    Disney waited till the last second and cut the broadcast... I hope the state sues both Spectrum and Disney.

    Having the same problem. I will have to check on here from time to time to get updated info and scores on the game. Appreciate it if anyone has time to do so. I’m presently in a Brookdale senior assisted living facility. I’ve contacted their office here twice today to let them know the TV system in my room is not working.
    But so far nothing has changed.

    Disney sucks! They just want lots of money and to hell with SEC fans.Never spend another dime on a Disney movie or at Disney World.

    from what I read Disney threatened to do this if Spectrum didn't give them what they wanted- risky move by Disney

    Yeah, I dumped Spectrum a couple of years ago and picked up Sling, plus channels on the Fire Stick. Sling carries the ESPN channels. They were a terrible streaming service when I first got it, but they got a little better all the time to the point where they're pretty good now.

    This was a late Disney tactic to get the most effect for their failure. Both companies should be sued by the Florida state attorney's office.

    Why is it that no one knew about what was going on ahead of time. Had I known I would have made plans accordingly.

    I smell collusion to keep it quiet.

    YOU know Disney had to have done this on purpose... That's okay... it backfired.

    ABC is televising football games on Spectrum. They knew that station would work before our game even started... before our game came on. Why didn't Spectrum switch it to ABC or at least warn us?

    Fubo is going to charge you from Day 1.

    I just subscribed to You Tube TV and am enjoying a 2 month FREE trial. I already had a Google account so signup was fairly easy.

    You will also need a streaming device to get this.

    Watching SECN's "This Morning" right now......

    Spectrum lost a loyal customer in me last night. I blame them regardless of the actual facts
