I got Fubo set up, and on ABC for the Vandy game. It's not in HD which really sucks on a giant TV.

I did the Sling one day, then used it on the ESPN app as my provider. Watching Texas in high definition.

Fubo just started to trickle into HD, much better now. But if it reoccurs, thanks for the tip. I assume I can use Fubo as my provider and use the ESPN app for free, even for ABC games?

ESPN app working fine with my YouTube log in


I just logged into the ESPN app with my YTTV login.

I can only watch the Vandy/Tx game. Can't access the Miami or Duke games. Says Media Not Allowed - the ESPN networks are no longer a part of your video lineup.

Have you tried accessing the Miami game or any other game other than Vandy?

Vandy is on ESPN3. The other games are on ESPN and ACC network (which we don't get anyway I think). Not sure if any of that matters.

I dusted off KODI on the fire stick for the first time in ten years. Had to update some addons and pay $3 for real debrid but I’m up and running

And you can buy an antenna to get free channels like cbs, NBC, abc, fox, etc to watch most games anyway. I made my own antenna out of simple wires and it picks up way more channels than the el cheapo antenna I bought, though they may be better nowadays but much pricer.

That’s what I thought just wanted to be sure. They are advertising ESPN Unlimited for $29.99 that has all the network channels as well.

Only reason I have YTTV is to watch the ESPN’s anyway so I might just do that and not renew YTTV.

steam East.

And Disney/ESPN are crooks already so it's not really streaming from them as much as getting back what they've stolen from you. Imagine having to pay for ESPN+ just so you can then buy the UFC ppvs at like 100$ a pop. And then on top of that many people complain about how shotty the connection is and laggy. Then throw in all the dei and woke commercials on ESPN and all the more reason not to give them a fricking penny.

Abc can easily be had for free with an antenna.

Pretty soon they'll have 27 tiers, " For only an extra $19.99 per month, you can get ESPN ++++++++++ to stream some regional sporting events if humidity level is exactly 79% that previous Tuesday."


I have this idea.

How about a tiered watch system? Pay for what you want to watch. Like the old days of long distance. Rates are based on programming like long distance calls were more expensive if you were calling cross country verses calling to a nearby state.


For example, you want to watch football, 20 cents a minute. Want to watch national news, 10 cents a minute. Local news maybe a penny a minute. Spice channel 69 cents a minute.


You can meter your viewing like a power meter.

You can’t fast forward through commercials on something you’ve recorded on Hulu?


Nope.

Since I have an ESPN+ subscription, I got a Cox login from a friend, in in.

Imagine paying 20 cents a minute to watch all the commercials while you’re at it.

Here’s another.

If this happens, start your free week trial Saturday morning, this way you can milk 2 football Saturdays out of it

I think you need the ESPN+ Unlimited to get ESPN, ESPN2, the SEC Network, etc.

With the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle, I only get ESPN3 on the ESPN app. Watching the Florida/Georgia game now on it.

Whoever downvoted, go try and see if you get ESPN or ESPN2 with just your ESPN+ access and not ESPN+ Unlimited. Go and tell me how it turns out.

I'd go back to listening to games.

20 cents a minute for a football game would be over $40 to watch one game.

Do you have an old tv? Some older tvs aren’t compatible.

I was just using that as an example.

Rates could be much much less. Except for the porn channels.

Who needs more than just a few minutes to get the job done?
