We have YTTV. I’m trying to upgrade my Hulu account from the cheap streaming to Hulu live and there are no options to do it. Everytime I search and find a link, it takes me to my account page and only allows me to do add-ons like movie channels or switch to the ad free version. I’m willing to max out the plan to have espn and I’m tired of YTTV. Hulu can’t get their shite together. Phony support is backed up 80 minutes. And live chat queue is over 75 people.

I couldn’t find it either. FUBO has a 5 day free trial. Hopefully it is long enough for them assholes to agree on the contract. Also the ESPN app worked for a bit and then kicked me out.

This is some bullshite. Apparantly, my hulu account is managed through Disney.

quote:

Hulu + Live TV and Add-ons

Disney-billed subscribers are not able to switch to a Hulu + Live TV plan or sign up for add-ons. If you’re interested in making any of these changes, you’ll want to end your current bundle subscription and resubscribe directly through Hulu. Once the remainder of your billing cycle is over, you can sign back up from Hulu’s signup page and choose whichever plan and add-ons you’d like.



My billing cycle is through 11/13. So I can't signup for Hulu live until then.

What a Fukin crock of shite.

I miss the good Ol days.

You either had the game or you didn’t and life moved on.

Now every Saturday I better get out all my passwords and apps and hope the game is on one of the 10 fuking apps and subscriptions I have or get the credit card out and fall in line and subscribe to another one.

This shite is out of control.

I went espn unlimited on hulu. Their interface is way worse but i was already getting hulu base plus youtubetv. Not going back to yttv unless they drop the price back to $50. $90 is dumb

Hulu with Live TV?


I've had Youtube Tv for a couple of years and like the picture, setup etc.
I tried Hulu live tv over the weekend because of the ESPN dispute. I canceled after trying to watch football. Horrible picture and it kept glitching and freezing. I guess I will just ride out the crap with ESPN and Youtube Tv. Never have a problem with buffering or freezing up.

Great opportunity for an anti-trust type of suit.

It's exclusive to YouTube ---I have Hulu Live and an independent Sunday Ticket. I just get on Youtube and watch the game. The sub has to be linked to the YouTube account you log into.


This is for whoever downvoted

No, you do not need a YouTube TV subscription to watch NFL Sunday Ticket. You can purchase it as a standalone product through YouTube Primetime Channels. However, subscribing to both services together is more affordable, and a YouTube TV subscription is necessary to record games using the DVR function.

It’s perfect on DIRECTV stream. Log in once and Sunday ticket is actually a channel on the guide you click on

Easier to access than YT

Thanks for posting but it costs money to get YouTube premium and I already paid for the entire season, thus, I would have to pay additional to watch the remaining games via YouTube premium.

Unless I'm missing something?

I think im just going to ride out the remaining games, then cancel YTTV.

I do appreciate your feedback.. thanks

We're screwed essentially since we purchased through YouTubeTV. It's such a joke.

I'm trying to see if they'll refund me. I'll catch Saints highlights in the evenings. It's not worth it to have to keep paying for YouTubeTV and another subscription to watch college football.

It's all too much. Pissed that we have to give in to ESPN.

I did go back and forth with google for a while and they refunded my NFL Sunday Ticket, but I had to sign up for it again via YouTube. Which is fine.


ETA: Did you check to see if they would refund your Sunday Ticket?
