new NBCSN

[jhetfield99]

What's the latest word on when the latest iteration of NBC Sports Network will be part of DirecTV?
And then what packages will it be part of?

I thought maybe it would happen for the Winter Olympics. I see it listed as 619, with some additions dashed 619's and typically will list a Big 10 or Big East game that had been previously only available streaming in Peacock.

NBCSN was added to the Comcast and YouTubeTV last fall, but the roll out was quiet since NBC doesn't want people cancelling Peacock, and I think plenty would if they only have it to watch a certain sport league. I had a ton of pals with YouTubeTV and they had no clue it was added to their package until I explained they'd had it for a couple months in reply to them complaining about Peacock (which overall is terrible for watching sports if you're part of the DVR age.)

My fear is they're going to require the Sportspak, which is likely pointless for me to get with the channels I get via my legacy programming package and the always rising RSN tack-on fee (which is becoming less and less valuable with the consolidation/elimination of many of the regional sports networks that existed mostly to show MLB.)

As of now DTV's content is just limited to the stuff on the part time NBC Sports channels in the 619's. Some of which includes games carried on the new NBCSN.

No announcement has been made about them picking up the 24/7 feed

If they start testing the 24/7 NBCSN feed, it will be mentioned in the TPN Maps thread

Even for those games, such as when Mich at Purdue was listed on Feb 18th at 6:30pm on 619, if I tried to switch to or DVR the game it said I did not have the right package.

What is required to get the NBCSN channels? I only see 619-2 in my guide, not the rest. Do you have to subscribe to Peacock through D*?

 

[KyL416]

It's still not listed in the online lineup and wasn't included in the PDFs that were last updated in January. It might be a sports pack exclusive, or something that requires Peacock, which is also now part of Movies Extra.

Which package and add-ons do you subscribe to?

The new NBCSN is just a simulcast of Peacock. Nothing extra.

Right, but if I am am to get it through direct, then I can cancel the Cock.
Which is what I am rooting for, if I will get NBCSN without having to buy another package.

My subscription to Peacock runs out on March 15th. I'll let you know after that if I still get content on 619.

619 says big 10 tournament but I get 721 message . Do I need sports pack??

Sorry just re read message above ok
I have peacock but not via D*

Ill have to see if it's cheaper via D*

Peacock Premium is now part of Movies Extra for $9.99. The D2C price for Peacock Premium is $10.99.

Like I mentioned earlier, it's still not listed in the package page, and they never posted an Insider article saying how to get them. Originally NBCU branded these channels as "Peacock Games", but after launch they were rebranded to "NBC Sports"

I get them, but I have Premiere (which includes Sports Pack) and Movies Extra

We need someone who has Sports Pack, but not Movies Extra/Peacock to confirm if they get them.

About a week or two ago when I logged into my DIRECTV account there was an option to get Sports Pack free for a month but I didn't sign up for it so today I was going to try what you suggested above but the free month was no longer available. So I looked in my account anyway for Sports Pack and there isn't even an option to add it to my account under Addons. The sports addon section only listed MLB EI, NHL CI, NBA LP, and FOX Soccer. Sports Pack was nowhere to be found. I have the Ultimate package so it should be there. Is DIRECTV doing away with Sports Pack?

 

[KyL416]

Sports Pack isn't going away, it's the only way to get certain channels like Red Zone, Willow, Strike Zone and the out of market feeds of the RSNs, while for lower tiers it gives you additional sports channels from the higher tiers.

It's probably under premiums, or there's yet another rendering glitch on the site.

I looked under all addons and it just isn't there so it must be a glitch of some kind.

I forgot about strike zone ch. I might have to re add sports pack
I also lost cbs sports ch.

Ok ill think about it

Must be a glitch. Here are all the addons I see. Didn't screen grab the porn and international addons but Sports Pack was not in either of them. No Sports Pack anywhere.

 

[Don in CT]

It's in the clear with YTTV. No Peacock subscription required.

 

[dtv757]

Hopefully one day we can get the re launched NBC SN
