Bad News for YouTube Tv

Wouldn't the YouTube streams be pirated? 

Yep, but I've watched three games on YouTube pirate sites this season (including last week's against Mississippi State) and the quality is good.  There was only one interruption.  YouTube doesn't seem to be very aggressive about removing them for some reason.

This is far better than the scam pirate sites that set off alarms on my anti-virus and uBlock Origin apps or extensions.

I'll be watching the Vandy game on ABC since I still have cable.

I assume they’ll figure it out because they’d have millions of upset customers on college football day.

I can confirm that if you have espn+ you will be able to watch the game on the espn app.  

This is the same s&*t that happened with directv a couple of years ago right before the big 12 championship game. I switched to youtubetv then and have loved how long the recordings last, but the last few months with all the disputes are ridiculous. I’m with everyone else on here stop telling me you’re acting in my best interest and Disney is evil. You’re freaking owned by google. Pay up and you’ll make it up with advertising, but the little guy is getting stretched way too thin all over the place.

Always a game of chicken. I would bet we get a resolution by this evening.

I don't know. The DirectTV blackout lasted around 2 weeks I believe. We'll see.

Honestly, with YouTubeTV going up to $89/mo, I've been wanting to look around. This is making me finally do it. The Hulu with Disney and ESPN plus is tempting.

Thank you for that. Was pretty sure, but not 100%

Oh wow ok sorry about that. I was on their website and used their chat function and was told SEC Network was not available.

I like SEC Network and SEC+ for volleyball 

Just a heads up but if you go to the Disney+ website, they are offering a 39.99/mo for 12 months promo. You get Hulu Live TV, Disney Plus, ESPN Unlimited, and NFL Plus.

They have a paragraph at the top for all the YouTube crossovers lol. They are not playing around about battling YouTube TV.

We aren't "TV nuts" but we enjoy watching our fair share. Switched from Cable to YTTV. With the Disney dispute, currently doing a 5-day trial for DirecTV Stream. Its not perfect, I think the user interface is slow as anything. Its just as expensive as YTTV, and even more if you get the Choice plan to get all the conference network stations. With that said, it has a great picture and is the closest thing you will find to cable. Even with the added price of DirecTV stream and my wifi package, I am still saving about $70 a month compared to what I was paying previously.

Goodbye YouTube TV. Hello Mickey…or at least until you have the SEC rights! 🐁

Ipvanish + fire stick

I use the app fire sports.  There are many others out there. 

 

Prior to that, I would go to YouTube.  Just search for the game, and you'll always find a few channels with it.

I went with Fubo too. So far I’m liking it better than YouTube TV. Only issue is they don’t have Discovery Channel but we have other options for that channel.

Corporate greed has lessened my interest in the NFL. Hopefully College football can be broadcast in an affordable manner. Having to buy 68 different packages and not knowing which one will blackout is making me wish my name were IP Freely.

Sucks they don't have a bundle for Hulu, espn and fox all in one.

i just cancelled you tube tv.  same price for hulu live tv and you get the espn app and disney plus as well included.  i had the hulu/disney/espn bundle anyway.  so ended up saving some money by just upgrading the hulu package.  also, with american express platinum card, they pay up to $25/month for hulu/disney, so i can use the full credit now (was paying $20/month with previous disney bundle).  Anyway, i've rationalized it in my head--and i won't have to deal with this again for awhile hopefully.

Good for you. The only way these things stop happening is if they get hit in the pocket book by losing a ton of subscribers.
