  • For those of you using Direct TV, are they your provider for your fax machine and rotary phone as well?

    whoever is his directtv rep, has to work 1 day a month 

  • The most satisfying thing I did 5 years ago was climbing the roof with my socket set and launching the DTV dish on the driveway and smashing it with a hammer. YTTV for the win.

Sounds like a YouTube tv trial is in your future.

Local ABC as well?

yep

 

I have DIsh and for two years, Fox was not available. Not Fox News or any of that shit-- that was all still available, I mean the normal Fox channel. I wouldn't have given a shit, but there was a football on Fox that I couldn't watch. 

Its back this year though. 

 

Still able to watch through the ESPN app?

Always at the start of the football season. 

LSU have a Houston radio affiliate?

I still have it? Is this a regional thing?

Hope DirecTV (stream) people have antennas, because this isn’t cool.

I pay $340 a month to fucking DirecTV because they’re supposed to be the best for sports. They first lose Sunday Ticket last year and now this shit and the beginning of football season. Unacceptable.

Jesus Fuck!

Oof. I pay $79.01 for YTTV. No regionals or Sunday Ticket-esque packages, though. 

Log into the app that gets around it

Correction that doesn't work.

I have 7 TVs with 4K boxes on every TV. DirecTV was the go to provider for power users with multiple TVs in room setups like me

YouTube TV doesn’t have SCHN for Astros or Rockets. 

Anyone have any idea why Austin ABC hasn't gone dark yet?

I'm able to watch KVUE.

KVUE is owned by Tegna. Disney owns 8 local affiliates, including in LA, Houston, Chicago, Philly, NYC and Raleigh-Durham

So Houston lost their ABC

YTTV and the rest need the ability to match Dish, etc. channel numbers instead of having to scroll so much. If my 86 year old dad wants channel 8, it would be nice if he had a reasonable way to input an 8 and get there.

I've struggled through this for years. A family member shares now and I'm good. 

I'm seriously considering and IPTV solution. 

My buddy gets everything in the world.

Edit: That he has any interest in, which is sports.

Am I the only one somehow still getting the feed on abc on DirecTV?

Good lord. That’s ridiculous.

I have 9 tvs all running YTTV on Rokus. I pay $89/mo for YTTV.

Bailed on DTV 4 years ago and haven’t looked back or missed a single thing I wanted to watch.

On top of that we use a Verizon 5G home WiFi box to power it all for $50/mo. Works just fine at about 50mb/s.

Lol at paying a cable company $340 a month. OP checks out.

My wife knows and is comfortable with our setup. The amount of hassle I have to put up from with pulling a switch to another provider like YoutubeTV in which we’d not have the same number of premium channels we currently have is not worth it. TV is our primary form of entertainment DirecTV satellite has the best picture quality on the market. DirecTV forgot who their biggest customers are - power users with elite home theater setups and commercial users. Don’t fuck with us.

Hostages need to be pacified.

Well. Let’s see.

Main living room
Master bedroom
3 daughters rooms
Master bathroom
My office
Her office
Patio

God forbid that something happens on a screen that someone misses.

FWIW - All but 2 of them are $269 Roku TVs from Costco.
