Despite the UI issues, I decided eff both sides and went with Direct TV. Same channels, seems like a better picture, and $30 less than YTTV. UI is not terrible, but definitely not as good as YTTV. No multiview either but I can deal with it.

Is it? It’s showing that their packages are $89, $95, $125 after the original discounts go away ($35 off first month, then just $10 off the next 2) And the cheapest package doesn’t even include the sec network which means i’d have to go for the mid tier $95 package, and when you do that you get charged an extra $13 for a “regional sports channel fee.”

So with the discount I’m paying $74 that first month for the mid tier package, then about $100 for the next two months. After that discounts go away and I’m left paying about $110/mth + tax.

So it looks like direct tv is about $25 more expensive than the base YTTV plan starting at $84/mth (which includes SEC Network).

I hope this doesn’t come across as dickish, that’s not my intent. I’m wondering if I’ve missed something. I’m also trying to come up with an option that doesn’t directly reward Disney for pulling this shite, but after running the numbers I’d only save about $9 the first month with DTTV, then I’d end up actually paying more than YouTube moving forward.

I’m surprised they tried to go the legal route to get accountability. She should’ve just named and shamed him in her original social media posts, assuming they know the name of the person.

Reading through this thread, and lsu sounds like a shithole. People clown on A&M and its culture, but I’ll take that everyday over what I’m reading in here.

I just accept this show as an enjoyable buddy comedy with the spy stuff secondary. I don’t think there’s been a realistic plot in any of the seasons. I’m digging Ho’s scenes this season

Just finished the season, and for me it felt like they started to lean too heavily into the comedy side of things. There’s always been levity in the show, but this season was bordering on silly at times. I still enjoyed it, but would prefer for them to play it a bit more straight.
