This will be a problem eventually for whichever cable or streaming service you choose. Every single one of them will have issues with it.

The difference with the streaming services is that you don't sign a contract and can switch whenever you want.

Just got rid of directv and got YouTube tv. Very happy so far.




I made the same switch a couple of years ago. Very similar channel lineup for half the price. It's a no brainer.

That being said, DTV was superior in almost every way. Especially the interactive channel guide. I won't go back, but I definitely miss the interface.

Cut the cord with Cox TV a few months back & went with YouTube TV.
Very happy so far.

Probably another round of negotiations.

This happens so often I don't know how any can put up with it.


Yep - Disney sucks in more ways than one.

Fubu has the best interface by far but is lacking in audio and video quality.


Hulu interface is absolutely horrible.


I keep going back to YouTube TV

I’ve heard good things about youtube tv.

We've had it since it first started. The service/channel selection is great. I just wish it was still $34.99

It seems more respectable getting adult content through Dish or Directv.

May just stick with YouTube if it’s less glitchy than sling.

Made the same change last year and find it to be less glitchy. Also, watching the KY-Miss game and they just announced espn is also leaving sling

Gone from Sling. But we have the Hulu Disney ESPN bundle and still can’t get it.

People scrambling to give Disney their money


This is exactly why they will continue to peddle wokeness and pander to the left. They have zero incentive to pander to their core fan base because in spite of all the bitching and moaning they will pay thousands of dollars to watch the pigskin.

Dish is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve right now.

That’s because you have ESPN+ not ESPN channels. The only way to get ESPN channels is to buy a streaming/cable service or pirate it

We chose Hulu because YouTube does not offer History channel that my family wanted, otherwise would have gone with YouTube.


Sometimes it comes down to programming vs the interface. This is why some people prefer Fubo also.

It’s worth mentioning that YouTubeTV dropped the Disney networks last year too for a week or so. I went with DIRECTV Stream for a month and then switched back.

It’s just too easy. Getting ready to mount a 55” on the patio and it’s nice knowing I’m not having to order another prehistoric box with shitty customer service.

Considering Disney owns ESPN and Hulu, Hulu will probably never have an issue.

I really can’t stream due to a couple of reasons. What pisses me off is we(all of us in general), pay out the arse for whatever service we do sign up for, buy big screen HD TV’s to end up watching the game on our fricking phone????

I just got the free 21 day trial of youtubetv. Currently watching espn now. Have sling but found out today I’d be screwed as far as watching LSU game. I’m goof with that but now have to find long term solution.
