It's a goddamn shame we never got to the point where you could simply just pay for the channels you wanted and not have to subsidize 90% of shit only 10% of people watch.

You don't like having the option of 5 different Smithsonian channels?

With Sling day pass are you able to watch the games broadcast on ABC on the ESPN 3 channel or do you have to have an antenna to watch ABC and sling for ESPN games?

You get ABC proper games

I’ve been siding with yttv in this thing, feeling the mouse is trying to corner the cfb market. But why am I getting a one time refund of $20. Shouldn’t they simply reduce the monthly subscription fee accordingly?

And you have to actually go sign up for it. Hey Google, the signup from this guy will be Hulu and me canceling your greedy service.

Feel dirty caving to the mouse, however. It’s the same feeling you get showing up to vote.

I think this is just Disney trying to recoup some subscriptions after losing a couple million subs in protest over the Jimmy Kimmel thing.

Also it makes people aware of the whole ESPN/Hulu streaming service. There's probably a good chunk of their subs that don't know there is more than D+.

I also just got ESPN 3’s feed of the ABC game (in addition to ESPN and ESPN 2 feeds) on SlingTV’s weekend pass. Not ABC proper. I had to use the leaf antenna attached to my TV for the actual ABC broadcast.

Dumb question amnesty.... what's the difference?   They don't just show the abc feed on espn3?

I watched the 3 ABC games on ESPN3 with Sling weekend pass. It was the actual ABC feed. The difference is it's a discrete game/broadcast. You can't watch other ABC programing.

It’s like showing up to vote for Mr Burns because the other candidate is Sideshow Bob.

I posted a couple pages back, but did the sling day pass and I’m here in Austin.  They don’t have local ABC, but I was able to watch all of the ABC normal telecasts with the day pass.  I could not watch abc for non-sports stuff.  Just the games 

 

Edited to add - a lot of times, the featured game would show up first and it was the SEC network all22 camera, but the regular telecast was also available.

Now I get espn is the Debbil, but how the fuck does a future $20 credit help me out when ive now missed 2 of the last 4 full broadcast college football weekends of the year?   

Sports is the absolute primary reason why I have the YTTV sub.

D1 Football , the primary product I watch for, has 30+% of all the D1 Football that gets broadcast over a week on that channel. Including the conference I give the most fucks about. 

My subscription for the month started Oct 23 going through the same date in Nov.  

I didnt see or hear the banner notices warning us that ESPN was in a rebroadcast fight until a few days later.  So i paid for a product with the assumption it was including my primary product.

They removed the product, its now been 2 weekends and instead of telling me that I am getting a $20 credit on my current fking billing statement, I get $20 next month... but only if I actually renew AND jump through their hoops to fucking get the credit applied.

So, for those who plan to stick it out and just order a day pass, you can dig up the YTTV credit in the "Update" section of the Settings menu.

This is where I’m at. I want to see the hoops first. If it’s click here and poof, cool. If there’s anything attached to it, I’ll pass. Renewal is scheduled for the 26th.

Agreed. It’s such a fucking beating. Was listening to Boomer and Gio righteously complain about all this streaming shit. You cut the cord from Direct or Dish but it’s like 10 different fucking streaming services. And constant fights with channels “we are about to cut the cord on NBC or ABC” and it’s total bullshit. I have Sling and it’s ok. But it’s like I don’t need 200 channels I will never watch either. Fucking A!

I believe it should be in the form of an email to you from what I read above. 

Correct.  I just clicked the link from the email, which took me to a login screen for my account, then after login it said "credit applied" .   Nothing else to do

Correct, I just checked my personal email (seldom do) and it came to me yesterday.  One click, done.

If you don't want to wait for the email, just login, click your picture in the upper-righthand corner of the screen.  Click settings.  Click updates.
