ESPN/ABC just went out on YouTube TV [11/14 it's back!!!]

[foolonthehill]

I made my own HDTV antenna so I could watch ABC. It is actually very easy. I just used cardboard instead of wood. Im picking up 54 channels right now.

ESPN, ABC, SEC SPORTS NETWORK are NOT back on YouTube TV now. I signed up for the Disney/Hulu/ESPN package for 29.99/month. Watched Vandy/Texas and watching UGA/UF now. Will drop it if Youtube TV starts broadcasting the channels that were effected.

Someone mentioned a Sling one day pass

If you have ESPN plus you can watch the games on ABC

 

[captainsword]

I hooked up my old antenna. I’m amazed at how many channels I get with just an antenna. With YouTube TV I got around 90 channels and I watched about 10. Right now I have about 90 channels and watch about 2. Maybe I’ll rewatch Gilligan’s island for the fiftieth time in my life.

 

[molsen81]

It looks I already had ESPN +

 

[VolJarhead]

I just did the Fubo TV Free Trial heck even got the ESPN unlimited with it. The reg price after promotions run out are same as YTTV. So heck I may cancel YT and Stay with Fubo!

Disney owns controlling stake in Fubo so they got exactly what they wanted.

Does that include DVR?

 

[All Vol!]

That’s what I did too.. working fine- but the app kinda sucks and is slow.

Oh okay I haven’t experienced that yet, could it be your connection/wiFi?

 

[All Vol!]

Wait what am I watching? Oh, it’s CBS….,,,,,

Care to edit your suckers post?

 

[bigdaddy]

Didn’t free 5 day trial of Fubo

 

[BigOrangeGirl]

$11 Walmart antenna and I'm good to go. GBO!!!

We went and bought an antenna as well. I’m not subscribing to yet another service right now.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but you can sign up on ESPN for $29.99 a month for first 12 months and get everything you need to watch all the games on espn/abc on espn, hulu, and Disney plus.

If you do that, you're going to be watching more commericals than you would on any other streaming service. The games start out live, but Disney is adding commercial time to their "live" streams on their new ESPN Unlimited that every other viewer doesn't have to watch. At that point, it's no longer live programming.


Ha ha. I learned this the other day from a YouTube video I saved to my "Watch Later". I just went to fetch that video to link it here, and it isn't on YouTube anymore. The guy actually proves that it is happening in this video. It's inarguable.

 

[slobberknocker]

I guess I'm the few that use an antenna to get local channels.

 

[RandomUTfan]

I did find this though. This guy does a great deep-dive on exactly why Disney/ESPN finds itself where it does right now.

I have it until my billing cycle ends on the 25th. I fully expect them to resolve it and I'll cancel my cancellation. There is no satellite to take down or cable to cut. You just toggle a setting.

If you cancel YTTV, they refund you prorated? And if you add it back before the next billing cycle you don't immediately get billed for a month? I did the Fubo free trial, but haven't cancelled YTTV yet. Thanks for the info.

Does that include DVR?

No, that's why it's a non-starter for me.

For me, I'm locked in until the 25th. No pro-rated refund. Signing up for fubo trial

I am not sure....I'd have paid the 29.99 just to watch all these games today... $1 a day for a month....I've spent more for less in the past.

There's no DVR on ESPN Unlimited.
