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. Edited December 19, 20214 yr by Rimbo

December 19, 20214 yr Antennas are dirt cheap people, and you dont need some fancy "HDTV high powered" nonsense for those times your wifi or streaming provider craps out. I have one attached to my tv at all times, and even though rarely used has come in handy a couple times...such as last Februrary when I used a generator for power to space heaters and tv, yet my cable internet provider was down. Network tv sucks, but it's better than nothing or trying to watch stuff on your phone.

December 19, 20214 yr Repost from Cord Cutter thread:I had to go into the YTTV guide and readd all the Mouse channels. But the local ABC is the only one of the 17 Mouse channels that isn't yet back. Says on demand only for now.
December 19, 20214 yr All you have to do is buy a 10 dollar digital antenna to get your FOX, ABC, CBS, and NBC games. Then use the website streameast to watch whatever ESPN games and other diddlyfuck networks.

Dammit. Logged out and back in. Still Fox, NBC, CBs, then PBS and the cable channels. What a pain in the ass.
December 19, 20214 yr All my TVs are pretty much built into the walls so adding an OTA antenna would be a real pain in my balls. Guess I'll live without ABC until it comes back on.

December 19, 20214 yr As mentioned above, you need to log into youtubetv on your pc or whatever, go to the Live Guide settings and re-check all the channels they took away and added back, they are all at the very bottom of the list, like they are brand new channels. Re-check them and then position them back in your guide where you had them before...
December 19, 20214 yr Ah ha! I had custom sort and the Live Guide on my phone didn't check all the Disney shit that was missing. I'm good now.
December 19, 20214 yr Just now, Knoxtnhorn said: Still nothing. Tried the app. Nothing. On your phone go to your custom sort and recheck all the missing Disney channels at the bottom and resort. I had the same issue. It's there.
December 19, 20214 yr Does that work for LHN? (I'm in CO so it's not one of my RSNs)Not with your YTTV creds since LHN isn't on YTTV. You can use family and friends creds for LHN. Doesn't have to be local to Texas. I use creds from.... NEW YORK CITY!? Get a rope.
December 19, 20214 yr I'd love to know how many cancellations/subscription pauses YTTV received in the last 24 hours to spur whatever agreement transpired today. It must have been worse than they could have imagined to facilitate a new agreement in 24 hours, when they supposedly couldn't get it done in the last 2-3 months.

Yeah, should be in your settings under "Live guide". All the way at the bottom. You have to check them back on as if they're new channels. It was a pain in the dick to custom resort them all...but not as big of a pain as Hulu's DVR was looking like it might be.

Switched to Hulu Live and now am getting nearly everything I had on YTTV plus the basic Hulu we already subscribed to for the same price I was getting YTTV for. Confused yet? Me, too. Hulu interface is still suboptimal but I’m peeved enough I had to switch that I’m not switching back anytime soon.

Wish they would implement a way to reorder the channels like you can on YTTV. The favorites tab is...fine...but not as good as essentially having the same thing above the rest of the guide if you feel like scrolling through.

December 19, 20214 yr digital antennas are a mixed bag go read the reviews i am 45.4 miles from the cedar hill tower. despite the elevation and height of the towers i still do not have a clear line of sight due to elevation, trees, curvature of the earth, etc. i have tried the "state of the art" indoor antennas twice since the launch of OTA HD and they failed miserably prolly see if there is a therad in help, if anyone has any recs please pitch meSounds like you may be one of the few who actually need a fancy, somewhat spendy roof antenna. One of those motorized bad boys with a remote you can use to adjust for certain channels. Of course it's not worth it if your wifi rarely goes down. Most people can make do with the same sort of $15 antenna I bought at Target a decade ago, it lives hidden behind the tv stand.
December 19, 20214 yr Yeah, same. Wish they would implement a way to reorder the channels like you can on YTTV. The favorites tab is...fine...but not as good as essentially having the same thing above the rest of the guide if you feel like scrolling through.I hated Hulu the first couple months, vastly preferred PsVue, (no longer exists) but the wife liked it so we kept it. I've gotten used to it now and they've improved it to where it truly feels like cable tv with a library of on demand movies and tv shows, and that includes some decent original movies/series. Having said that, the full complement of ESPN without LHN does suck...and makes no sense there is no way to get it now that Hulu is in the mouse family.
December 19, 20214 yr That didn’t take long, wonder who caved. My money is on YTTV. Either way everything seems back to normal

I'm usually the one who has a knee jerk reaction in investing and always wrong.

December 19, 20214 yr This site always works for games. Plus you get catjam at halftime. Great compliment to any stream service or antenna https://www.streameast.io/fc/
December 20, 20214 yr That didn’t take long, wonder who caved. My money is on YTTV. Either way everything seems back to normal100% Google caved. So many I knew, cancelled YTTV and went to Hulu, owned by Disney. What they wanted. Google had no real leverage in this deal.
December 20, 20214 yr So do you think we short Alphabet and buy Disney lol? I'm hoping the cat got the mouse. But you're probably, will absolutely, correct.

Agreed, but because it doesnt really compare to google's main revenue streams, they will eat the concession for a few months and you will see them jack the price up on YTTV as soon as they feel they can get away with it. Live sports is far and away the premium attraction for tv services. Everything else can be streamed on demand at a later date. Google had zero leverage at all.....ESPN/disney had it all.

The subscriber part of this whole TV thing could be a loss leader for them and they'll still come out ahead.

December 20, 20214 yr Said fuck it and switched to FuboTV on Saturday morning, so I could watch the bowl games. Cost me an extra $15/month, but I'll just cancel the Disney+ bundle to make up that difference...plus no more VPN to watch the Astros. I'll just get back on Disney for a month at a time whenever the Star Wars series are done for the season.
December 20, 20214 yr So I still had the ESPN app working, and for some reason, I flipped over to the YTTV app, and when I do "list," none of the ESPN channels show, but on the "recommended shows" it had the Myrtle Beach Bowl, and I clicked it, and boom, football game on ESPN was showing on my TV.

They got cocky after getting NBCUniversal to blink in that game of chicken.
December 21, 20214 yr YouTube TV sucked for a while, the red flag was when they raised the price $15 to add VH1 and Mtv. Hulu TV is pretty good and somehow Roku channels built into my TV for free has a ton of channels as well. Still no longhorn Network of course
