So Comcast doesn't carry Fox Sports 2? I've been trying to find it, but no luck.

I would be interested in switching to DirectTV but I love the speed of Comcast internet. Any advice on internet to go with DirectTV? I see there is a Verizon option but it only maxes at 15 mb.
I switched from Comcast to DirecTV a few years ago,I kept my Comcast internet and basic cable too just for the few times Directv has weather issues,I think its cheaper for the internet when you keep the cheapest cable plan.
I picked up Directv because Comcast didn't offer Speed (Fox Sports 1) in HD here or Fuel (Fox sports 2) at all.

Damn it!........I've been preaching on here for the past 3 years to you guys...............get DIRECT TV!!

I've gone the route of Dish and Comcast..............they do NOT compare to Direct TV! best thing I ever did was switch to them!

When the SX season or next summer when the nationals start up again.........don't get left behind and get Direct TV! They fucking rule!

This is exactly why i switched. When I used to have Dish.....they wouldn't carry Fuel ( now FS1 ) and I would miss all the races.

One more thing.......The HD on Direct TV just "looks better ". I'm not joking , as the HD feed seems to be a lot more crisp and vibrant.

I just talked to someone at Directv and they wouldn't even answer my question about Internet until I bought a tv package first. Oh yea, let me go in blind coach. Whatever!!! I asked about speeds and if they had any caps on GB's and they couldn't even answer my question. Customer service is already not looking good.

Rather than bitching about Comcast (they have me by my nuts) I am just really hoping it may be streamed similar to the nationals. So far my Google searches haven't turned up a damn thing about this even streaming though.

Keep your internet with whoever you have as your provider and just get DirecTV. I have Time Warner for my internet and DirecTV for my TV. The cable company will give you all kinds of incentive to stay that could save you money for a year, but don't do it! take the DirecTV plunge you will be glad you did!

Guys I get your point... I have been one of the biggest supporters of the TV packages lately. I am normally one to say something like "this is much better than waiting a week or two, or them showing it at 2:00am". We have made great strides but this is a step back...

Having said that, I don't think it is Davey's fault or Feld's fault... the killer was Fox taking over Speed and turning it into a Soccer UFC channel... nothing anyone in MX/SX can do about that.

It just sucks.... so yeah, I have gotten used to seeing 90% of the races live on TV. That was a good thing!!! now it might not be so good...

A little bitch and a little moan. Because I will miss what we had for the past few years.

my 2 cents

For such a small sport, I think it's pretty good. Just try watching college football lately, Longhorn network, Altitude network, Big Ten network ect.

No. Just a few years ago you could catch the motos next day on Speed, which was fine for those who like to ride on Saturday.
I wasn't a total motohead when they were on a week later so I don't remember those days...

For those switching to Direct TV if you don't mind PM me and we both can get $100 for referrals.

For those already with Direct TV I recommend calling yearly and tell them you are going to cancel because it's getting too expensive and switching to Net Flix or other streaming options. You need to get to retentions but they will then get you bill credits to get at least $20/month off and other freebies such as Sunday ticket or free movie channels for 6 months. You will most likely need to sign up for another year contract but to me the savings was worth it

It wouldn't surprise me if you see Fox Sports 2 going HD on more providers with the realignment Fox did across its sports channels. Quite a lot of their top soccer is on F2 now that they've ditched Fox Soccer. Fortunately, both are HD with my provider (a relatively small one).

CBSSports is SD on my provider, but I can't imagine why that would be Youthstream's fault concerning the MXdN broadcast. The more noise you make with your provider ~ even half the energy spent bitching here ~ the more likely you are to get satisfaction. There's no way any of the promotional bodies are in a position to manage let alone get leverage on a network to cut deals with numerous fragmented providers.

My cable provider doesn't even offer Fox Sports 2. Can't even pay extra for it.
