I have AT&T U-Verse and cell phone service and travel a lot. So I was delighted to find the U-Verse app (like other providers) allows you to use your service on the go.

But last Sunday I went to watch CBS and Fox NFL and all games were “unavailable”. The rest of the sorry programming I didn’t care to watch were.

Does Comcast, Dish, et al have the same policy?

Even the NFL channel was blacked out.
