December 18, 20214 yr Woke up a little early so I turned on something guaranteed to put be back to sleep: Sportscenter. But there is no more ESPN. No local ABC affiliate. No anything associated with Mickey and his gang from Disney Fuck you rich corporations and greed. I like capitalism, but I like college football a little more And yes, I know about ESPN+ already have it so I can still watch most everything. But it still pisses me off
December 18, 20214 yr Yeah above post on cord cutters thread explains all about YTTV losing ESPN and local ABC channels due to contract issues. Lots of folks may just move to Hulu to get ESPN back. Guess who owns ESPN and Hulu -- "The Mouse" Edited December 18, 20214 yr by LTtxfan
December 18, 20214 yr Good thing it happened during the off season. J/K, I'm a YTTV user and this sucks big rat balls.
December 18, 20214 yr Eh. I can wait it out a while. They’ll work it out eventually. If they haven’t got an agreement by the playoffs I’ll get the standalone ESPN+
December 18, 20214 yr I woke up, saw the email, cancelled my subscription. The only reason I’ve ever used my YouTube tv account was for watching college football.

December 18, 20214 yr We need to sticky a giant-ass announcement to the top of every board on this site: ESPN+ does not show any of the games that come on the regular ESPN stations.

I don't think you can. I've got ESPN+ through Hulu. I just tried to click on ESPN (Sportscenter), and was prompted for my tv provider. This has always been the case in the past and is also why LHN isn't available. If a game is on any of the major ESPN channels (not +), then I think we're SOL.

The shitty thing is that the games will show up in the app. But it will then ask you to log in with your cable provider
December 18, 20214 yr DIRECTV Stream as an alternative to yttv, if one is so inclined. And it has LHN. (formerly AT&T tv, formerly dtvnow) Edited December 18, 20214 yr by Pato del Muerto

December 18, 20214 yr Pro tip: if you have parents who have the “too olds to cut the cord” then use their account number to access DTV. I have YTTV but watching ESPN right now on the iPad. (Western KY beating AP state right now)

December 18, 20214 yr Disney could kill YTV by making a bowl game package available on Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu for a surcharge.

December 18, 20214 yr This is exactly how I've watched Longhorn Network for ... literally years.How can you do that? When I click on LHN it says I have to be on the same network as their DTV box. I can watch ESPN out of the network however.
December 18, 20214 yr I can never get the DTV login to work for the espn app. I put the email and password in which works but as soon as I start to stream it says user not authorized

December 18, 20214 yr I think YouTubeTV made a huge mistake here. I canceled and I am sure a non trivial % of their customer base did or will within a few days. Bowl season was maybe the absolute worst time they could have allowed this to happen. I've been sick of their bullshit for a while, we signed up at $35/month 4 years ago and the price has doubled since then and the only thing that changed was gaining a bunch of shit channels and losing Fox Sports Southwest. I canceled once to go to PS Vue and then they killed that off so I had to come back. Looked around at the time and there was nothing better for the same money. I am hoping now there is.

Somebody needs to create a sports only streaming package. All the sports channels, none of the other bullshit I dont watch. I was already getting pissed off with the YTTV price increases, but hadnt quit yet. This will do it. Its laughable that the fucking clowns at YTTV think they have a viable platform without ESPN. They might as well shut down. Probably will just go back to illegal streams to a chromecast until i figure out which of the remaining shitty platforms is next. I'm watching a WKU/App St stream now and its flawless.

December 18, 20214 yr I scouted some of the alternatives: Direct TV Stream. Closest thing to cable over the internet, lots of channels but more expensive than pretty much every other choice. Sling TV. Relatively cheap, no local channels though, deal breaker for me. Hulu Live. Decent. 50 hours only of DVR seems pretty shitty coming from YouTubeTVs unlimited. FuboTV. Lots of channels, sports centric. 4K content options with no upcharge. 250 hours DVR upgradeable to 1000 for a fee. I am going to go with one of the last two.

December 18, 20214 yr do any of these have Bally sports? these fuckers are making it impossible to watch the state championship games.
December 18, 20214 yr I hope this gets worked out, but nothing will make me go back to the trash that is HuluLive. I’m now watching the ABC app and the really shitty Jackson State/SC State bowl game. I didn’t have to log into any “cable provider” last night to view some content, but it made do so to attempt to watch this game. Like others, I use a family member’s account. (I was just looking up some Texas HS scores and an offer for DirecTV Stream popped up, with the Bally option… $85 fucking dollars! 🤣 For a DTV product that has historically been the absolute worst platform? Damn, those fellas are hilarious.) Edited December 18, 20214 yr by Vito Andolini

December 18, 20214 yr I download the dofu live streaming app. You can find just about any televised football, baseball, basketball games on there. You have deal with one ad in the beginning but then will provide a number of different streams for the games. You unfortunately won't find the state title games on there.
December 18, 20214 yr Just now, Hozz said: I think Sling does with a $15/month sports package. Sweet. Will take a look thx
December 18, 20214 yr Looks like Sling is giving new sign ups the ESPN package for $10 for your first month. Prob worth it as a temporary solution while Youtube negotiates https://www.sling.com

The sports channels being bundled with the rest is the only thing keeping the majority of these non-sports cable networks alive.
December 18, 20214 yr Hozz my man, it seems from a previous post you’re coming from YTTV. You know how the stuff you record plays back like an old school DVR, and you can FF thru commercials? HuluLive says, “Fuck that.” It forces commercial breaks into everything you play back.. even when it didn’t originally have a commercial break there. I have literally had a football game stop mid play and a forced 2:00 break interrupts the action. Sometimes it would not allow me to “rewind” to the beginning of the game. And the limited space sucks, too. Yes, it absolutely sucks GoogleYouTube is in this dick measuring contest at the moment, but it’s a big nope for me to ever consider HuluLive as an option. I’m working around the conflict with family cable logins for the ABC and ESPN apps. Good luck!

December 18, 20214 yr I have HuluLive and ESPN+ and only issue I have is when spectrum fucks up and internet goes out. Love the Hulu UI. Don’t DVR shit as anything I want is on demand after the fact. Only negative is making sure I log in once a month while at home so I can watch on my phone when I travel.
