When realistically do we think a deal will be reached?

I did a free trial for DirecTv stream and the picture seems to be better than YoutubeTV. The UI isn't as good, but I am considering switching.

The problem with switching to Fubo, Hulu Live, or the ESPN Ultimate is that is exactly what Disney wants you to do since they own all of those. YTTV seems to be trying to draw a line in the sand - which is admirable but also I need to watch LSU.

The nice thing about DirecTv Stream is that they have the regional sports network so you can watch the Pelicans look like arse as well.

I switched to Hulu Live + TV yesterday from YouTube TV. The interface isn't as smooth, but it's fine. I have all the channels from YT TV plus MLB Network now so that's nice.

Not sure why this has so many downvotes lol. I’ve always had Hulu live, the only thing you don’t get is the quad box but you never have to worry about this exact situation

I use Fubo TV...mainly because they carry the Astros and Rockets games and YouTubeTV doesn't...

DirectTV Now is also an option. Sling TV is another option.

They're downvoting bc Hulu is owned by Disney. IDGAF who owns who, I just want to watch football.

Hulu ESPN bundle is $64/months. With the Live TV option it’s $88/months. You get all the ESPN channels plus ESPN+ and SEC+ included so don’t need separate ESPN app.

Just a heads up, DirectTV is constantly involved in these disputes as well

Yep. Disney is at the root of all of this and eventually nobody will be able to afford to watch sports.

I just hope the backlash against Disney is so strong right now that they reconsider for a little while. Seems like a bad time to try and extract more out of the consumer.
