One more thing... you can, and should, delete the NBC Sports Gold app from your streaming devices. All of its functionality has been moved to the NBC Sports app.
Ouch. Can you try a different browser or device? If that doesn’t work, are you ok with deleting cookies? Just find all the ones associated with nbcsports and nuke em.
Do you have NBC sports network in your Xfinity package? If so, the first time you go to the page, you need to register your TV. There should be a web link. Enter it on your computer or phone and follow the instructions. You'll get a text message code. Enter that on your TV and you should be good to go. It won't just play until you get the code.So, I have Xfinity, and a smart Samsung TV (although it is 4 or 5 years old). I can tell the remote “NBC Sports App” and I just get a screen explaining what it is, but no way to play it. And if I go out to the apps section of the Samsung TV, it does not have the NBC Sports app, and I’m not sure about how to add it. I will have to look into it. In the meantime, any words of advice are appreciated.
Yes, I do have NBC sports network. What page? I'm sorry, I'm confused, probably due to lack of sleep...

On your TV screen for the app, there should be information on how to register your device. I'm trying to remember exactly what I did, but there was a web address. I logged onto it followed instructions on what type of device and received a code as a text message. I've already registered and now I can't get back to the original instructions. Sorry. Look back through the thread and see if somebody else posted the info. I know several of us have done this.Yes, I do have NBC sports network. What page?

@sk8pics Are you talking about nbcsports.com/activate?
give
I just activated the NBC Sports Gold app on my TV (Xfinity). It says the Rhythm Dance will start at 6pm. On my computer on NBC Sports Gold, it says 11am. Is there no live streaming on the TV app?
I just brought mine up on Xfinity to check and yes, it says the same thing. I think it's just an error. It's listed first of all the competitions and the others have the correct time, and I watched part of Skate America streaming on Xfinity. Also, like you, when I bring it up on my laptop, it gives the correct time for RD.
Sorry if this has already been discussed - I'm thinking an NBC Sports Gold subscription. I'll be watching most of the events on replay and was wondering if, when you log on to the homepage if there are spoilers that you hit (i.e. news blurbs and stuff) before you event get to the videos?
I also saw the ISU videos this morning and notice that it isn’t just the top 3. There are videos of each of the full competitions including the complete gala. I’m in the same situation with NBC Gold. I bought it last year but really did not want to spend the $60 this year. So I hope that the ISU videos become “Un-Geoblocked” after each of the rest of the season’s events.I noticed that the Skating ISU youtube channel has made the videos of the top 3 finishers in each phase from Skate Canada available for American viewers. In every other channel, NBC Universal has managed to knock the vids away.
Does anyone know why the Skate Canada vids are available? If they keep this up for the rest of the GP events, I may avoid purchasing the NBC Sport Gold skating package.

The full event vids are still geoblocked for me.
We have the NBC Sports app on our PS4 and I could not find figure skating on it anywhere. And the website still says to download the NBC Sports Gold app.One more thing... you can, and should, delete the NBC Sports Gold app from your streaming devices.

If you’re using the Xfinity app and have a voice remote, try telling it. I use a Fire Stick and can fast forward quite quickly by just holding down the button.So is there a way to fast forward more than 30 seconds at a time? Because when an event freezes halfway through, having to fast forward past the first half you've already watched in 30-second increments is a bit of a pain! (This is for replays. Haven't done anything live yet.)
If you hold down the fast forward button, it increases the speed of fast forwarding on your Xfinity remote. It will keep increasing from 1- 5 until it reaches "lightning" which is the fastest.So is there a way to fast forward more than 30 seconds at a time?

Yeah, it doesn't do that. There is no circle with the FF speed when I press the >> button like I get when I watch a DVRed show. Instead, I see a || (pause) icon and then the feed jumps 30 seconds into the future.If you hold down the fast forward button, it increases the speed of fast forwarding on your Xfinity remote.

That's a plus with NBC S G. No spoilers. I still can't get it to stream so watch afterward. They usually post within 1-2 hours and there isn't anything if you don't go past the page that says live events and replays, that gives anything away.Sorry if this has already been discussed - I'm thinking an NBC Sports Gold subscription.
