It looks like I can watch SEC games on the ESPN+ app. I know the app doesn’t have a DVR option but can you watch games that have already aired still?

I’ll hang up and listen.

ESPN+ only lets you watch third tier content by itself. If you want to watch ESPN 1,2,3, U, or SEC network you'll need to log into your cable, satellite, or streaming provider in the app to see that content. No dvr functionality to my knowledge.

As to watching games after the fact, usually a day or two after the game, you can find the full game on YouTube.

YTTV. I've had it for a couple years now and love it. And if you have ESPN+, you can watch any overflow games on ESPN+. Yes, YTTV has gone up the past couple months, but we also just got NFL Network as well, and at $70/month, I am saving a fortune over cable/DirecTV/Dish.

YouTube TV was great, but they’ve added a lot of channels that I don’t care about and have jacked the price up. I would jump ship but the live local channel feature and ability to DVR it is important to my wife. I’d be fine with a digital antenna but she doesn’t like it.

I use YouTube TV and really like it. And it's only 50 something dollars a month. It doesn't have the SEC alternate network but everything else.

YouTube TV recently jacked their rate to $64.95 /month and I fired them. Last year they were $30....then they went to $49.95....now $64.95. Crap like that is why I fired Comcast. Check your bill.

While irritating at times, Hulu Live is the best of the worst. We really need some good inexpensive alternatives. I have somehow lost 6 channels on my OTA. It is now getting cool enough where I will be able to spend some time up in my attic to try to figure out why.

You can go with Sling plus an antenna and then buy a streaming device like AirTV that will seamlessly add over the air antenna channels to the on screen guide and DVR. You will have to add a USB drive/stick to store the recorded OTA shows on since Sling won't store those on their cloud. But it all works as one interface.

Compared to the $200+ I used to pay for directv and cable for years and years, I'm gonna hang with YouTube TV for a long time. No BS equipment rentals or HDTV charges (who charges extra for HDTV in 2020? WTF?)

And with my ATT fiber internet connection I never have to worry about outages due to weather or people using the service too much.

Any antenna recommendation? I have one I used in the past, but wife is a hard sale on the antennas. Lost the picture during her shows when it stormed and she wanted to go back to cable. I switched us to YTTV and it’s been great but yeah getting a little costly

I have two installed that I got through Amazon but couldn't tell you a model. Each cost maybe $25-30 and I picked them based on reviews. Mine are in my attic and I have 2 because here in Charlotte the local broadcast towers are in two different parts of town and I couldn't aim one to get all the channels I wanted. There's a bunch of websites which will tell you where to aim the antenna and what channels you'll likely get based on your zip code. I also have a powered signal booster (about another $30) which really helped the signal strength.

The games on the ESPN app are normally available to re-stream and watch after the fact, I believe. So, yes, but you have to have ESPN/ESPN2/EspnU/SECN access, which you normally get through a cable subscription or such.

What, you weren’t excited by the addition of the Discovery network and OWN? And for only fifteen dollars more!

I have Hulu live and have gotten every single game so far except the cbs games which i just watch on the local channel via antenna or on their website. Sometimes i cant find the game on Hulu itself if its on a espn secondary channel but i have always been able to get it online via the espn website. Hulu gives me full access to all the espn channels online. So i haven't missed a game yet.
