If you're looking for streaming options, Hulu isn't one. Their DVR started 5 minutes into the first quarter and cut out before the fourth quarter even started.
I had YouTube TV last season and never had anything close to this happen.
damn, Vols win and I can't get the natural excitement that VHS could provide.
F^€k Hulu!

The problem is the games never end on time and there is no option to tape for an extra hour. You almost have to tape the show after the game to make sure you get the whole game.

SEC Network likely replays the game this week and you can tape it then.

I watched until the end on Hulu. Zero issues seeing that.

I think Hulu has an option to extend the recording up to an hour. This happens a lot bc the game rarely start on time if they are not the 12 o clock game

Brother and sis in law were flexing on me and the wife a couple years ago, about saving so much money switching to Hulu and cutting the cord.

They had a Super Bowl party….woo hoo. Hulu buffered so much, that the Hulu stream was at the end of the 1st qtr, at the beginning of the 4th qtr of the game in real time.

Of course, me and the wife bailed at that time to get home and catch the end of the game on our traditional cable.

In laws — “Sorry guys, we didn’t know this would happen.”

Me — “Its fine, no biggie. Like the old saying goes….you get what you pay for.”

Bro in law got red faced. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I switched to YouTubeTV from DirecTV's streaming digital non-dish version, which was an absolute steaming pile.

YTTV is mostly amazing (and at a pretty good price vs others for what you get), but with three personal caveats:

The UX on the iPhone/AppleTV interface could stand to be a bit better.
They don't carry the Tennis Channel.
There are about ten channels I'd love to drop.

None of the above are dealbreakers.
And agree that the 4K ain't worth it.

Plus Volfreak has a you tube of full games with cut commercials every week. No need to dvr and save games. He has games back to dobbs still up on his you tube. And there is a link at the top of the football forum for this weeks game.

I also have Hulu and switched over to The Cowboys Bucs last night about 10 mins before kick and they were showing a grand prix race. They decided to show the Cowboys game after the grand prix race was over. Midway through the 1st qtr. What a joke.

We switched from DTV streaming too, mostly because of the cost. YouTubeTv is a fraction of the cost and has worked well. My only complaint is that DTV is the only streaming service with Bally Sports, so now I can't watch Braves games.

Signed up for YouTube TV for this football season and have been pleasantly surprised. Save your money on the 4k option, though, imo. Only a few channels are 4k.

I just signed up for it the other day and love the picture quality...No buffering issues at all...Doing the trial and one month for 14.99 and see where it goes from there...but I like it alot so far.
