NBC Sports Live Extra app requires Golf Extra?

Hi there,
I'm trying to use my iPad to access NBC Sports' coverage of English Premier League soccer, and I have Verizon (and can access this content on my computer). The app, when I try to log in through Verizon, says I need to subscribe to Golf Extra. This can't be accurate. Emails to NBC support have gone unanswered. I have tried restarting and reinstalling the app.

I can view NBC sports extra (premier league games) on a PC, but not on my iphone or android app. Every time i try to log on through the apps it says I need to be subscribed to the golf channel to watch golf (higher packages than Prime HD to which I'm subscribed). So, I touch the game i want to watch, it asks me to log in, then says because i'm not subscribed to a higher package that has golf, i can't use the app to watch soccer.
Is that the way this is intended to work? I don't want to watch golf, and my understanding is that you can stream through NBC Sports Live extra if you subscribe to NBC sports, which I do. Did Verizon split the baby on this one, essentially forcing you to subscribe to a package with golf to get what you should already be entitled to? Is this just an app problem that will clear itself up?
Anyone else seeing this issue?

NBC Sports Live Extra app (Apple TV) not showing live play

Sunday 3rd May 7am to 9.30am - tying to watch WGC Cadillac golf event at San Francisco using NBC Sports Live Extra application on the Apple TV, but live coverage does not show (replay videos work fine - just not live). I was able to view live coverage of same event yesterday using same setup. Live coverage does work in Safari on same internet connection using xfinitytv.comcast.net, so something is broken with the NBC Sports Live Extra application.

I haven't seen it on my Apple TV yet. I restarted the Apple TV so many times and even reset it to factory settings... but still it is not showing up...

NBC Sports Live Extra sign in issue

Hello,
I have a login issue with the NBC Sports Live Extra app on my ipad.
I tried to watch Stanley Cup playoff games. After signing in with my Verizon login I got an error message saying that I could not get access to the content because subsription to the Golf channel was required. I don't have the Golf channel, my TV package is Prime HD but it does have the NBC Sports network which broadcast the NHL.
Has anyone else the same issue?
Thanks for your help,
David

I am continously having this same issue. Everything works fine on the website, so it isn't a credentailing issue.
PLease help!

NBC Sports Live Extra Error

I recently acquired a Nexus 7 and downloaded the NBC Sports Live Extra Android app to watch soccer games. After inputing my Fios credentials I was able to watch replay content, but live events generate a "User Not Authorized Error" after trying to authenticate. I changed my password and uninstalled/reinstalled the app, but the error persists. I am able to watch live games on the computer and on my old iPad, so I am certain my account is authorized. Thoughts/suggestions?

Essentially this app is crap.
The last time I was able to stream any EPL games consistently was last August when I first switched to verizon. For the past 3-4 months it just give that stupid user not authorised error no matter if I am on home wifi or outside.
Somehow I was able to catch the Manchester United game vs. Norwich yesterday (a miracle) but it stopped working again today.
Verizon Customer Service Has Been helpful and patient but nothing has been fixed.
Don't hold your breath on this one.

Can't watch NBC sports live extra

I am watching NBC sports right now. ManU vs Stoke and saw the advertisement about nbc sports live extra and it's ability to let you watch live on ur iPad. I downloaded the app and got his msg:
To watch videos, you will need to subscribe to FiOS TV with NBCSPORTS
How is that so when I am watching it on the TV at this moment?

I found out what to do. Verizon Live Chat's agent told me to uninstall and reinstall the NBC Sports Live Extra app on my iPad. I did that. When I did, I found that it still remembered that Verizon FiOS is my TV provider, so I didn't have to sign back in. And live feeds now work!

NBC Olympics Live Extra login loop.

When trying to watch the NBC Olympics streaming I get stuck in a Login loop. You are asked to sign in to your provider which in my case is Dish and I enter my information and it goes away and then comes right back asking my provider again over and over. It works fine in IE and and Chrome and I have gotten it to work in Firefox only once but it quit working. When it did work it was MUCH better in Firefox (faster and smoother). I've tried reinstalling firefox, clearing history, reinstalling flash, clearing flash cache, tried without any addons in firefox all to no avail. I'm currently using the latest verison 14.0.1. Any ideas would be great as I much prefer Firefox to the other options.

