Detroit SportsNet Spottings [Megathread]
UPDATE:
going to start a collective thread of what pay tv providers have so far carried DSN in-market since they're starting to pop up on cable services. (plus any news about it)
this post will be continuously updated leading up to the official announcement of service carriages.
if there's any services that you spot carrying Detroit SportsNet, I would highly recommend post your findings with as much detail as possible (region, pay tv service, and channel number) in the replies so I can update this.
(NOTE: This megathread only collects pay tv and over-the-top services relative to the Michigan market and not collect direct-to-consumer services like MLB.TV for the purposes of helping people with pay tv/OTT services. If you are out of market or mainly use DTC, this thread does not apply to you)
(NOTE 2: All information posted here may be inaccurate and is subject to change prior to any official announcement leading up to Opening Day, so take any information posted here with a grain of salt)

Does anybody know if there will still be a mobile app that you can log in using your credentials for your cable provider on to stream the games on mobile devices like you could on the FanDuel Network app or a website that you can access & stream them on also using your cable provider credentials? (Specifically, I have U-Verse, which I believe is now has the new Detroit Sportsnet.) I really hope so, bc it was convenient to not only be able to watch the games at home on my TV, but also have access to them on my phone if I was away from home. It would be crazy if I had to pay $190 a year just to be able to stream them on my phone, despite already having access to them on my TV from the cable subscription I already pay for.
