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.

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.

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

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 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 not playing video

I just bought a new macbook pro in Jan 2014, and it has all the requirements that are requested by nbc sports live extra website but the video doesn't play...is anyone else having this issue? I reached out to nbc but was hoping someone on hear would be more responsive.

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.

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...

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!

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...

IPad won't open comments function of NBC sports talk.

Why won't the IPad open the comments or the make a comment section of the app NBC sports talk? It began after os6 installation.

My iPad started doing that same problem in many apps (Mail, Safari, etc -- can't remember iPod or not).
The Apple Genius bar person said that the OS was complaining about lack of available memory to run. He said this was nearly impossible since it was a freshly rebooted iPad and I hadn't gone into any other app before showing it to him.
We ended up dong the hard reset, but setting it up as a NEW iPad in iTunes and NOT restoring from the old backups. I WAS able to copy over all my old apps, PDFs and songs by dragging them from the "App Store" under iTunes to the new iPad.
What I am NOT going to do is restore the old image - since this is the second system with this problem, we're guessing that there was some glitch in the previous system OS on the iPad that was getting restored and causing the memory glitch.
In my case it's only been since Friday night, so if this keeps working well until next week I may be in the clear.
I'll try to keep you posted.
Try doing the full restart but don't restore from a previous backup, just make it a new iPad and drag-and-drop the apps onto the new iPad.

NBC Sports App disappeared

ATV 3. Had the app since it was released no problems, worked fine. Went to change the Apple TV menu seeing for it from ask to show and the app disappeared. Reboot or power reset did not bring it back.
Still working fine on my Roku stick.

Hey everyone, stop resetting and other troubleshooting steps. It's a waste of your time. I spent over an hour on the phone with the Apple techs. In the end a manager admitted that the same thing with HBOGo happened here. NBC Sports was released, we all rushed to activate, and we crashed things. So now they are doing a structured roll out where customers will get it at random times in order to prevent another crash. That's why most of the older AppleTv's already have it back (less users). Just sit around and wait. I know it *****. I'm ****** off too. But it will come back. In the meantime, I'll just be happy I have a Roku too..

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

Content not authorized on NBC Sports

I'm using the NBC Extra app on my Windows smartphone to watch sports, and for the past month or so it's been fine.
This weekend however I've tried to watch the Barclays Premier League and on every game I've gotten the following message:
"you are not authorized to watch this content. Check with your provider for more information"
No other content is affected, (I can get NHL etc) and my programming package has all the channels. If I watch the same game on the website, which uses the same Fios login to authorize, it works fine.
So to sum up, I only have a problem with Premier League, and just on the NBC Extra Windows phone APP. No problem on the website for this programming, and no other problems on the app.
I've not been able to find a way to contact Fios about this via email or chat. Will try calling when I get a chance but I figure I'm not the only one having this.
Seems to be some sort of problem with the authorization for this category of content not getting cleared to the app.

I have been unable to watch any NBC Sports Netweork programming on this app eventhough I have the Prime HD package which includes NBC Sports Network. This happens with a Windows or Android phone. I think there is an authorization problem between Verizon and the app. I have tried deleting and re-installaing with same result.

Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?

After doing the iOS7 update (and iOS7.0.2) I decided to add my music to my phone (I never had music on it before).
I discovered that there were 20 very random and obscure broadway songs that were on my iPhone in addition to the 60 songs I just synced. They had the iCloud icon by them, unlike the songs I had just added.
After doing research I found that the broadway songs were technically "purchased" on iTunes although they are not songs I would have ever purchased- in fact I have never once purchased anything on iTunes. This isn't my worry though, I am assuming it must have been some random free download I did at some point?
I went to settings > music > and turned show all music off. This did NOT work for all of them and only solved the problem 80%. There are still 4 of the random song on my iPhone. They DO NOT show up in my iTunes library on my computer and don't even exist on my computer.
With the other songs I can left swip and delete but these 4 songs won't! Why won't these four songs left swipe?
I am going crazy and have tried restarting my phone, restarting iTunes, re-syncing, turning off the iCloud. NOTHING WORKS.
Please help. I am a normally a very smart and tech-savvy person and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I don't want to wipe everything- which as a solution is a pretty weak solution.
Why won't certain songs left swipe to delete off my phone when I am in the music app?
Why do I have extra songs on my phone that don't appear on iTunes on my computer?
Where did these songs come from and how do I get rid of them?
Much thanks!

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)
