central Florida. Sorry Steven, but I can't agree with you, I prefer satellite 100%...

    LonghornXP, my comment was about cable companies in general, either Florida or NH, they are all leave a lot to be desired. That is why I dropped BHN for satellite, they could care less about what the customers want for programing. No Fox Sports Florida and now no NFL Network. Every time I would...

    Call your BrightHouse rep about getting the NFL Network

    From an article in today's "Florida Today", it looks like the big issue between NFLN and the cable companies, is the fact that NFLN wants the network to be part of the basic package and the cable companies want to put it in the digital package. Allowing them to make more money, by selling more...

    LonghornXP, I was raised in New Hampshire and I moved to Florida because I couldn't stand the 9 months a year of lousy weather. I will admit the summers are nice though, all three weeks of it. Still go back up there during that time to play golf. By the way the cable companies in NH are just...

    DirecTV and DISH are loving this. A lot of people will be saying Bye Bye to BHN, over this issue. This is not just happening here in Florida, other cable companies around the country are also refusing to carry it. This added to BHN refusal to carry Fox Sports Florida, is a good sign they are not...

    If you don't have the NFL Network, your not missing much. All it has been over the past few years is replay of PAST football games. Kind of like eating left overs, just not the same the second time around.

    NFL Network, what a joke. BHN doesn't even carry Fox Sports Florida, a local sports network. I dumped them for DirecTV so I could get the Panther and Marlin games.

    BHN Questions - Melbourne Area

    That is exactly the same reason I got DirecTV instead of Not SO Brighthouse. I can't believe that they don't carry FSN Florida. Many of my neighbors have dumped BHN because of their lack of carrying FSN Florida. I bet they are loosing a lot of business over not carrying them. When ever I would...

    BHN Questions - Melbourne Area

    I am currently a DirecTV subscriber, living in Melbourne, looking into my options. I have a few questions that maybe someone could answer about BHN. 1. Is Brighthouse ever going to add Fox Sports Florida, to its programing? 2. Does Brighthouse have any plans to move their basics(channels...

    Why No Florida Fox Sports

    The NBA Package still may be in the Freeview mode, that is why he sees both. I can't get the Heat normally, only the Magic. I would rather see the Heat any day. The should change that so if the team is in the state you can see either one. Maybe we will get lucky and the Magic will move somewhere...

    Why No Florida Fox Sports

    Why No Florida Fox Sports? Can anyone tell me why Brighthouse, in the Central Florida area, doesn't carry Fox Sports Florida? I have called them asking about it several times and the only answer I get is, "Yes we don't carry it, but I will pass your request for it onto our management"...

    Rain Shield (Rain fade solution)

    This product is kind of like the old snake oil, they sold back in the old days. Yes, it may work to keep water off the dish, but it will very little to help with rain fade. Rain fade is a weakening of the satellite signal as it passes through raindrops. Although the signal may have to pass...

    Brighthouse POOR In Sports Channels

    That is a real intelligent statement on their behalf (What we want and the heck with what customers want). I know many of my neighbors have changed to DirecTV or DISH because they want the Marlins and/or Panthers and not so Brighthouse doesn't offer it. I have mentioned to Brighthouse...

    Brighthouse POOR In Sports Channels

    Does anyone know why Brighthouse refuses to put Fox Sports Florida on their cable system? Many areas in Florida have both Fox Sports Net Florida and Sunshine Sports, except for the central Florida area served by Brighthouse. If you subscribe to DirecTV or Dish you get both of them. I have...
