What do you think: will YouTubeTV/Disney work it out before CFB games tomorrow?

If not, I am going to jump ship and switch to Hulu--which I hate to do.

I have an HD antenna, I'll be fine. Disney being an a-hole here, so I'm not switching to anything they own if I was to switch because of this.

You can't get ESPN or SEC Network games on an HD antenna.

USCe plays Ole Miss on ESPN tomorrow night. I want to see that one.

I'll blow money at a local bar tomorrow. Then see how this plays out.

Switching to hulu is exactly what disney wants, its antitrust stuff imo.

Disney bought FUBO, they are flexing to try and catch up, don't expect them to cave anytime soon.

Fubo has a free one week trial. Is Fubo worth a crap?

Anybody have a decent solution or option they recommend? I’m indifferent on streaming or antenna but JFC I’m tired of the streaming money grab

Would happily shelf YouTubeTV. I remember when it was cheap and now it’s $90/mo

I wish Youtube TV would show us the numbers that Disney is asking and what it would do to our bill. Let us make the decision if we want it or not.

I think Disney will play hard ball and use this as a way to divert more people to buy their ESPN sports package.

If a deal is reached any time soon, it'll be Google/Youtube caving to Disney.

ESPN Unlmited is cheaper. Then get an antenna.

ETA: Sling has day passes I believe.

They will not resolve it by game time. I’ve been through this shite before with other providers. Takes a week or two at least.

DIRECTV and FOX fell out on the eve of an NFL season. I was sure they’d work it out, but it went two+ years. Had to use antenna for 2 years of NFL, a Super Bowl, and two Daytona 500s. Directv then fell out with ESPN/ABC, so I switched to YouTube TV.

And here we are gain.

Looked at that today. Still have no fricking idea how to signup for it, so frick them, and frick Disney. I don’t want your fricking bundle. I don’t want Disney+ even if it’s “free”.


What i’d like is to keep YouTube tv and just pay for espn, espn 2 espnu, secn, accn, b10n, Fox sports, tnt/tbs, USA.Thats it. I don’t need any other channel they offer.

If you’re going to switch to another streaming service, don’t switch to Hulu. You’re doing exactly what Disney/ESPN wants you to do.

So ESPN Plus doesn’t work without ESPN apparently. The messages I’m getting on my TV and app want me to upgrade to ESPN total access for $30 a month.

I did that yesterday. Subscribed to ESPN unlimited. Kept You Tube TV. I’ll take it month to month and hope it gets solved soon.

And did you subscribe to just espn unlimited, or some bundle with it in it? B/c I don’t want their other shite.

I’m watching gameday on YouTube right now. Just searched college gameday live stream and it came right up.

Disney can go to hell

I’m just going to let it ride this weekend because LSU is off and there plenty of decent game I can watch (plus I want to watch the World Series tonight). We’ll have to see if they’re not resolved by next weekend.

All of these regular season games have multiple different streams on YouTube to choose from. Playoffs and big Bowl Games are a different story.
