We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Link So basically, if Brighthouse is your cable provider (like me), then at this moment you would miss out on almost half of the Magic games. In my case, this is very, very ironic (and irritating) because I spent years up at college in Tallahassee only getting to see the Magic games that were on Sun Sports. Then, this last school year, our cable provider up there added FSN to their service. So that means now that I've graduated and come back down to the Orlando area, I might only get half the games once again, while everyone up in Tallahassee would be getting all of them. :S :S Who all here has Brighthouse? |

I have Brighthouse, but we have FSN in our Hillsborough market. I'd be pretty upset about that if I lived in Orlando, and all over a petty dispute. Can't we all just get along? |

What exactly is the sports package? I'm wondering if I have that (I just moved into a new apartment a few weeks ago). |

That really sucks. If you are in Orlando, there should be no reason to not get ALL Magic games. Here in NY, pretty much every Knicks game is on MSG. Same goes for the NETS on the YES Network. Maybe you can try to get NBA League Pass. Not only would you get ALL the Magic games, but you get every other NBA game. Its great being able to watch any other game I want. |

actually if you live in the Central Florida area you can't watch the magic games on NBA League Pass, they get blacked out. |

Ive had Direct TV for years and its rare that the signal will go out. The trick is to have a high strength signal (98%) when you align the dish. |

I have a small cable company that's included in my homeowner's association called Beyond Communication and it doesn't carry FSN, which sux!!!...but...anyways, I guess i'll bother all my friends to watch all the FSN games this season. What pretty much sucks about this cable company is that they have the Fox Soccer Channel, but they don't freakin carry Fox Sports Net!!! |

I've had DIrecTV also for a long time now and very rarely does the signal go out for me. Even with all this rain recently in NY, the signal has not gone out for me. As for the NBA League Pass blacking out games in Central Florida like dhoward541524 mentioned, I forgot about that because sometimes Knicks and Nets games are blacked out on the Package for me, but I can get them on their regular channels. |

I have both dumbhouse and defect tv. I have had both for about 5 years now. When the weather gets bad (torrential down pour) the satellite is done. Same at my bro's place (he also has both), same at my work(also direct). The bad thing about direct is they don't offer the magic in HD, but they do offer nfl sunday ticket with most HD games. With cable I seem to get espn classic, espn U, NBA tv, and i pay an extra 6 bucks a month for the HD tier package. So hopefully FSN is included in this. Even though i get it with Direct TV any way. |
