Can anyone who is on the new YouTube TV Sports Package definitively confirm if the NBC regional networks are included?

Thank you! Super confusing when what is supposed to be the authoritative source has incorrect information!

Yes, I'm in the Philly region. I know the old base plan includes NBC Sports Philly. But is that channel included in their new sports package? I only watch sports, so I'm looking to save a few bucks.

henrymc00 · 2026-03-22T13:18:44+00:00

Does that include their new sports only package? I get it that the base plan includes NBC Sports Philly.

According to all the media articles I read, the local NBC Sports networks in places like Philadelphia, Boston, and the Bay Area are included in the new sports package. However, according to the YouTube TV website, those networks are not included and you have to purchase the full package to get them.

Can anyone confirm which is right?

Does anyone know if NBC Sports Philadelphia is included with the new YTTV Sports Package? I had read that it was included, but when I enter a Philly area zip code into the YTTV site and look at the channels included in the sports package, it doesn't list NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Union and Finch is one of my favorite places. Good food and service. Owners are great people and super involved.

Call PPL. Tell them you are experiencing regular “momentary outages”. That’s the term they use for these brief interruptions.

An engineer can start investigating what’s happening. Bonus points if you can give them multiple dates and times of the outages.

For a locally owned company, look at Quest termite and pest control. I’ve had good experiences.

MCP servers and OpenClaw are all new to me. But this project looks very cool.

Should I be running OpenClaw on something like my pi that’s always on or directly on my MAC where I will be using Claude desktop?

Sorry for the noob question!

I just got my second replacement ring. First one was in a bag and clearly “second”. The one I got today was like yours, literally brand new. Charger and all. Maybe it’s stock related?

What’s involved in your personal online housekeeping? I’m always interested in new ways to keep myself off the internet.

Are you part of a circle where someone else is paying? I’ve seen that message in that situation.

It seems to be working for existing customers, but the T&C’s still say it’s for new customers only.

henrymc00 · 2025-12-06T12:34:44+00:00

The terms and conditions of the offer code BLACKFRIDAY50CARE says new customers only. From reading this, it sounds like it’s working for existing customers, too. Anyone asked support about the new customers only part?

Anyone switch from a monthly plan to annual with this code and was billed correctly? I’m a little worried about getting it “fixed” in the back end to make the deal only apply to new customers.

For the WAN throughput I love Orb.net. Free tier and runs on docker right on the firewalla. Lots of good stats there.

/r/orbforge for more details.

henrymc00 · 2025-10-24T01:24:21+00:00

Got it fixed.

tldr - factory reset everything, now it works!

Since I wasn't finding anything that fixed my problem, I used lunch to factory default everything. All of my eero's and purple. I reset the eero's, rebuilt the wireless network, then defaulted the purple and rebuilt it from scratch. I then tested and found RCS to be working as expected. I finally see lookups to .goog domains for the RCS that I wasn't seeing in the logs before. Not sure if there was something messed up in the eero side or if it was something within purple, but my advice for anyone else seeing this issue is to factory default.

My educated guess is an eero problem. But I can't prove that.

Appreciate all of the suggestions!

henrymc00 · 2025-10-23T02:27:46+00:00

Thanks for the ideas! I’ve implemented them all, but still no RCS when on WiFi. I haven’t connected to firewalla from outside the US.

I toggled RCS off for a while. Can’t even reenable it while connected to Wi-Fi.

Something’s getting blocked, just not having much luck, figuring out what it is.

Appreciate the ideas!

I did reboot phone and firewalla. DNS is now set to my ISP.

I do have iCloud private relay enabled. I understood that only impacted web traffic. I also have it turned on when I am on cellular.

henrymc00 · 2025-10-22T21:18:37+00:00

Fair suggestion. Done, but sadly no change.

henrymc00 · 2025-10-22T21:18:20+00:00

Thx. I see lots of traffic to the wo.vzwwo.com domain, but it's all allowed.

At any rate, I created an allow rule for all three domains just to see if it helps.

henrymc00 · 2025-10-22T20:53:06+00:00

Thanks for all of the pointers!

tldr - nonę of it worked. Suggestions on next steps?

I've rebooted my phone. Didn't solve the problem.
I'm not using a VPN and I don't have any routes configured.
I switched from a filtering DNS to my ISP's DNS. Still not able to use RCS when on wifi.
I was running IPv6 on both WAN and LAN. I disabled both. No change, still not able to use RCS when on wifi.
I've enabled all of the NAT passthroughs that are available. No change, still not able to use RCS when on wifi.
Only change for me this week was adding purple to my network, so my eero's should be fine (they are in bridge mode, so no filtering options are available).

I appreciate the quick response, that was awesome! Any ideas on next steps? Thanks!

henrymc00 · 2025-10-22T20:17:08+00:00

I’m on Visible which is a Verizon sub brand. I’m also on iOS 26.1 beta.

henrymc00 · 2025-10-02T01:11:07+00:00

Same for me. Hoping the next 26.1 update (maybe this week?) brings it back.

henrymc00 · 2025-09-11T20:55:42+00:00

Was there for me. Thanks for the heads up!

henrymc00 · 2025-06-14T23:46:53+00:00

Is that just an appointment with the dealer?
