I've never once had success with this.. do you just search for the game and that's it?

Yep, oddly enough there's usually some Vietnamese name on the channel like Nguyen. The games that are on network TV like Fox ABC CBS NBC get shutdown rather quick. However, the ESPN networks usually do not and can usually go most, if not all airtime-- purely speculating but it's probably something due to YouTube TV vs Youtube that might make it hard for them to pull it down. Only works for college, NFL games get taken down real quick.

Also, the realstreamhub site above is great and I believe one of the guys who helped put it together is here on the site as we've DM'd before.

This is a good one too. It has every cable station in addition to sports streams.

Cheapest way is to get an IPTV service. They are cheap and they usually have all the channels. Plus you get all the regional Network channels (i.e. ABC chicago, austin, NY, Miami, Clev, new Orleans, LA, etc). It can have buffering issues and they can be a bit sketch, but usually under $50 for3 months. 

What’s the story with all these sketchy sites? Aren’t they just infecting your computer with malware so they can steal your banking login information? What is their business model, if not that?

I’m once again doing my annual cord cutter analysis. As probably the last U-Verse customer in the Southwest United States, I have forfeited the right to make fun of my deal parents anymore for keeping their rotary dial phone well into the 1990’s. 

The prices on U-Verse have now reached a $85-100 per month premium vs other alternatives like Hulu+ and YTTV, with the only advantages now down to having Astros, Rangers, Stars, Mavs, Spurs, and all other networks on an easy clickable remote. Any other non-Uverse option loses Astros. The other teams could be purchased separately from a different service if necessary, or are already free, like Stars on Victory+. 

So until I read that YTTV could have Fox go dark, I was getting ready to turn off U-Verse this week. Now I’ll wait until next week.

I wonder how many people I can share my OTA stream via my plex server 🤔

I have a CDN if you can give me and an rtmp link.

I also looked on Samsung+ LG TV Plus and Google Channels or whatever. 

Some of them all have a combination of 4-6 local channels and have some fox sports derivatives. All of those are free and come with most major TVs made in the last like 5-6 years.

Here is an example. BeastTV : #1 Choice IPTV, Over 25K Channels & 8K Quality

1 month is $12 for 1 TV, if you want to try.

When I looked into this several years ago, this was not possible via Plex. But if you can figure it out, I'd take another look at it.

What's the delay on it? I can rebroadcast with OBS screen cap, but don't want if to be like a whole minute behind.

Yea I'm not sure if I can create a stream from my plex which uses my HDHomerun for OTA.  Unless I start adding everyone as users (hell no lol).  I think the only way to do it is through a DVR service of some sort.  But that would add delay to the stream.

Tvapp link does NOT have any pop up ads on any of the cable channels or sports streams. I have never had any issues getting it to work but you might not get a HD/4K feed for a popular game UNLESS you subscribe to their service. Their cheapest subscription is $15 a month and you get simultaneous streams to 2 different devices, a normal channel guide, HD/4K channels and is compatible with Apple TV/Roku/Fire Stick. You can get it to work on more devices on more expensive plans. Follow their instructions in downloading an IPTV player from the applicable App Store for you device and configure it. Payment is by Bitcoin only. I don’t subscribe to their service. I use that site only if I need sports streams that I can’t get on DirecTV — for the bullshit Fubo/Roku/DAZN exclusive events done for Euro 2024 and Club Wold Cup this year and PPV events. I get the stream going on my phone and AirPlay it on my Apple TV. TV app is the easiest and cleanest solution I have seen out there.

locally? Almost nothing. I'm typically ahead when watching OTA against friends that have cable or streaming.
