Without ever seeing the ACCnetwork due to Comcast..

what are your personal thoughts as to its coverage of ACC football and particularly in relationship to Clemson.
Side note: I've only missed seeing Clemson play live on TV twice and used & paid ESPN once to stream and used & paid College Football site to hear game on a radio broadcast from Clemson station.

Like you, I have Comcast. I have no favor towards Comcast, but I would be reluctant to blame Comcast. ACCN is likely to blame as they came to the table awfully late to make the deal. Sure seems like ACCN was pretty slack on getting deals closed. Just my $0.02 amd worth every penny

I enjoy the ACCN and think the coverage is fine. The quality of the broadcasts and the announcers is probably in line with ESPN2, ESPNU, and SECN. It isn't on the same level as the main ESPN or broadcast networks, but it isn't horrible either, at least not for football. Some of the other sports, such as soccer, aren't as high quality, but the fact that those games are now on TV is a huge improvement. Additionally, Clemson gets a lot of coverage on the Packer and Durham show in the mornings, as well as the other football talk shows. Having Eric Mac Lain on the network is a plus too.
Comcast and Disney signed a 10 year agreement back in 2012, so that contract doesn't expire for a few more years. The fact that Comcast did not give in for the entire football season, nor the start of basketball season, tells me that it is not going to happen. So, you can either stick with Comcast and wait a few years until that deal expires and they have to come to a new agreement, which will include the ACCN, or you'll need to find a satellite or streaming service to move to.

If you have a Tv with the ESPN app or

another streaming device you can use the username and password of the provider of someone who gets ACCN to watch the games. The ESPN app will allow three concurrent streams.

I have comcast but use the in laws sign in to access it through my app on phone or my tv using a firestick. I usually use my phone at 7am to see what they are talking about.
I enjoy the 7am Monday morning discussion since it's mostly about football, but to be honest, I normally don't try to view it too often after that.
After they start the bball or soccer spiel, I just don't care right now. They'll bring a volleyball or soccer coach on to talk and i simply move to something on comcast.
I would tune to it much more often if comcast carried it. It's a pain in the butt to start with the phone, then firestick..etc.
I enjoy my dvr'd college football live and inside college football shows. FF through the bs.
Pack gets a little annoying when antagonizing the SEC for what they say. Yeah, it's deserved but no need to stoop to their level. For example, this morning they were pumping the UVA vs Clemson soccer game. Pack literally said the "game of the century/decade /etc" at least 10 times in a matter of minutes. I instantly turned it off.
But to each their own. Don't get me wrong, im happy we at least have this coverage, but it needs to be brought to Comcast.!

The network is A+ in my opinion. Our Tigers get super coverage and I can’t recall a negative post about Clemson ever.
One of the best things that has happened recently. Dabo approves too!

There has been a lot of Clemson football coverage. I appreciate having a network dedicated to the ACC. I don't bother with the regular ESPN networks unless they are showing actual games that I want to watch. It's great having Packer on daily. I consider him to be the voice of reason in an otherwise SEC-slanted world of college football.

I purchased YouTubeTV while I was in NYC and as soon as I went home to FL dropped Comcast. It was a lot of fun handing them the boxes back and giving them the reason was that they were not carrying the ACC Network. I still have the YouTubeTV even though I have Spectrum here at my company gig in Kentucky. I like YoutubeTV for recording shows that I want to watch later. It's great.

Fire Comcast. Support a service which offers ACCN.

I am retired so I watch Packer and Durham every day. I am very pleased with the network and really enjoy Packer and Durham. Eric MacLain is a regular on the show also
