No chance of it being on the Sports Entertainment Package?

I'm guessing you're asking because of your main package... I tried to find out what's really in the Sports Entertainment Package today. The rep didn't seem to actually have a list, but he did say that Fox Sports 1 is in the Sports Entertainment Package, but also is part of Digital Preferred. So I cancelled the Sports Entertainment Package. Guess I'll find out in a few days what channels are really in it when they stop working. ;)

Even on the DTA in the bedroom, the channel is now listed as "Fox Spo".

anon posted : Also just went to foxsports1.com and there is a tool to look up by zip code and cable provider in the upper right hand corner of the page which tells me that I WILL have Fox Sports 1 and which SD and HD channel it will be. The channel it gives me is consistent with my current SPEED channel... So, hopefully that is correct.

anon posted : I was researching this same question and I finally just went to my TV, turned on the cable box and looked at the listings. Speed HD is Channel 237 for me. The channel is now listed as "FS1HD" and the listings say "SPEED/FOXSPORTS1 Programming". It DOES NOT have the programs listed currently though. If I go to the XFINITY web site, the TV listings show "Motocross Live"... So, I don't know what exactly is going on.

If you get the SPEED channel on that right now, then you may get FS1 in its place there.

So that's a definite? With the runaround I am getting from their customer service, I am not confident.

AFAIK, when you tune to the SPEED channel tomorrow, you should have FS1 then instead.

eljefe25 posted : Morning! So, all week I have been contacting Comcast, via chat, calling, and going to their office. I have heard responses ranging from 'never heard of Fox Sports 1; it'll be in our sports package, it'll be in our preferred package, it'll be in our starter package, to I'm not sure, yes we are getting it, no we are not getting it.

Today they said they will not be getting it. I wanted to upgrade my cable to the Digital Starter in time for the UFC event tomorrow, but I am not comfortable doing that because of their ridiculous customer support.

Anyone on here know for sure?
