    It'd be nice if YTTV would force an update.  I'm unable to watch the TX bball game w/o ABC right now.

    Yeah, it's weird that the local ABC channels aren't working yet.

     

    Edit: Oh, they're bringing them back online slowly over time. It's just delayed a bit.

    Legit YT tv is probably only profitable/survived because of ESPN/Disney

    I mean... it survives because (1) it has a really good app/interface and (2) it's cheaper than everything else.

    But yeah, I don't pay for TV to NOT get ESPN and all the mouse-owned sports stuff.

    Yes, when you watch On Demand content from YTTV, it will require you to watch a set of commercials (the little yellow inserts in the playback bar with which we are all familiar). But if you’re a YTTV subscriber, you know if you recorded the program proactively (you clicked “+” for a season pass, so to speak) you have your version which you can watch for several days without forced ads, allowing you to FF. At some point, most shows on YTTV revert to an On Demand version with forced ad breaks, but not all.

    If you use Adblock Plus, the little yellow inserts get skipped on both YouTube and YTTV On-Demand.

    <------------- was the best until it was nuked.  I am waiting for the free streams for college only.  Sportssurge has pro but I don't care for anything pro.

    No. Aside from the ads that gave your computer AIDS, the streams would often crap out, usually when something interesting was happening.

    Just received an email that Disney and YTTV have settled.  The suffering is over - for now.

    Yep. Came here to say it.

    This wasn’t Disney failing the negotiation it was google to be clear. 

    espn is gonna get their eyeballs regardless of service. They don’t give 2 fucks about YT Tv they are more of a draw to YT TV 

    And this is the truth. Alphabet was able to strong-arm NBCUniversal, because they don't have any significant sports footprint. The Mouse? Fuhgeddaboudit. They hold all the cards.

    Lmao at everything that has always been known about Urban Meyer and everyone was still tripping all over their dicks at the chance to have him as their coach. Not just surly posters, but his name was thrown around every time there was a vacancy, and he could pretty much call his shot. So much so that he was able to pass on a blue blood head job (and lord only knows how many others) to take an NFL job. Fans, media, owners, AD's, boosters...you name it, everyone wanted him or at least showed interest despite what all he'd done off the field. But now he's had a questionable night with a coed, had an alleged scuffle with a kicker and his college coaching game didn't translate to the NFL like a lot of coaches' don't. And now he's a piece of shit. Now he's toxic. Now he's radioactive. Now he'll never work again.

     

    give us credit for learning from our mistake

    So why aren't we also playing the bag game?  I knew it would come down to this with aggy, those FedEx envelopes were replenished with Jimbo and Emmert not giving a shit.

    Because NIL will eclipse the bag game in the long term, and the schools that have spent all their money on coach buyouts/extensions and the bag game are going to find themselves shit outta luck.

    CTJ and Sydney Carton are full of shit but I am legitimately proud of what they have accomplished in this regard and you're seeing the results of their work. This is only going to accelerate.

    DIRECTV Stream as an alternative to yttv, if one is so inclined. And it has LHN. 
     

    (formerly AT&T tv, formerly dtvnow)

    Or fubo.tv, which doesn't have lhn, but has a lot more and is cheaper than Hulu and isn't owned by the mouse

    Almost like The Mouse planned it that way…

    Naw. They want to reject Alphabet's restrictions on charging more, and have every right to do so. And they have a lot more leverage than NBCUniversal; their existing streaming services are well-established and profitable, and ESPN's family of channels alone are reasons why people pay for TV in the first place.

    I think Alphabet got the idea that they had more leverage than they do from the NBCUniversal thing, not realizing that the content the Mouse provides is more valuable.

    As I'm writing this, I'm actually wondering if the Hulu sub is a better deal, now, since we already pay for Disney+...

    Doing the Hulu free trial right now for a week. If shits not done by 24th I’ll do the Fubo free trial for a week and decide between the 2. Assuming stuffs not done yet.

     

    Yeah. I looked at the lineups before I signed up. Hulu's is only slightly better than Sling.tv's, who doesn't have ESPN at all.

    With Fubo.tv I spent the extra $11 for the sports package and NFL Redzone. Might cancel that bit later, who knows? As-is it's 50% more than I was paying for YouTubeTV (I get an extra $10 as a T-Mobile subscriber).

    Doesn’t The Mouse own Hulu? Looks an awful lot like it’s trying force us to jump ship to their service. 

    Hulu’s tiny DVR (or 200mb for an extra $10/mo) really sucks. 

    If you’re going to add Hulu, do so before Dec 21. Their rates are going up. 

     

    Yeah, pretty sure the mouse does own Hulu. That's not a reason to jump to Fubo.tv instead like I did, though. It just has a very underwhelming list of sports.

    All for fucking $15 off??

    Lost channels:

    Your local ABC channel ABC News Live Disney Channel Disney Junior Disney XD Freeform FX FXX FXM National Geographic National Geographic Wild ESPN ESPN2 ESPN3 (by authentication to the ESPN app) ESPNU ESPNEWS SEC Network ACC Network.

     

    Bye Felicia. 

     

    Yeah, basically these are the reasons I'm paying for TV, here.

    I canceled.  What is the consensus next best service that includes local channels plus as many sports channels as possible?

    I just jumped over to Hulu. So far, so good. Some things that seem better, some things that seem not as good, but pretty much a wash from everything I’ve seen in the few short hours I’ve messed with it.

    I'm going to give fubo.tv a trial. Looks like I get 7 days, which is long enough to see if Alphabet gets its shit together. In 7 days, someone gets the axe.

    Seems to be heavily sports focused and a much better lineup than Hulu.

    Sling has no ESPN and is a no go.

    I love the guy. He patiently worked, bided his time then took the starter's role. The year would have been much worse without him.

    There should be a program where he can take the lead. I hope so. 

    I don't get the vindictiveness against a player like Casey. He can only control how he conducts himself and how hard he works. As far as I can tell, he's aces in all of that.

    No vindictiveness towards him. I'm glad we got what we got from him, and wonder what might've been without the thumb injury.

    His Dad, on the other hand, will not be missed.

    Crossing my fingers that the launch goes well. This telescope is long in the making and will find something wonderfully interesting.

    when i saw it was using Ariane 5, I was nervous