Done all that, that is always the first thing I try when a site is acting screwy. :(
I also received the following from NBC support which also did nothing to help.

NBC Sports Extra Live fails

Hello,
I am subscribed to FIOS with TV programming plan that should enable me to watch NBC Sports Live Extra online. Last time I did it was last year. Worked OK.
Today I attempted using it and got into an endless loop that looks like failure to recognize my login (I am doing this from home on FIOS Internet connection). There is no issue with my username/password as I can login to MyVerizon properly. Also, if I intentionally enter wrong username or password to NBC site it properly fails with proper error message. However, when I attempt to login with proper username and password, site just goes back to the login page and does not allow me to watch content, no error message.
Checked NBC FAQ and all should be well (latest supported browser, Firefox and Flash version, confirmed finctional; cleared cookies and cache, restarted browser and PC; all cookie and other browser settings set as they require and all add-ons disabled).
There is no support contact on NBC site and , anyway I am paying for this feature to Verizon... What is the problem? How to solve it?

Just posted about this for HBO. I tried this for NBC SPORTS and hit the Problem UNLESS I FIRST SIGNED OUT of Verizon website.
From my HBO post
A bunch of things lead to problems loging into HBO GO and many other Online Channel sites.
You must get HBO (or whatever channel you are trying to use) from Verizon
At least the first time you may first have to sign out of the Verizon site. It gets confused easily.
You must allow third party cookies
You must be running Flash, Flash must be allowed to store info for third parties.
You must not have your Browser options set to delete Information when exiting Browser. Flash takes this as deleting information when exiting a site.
The general way it works is for you to go to HBO GO site. Ask to look at something and it switches in a FRAME pointing to VERIZON and you signin. Verizon stores some information in flash and returns. That information must still be there so that HBO accepts you as authorized

Why doesn't NBCSports Live Extra work on Safari?

When trying to watch the Staney Cup Playoffs tonight I attempted to use NBC Sports Live Extra. An advertisement will play while the game is opening, but after the ad is over the screen says buffering and will not load. The bar at the bottom of the Safar screen says that there are errors while opening the page. The number of errors will continue to increase. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash but nothing changed. PLEASE HELP!!

Found a soulution, Go to the following site:

Verizon No Longer Offers NBC Live Extra

Verizon used to be a provider that offered NBC Live Extra so we could stream NBC, NBC Sports, and Golf Channel events like the Olympics, Notre Dame Football, PGA Tour, and NHL games on NBC Sports' website and the NBC Live Extra app (similar to WatchESPN). Now it looks like Verizon is no longer listed under the list of providers that offer live streaming. Why did Verizon take this away? Please get it working again!

Just a wild guess that it has something to do with Comcast owning NBC.
That would be understandable if Verizon never offered NBC Live Extra in the first place but they did. They offered it not only during the Olympics but also during Notre Dame football season. Now all the sudden Golf and NHL are coming back and they don't offer it anymore...

NBC Sports Extra Time?

When will the NBC Sports Extra Time channel be available? We would like to have more options for seeing English Premier league games. We already know about the Live Extra app and do sometimes use that but we've been waiting for this extra channel and still nothing.

I don't get it. So many other systems carry extra time. Given the time of day, there must be lots of unused space that FiOS could use for this. For example, the MLS channels. We should have had this a long time ago.

Why no NBC Sports Extra?

I was assured, before signing up, that these channels are carried. When I looked for them today, the first day of the new EPL Soccer season, I find that I was lied to. If every other carrier provides these free channels, why doesn't FiOS? I know others have complained about this since this time last year (wish I'd known that before signing up).
So what can I do to get FiOS to get with the program?

I think the OP is referring to Premier League Extra time channels which currently are not available on FIOS. However it seems they are coming soon according to this story.

I cannot watch live stream from NBC live extra using Safari

Hi, I have a macbook pro with mountain lion, safari v6.0 and google chrome v21.0.1180.57.
I cannot watch live stream on nbc live extra in safari, it gave me a black screen, however, I copy the same link and paste in chrome I could watch the live stream with no problem. I checked several threads but still didn't work out.
Can some one tell me why and how to make it work?
Thanks,
Tianyi
