I was about to suggest this. Can't wait for the 12th when this comes out!
The Disney streaming service bundle you are talking about only includes ESPN Plus....not the regular ESPN channels including the SEC Network....I cut the cord a few months ago and was going to sign up with either Youtube TV or Sling which is $20 cheaper but have not done so yet because I have been able to find live streams by searching for them online...its not rocket science

A little aside: how is picture quality for YouTube TV.
It's great. I use a 55" Samsung smart TV and the HD quality is great. The only platform that YTTV isn't available on (currently) is the Amazon Fire Stick or Fire TV, but i'm sure that will change in the future. You can download the YTTV app on Roku, Apple, etc.
Here's a link that I used for researching when I was trying to decide between Sling vs. YTTV. It's a little outdated, as the price quote is incorrect. It's now $50 a month but still worth it, IMO.

YouTube TV vs Sling: Which should you use?

Well damn I didn't know that. Guess I'm going to have to keep Hulu live then.

I have had both and from my experience, YouTubeTV is FAR superior. Sling would buffer constantly. Before I cut off Sling, I did the 7 day trial to compare side by side. When Sling was in an infinite "spinning wheel", Youtube was working just fine. Just my experience.

I'm on a Samsung Smart TV and just use the YTTV app. I also have on VDSL service from my ISP, but it's coming in at 100Mbps so I've got plenty of bandwidth and speed.

Nice. I am using 300Mbps because I work from home. I use a fire stick. Debating jailbreaking.

I've considered jailbreaking my firestick, but I use a MESH network that isn't compatible with a VPN, so I'm opting out of that. Otherwise I'd be streaming Kodi like crazy and have no need for YTTV. But it's kind of a moot point for me now.

People keep saying "jailbreak" a firestick...but it's not really jailbreaking it. It's just installed an additional app that is for Android through the browser. It's not like the old iPhone/etc where you jailbreak it to gain whole new capabilities. You're just installing an Andoid app on and Android software that isn't available via the Firestick App Store.

Just another way of saying sideloading.

Thought I read here the game would be on there so I did the 5 day free trial with YouTubeTV but can’t find the game. Is it not on YouTube TV?

Seeing as the Washington game is on ESPN+, I sucked it up and got ESPN+ as it also includes SECN+. $5 for a couple months worth it to see the Vols.

I’ve got it and can watch all ESPN+ games, but I get this error when trying to watch SEC+ games on my phone. I’ve talked to ESPN app customer service, AT&T and DirectTV and they all say it’s the other persons issue. I finally got it on an old laptop at my house, with about 10 minutes to go in the game.
