Issues with Youtube TV

[YJMD]

This is great thank you!

Sling orange does not have FOX RSNs. I signed up for it last week to see the Syracuse game, and canceled 30 minutes later and got HULU because no Fox RSNs.

Correct the only two streaming options that carry RSNs are Hulu Live TV & AT&T TV NOW

I got a trial of AT&t TV to watch the game last week and it seemed okay except it didn't allow me to pause or rewind live TV. That's one of the things I love most about YouTube TV. If I'm watching a game and I need to get up and go do something I can pause it and come back later and then just skip through commercials until I'm live again. Also if I happen to be late to the start of the game I can start it from the beginning. I don't know if that's a possibility with AT&t TV but with my trial subscription and streaming it through my phone and Roku it did not allow me to do that.

I had Hulu live for a while, that interface for pausing, rewinding/FF, having to watch the commercials even if you already had.... very glitchy, frustrating and I hated it.
YTTV is much, much better.
However.... the price has increased and if there are GT sports I can't watch, then I'll have to start looking elsewhere. If ATT TV doesn't allow you to pause live TV so I can sync up our radio/streaming broadcast, than that won't help me either.

I use Hulu Live via chromecast, and the only downside to those considering it is there's about a 10 second delay between you watching it and someone watching either live or through cable.

99% of the time it doesn't matter, but sometimes I'll get scoring alerts before I see it. And about 50% of the chat here on gtswarm will be ahead of you.

HuluTV is the way to go. I use my friends account. He only has it for football season. It has EVERY GAME. And you can record games as well. And there are always replays of all the games. I had YouTube TV for a week and hated it

I swore I’d never cut the cord but my Spectrum bill jumped up to $265/mo in August so I started doing research for options. I’m a soccer buff so I saw a bunch of ads for the FuboTV packages and was blown away. I made a spreadsheet of essential channels that I must have for my sports viewing needs: BeinSports, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNews, FS1, FS2, Big10 Network, Pac12 Networks, NFL, MLB, NBA, Golf, NFL Redzone, NBCSN, ACCNW, SECNW, CBSSN, etc. I’ve shared my login with someone in ATL as well as Madison, WI and they both converted immediately. It was launched as a soccer streaming platform originally but now they have it all. I’ve already compiled a kick *** dvr collection in just a month. I highly recommend Fubo, and I’ve saved a ton of cash. I went with the Family Plan at $64/mo and added the SportsPack for $10/mo. Adding any add-on qualifies you for 3 streams at once and 500hrs of DVR.

No pause of live tv? That's nuts.
I have briefly thought about AT&T TV since we're on YTTV. I've heard too many complaints about Hulu and with the added DVR cost, it would be as much or more than YTTV. Guess i can rule out AT&T as well; no live pause is a deal breaker.

Does anyone know if Tech games will still show up on ESPN3 after their broadcast on Fox regional? It's looking like I may just watch those after gametime.

If every Fox RSN game is like the Syracuse game, maybe I should have kept Sling.

After my 1st year of “promo” pricing my price was gonna go up $55 so I told them I was cancelling unless I continued to get the same rate. They gave it to me. I pay $94/mo for the best internet on the market and I get all the premium movie channels HBO CMax Showtime Starz and a souped up sports pack that includes my soccer channels. The cord cutters are losing money or not getting enough content, plain and simple. How much is your internet alone once you cut the cord? Tack that on with these other hulu, youtube, psVue, Netflix, etc packages and you’re getting killed.

I also pay for Netflix and Prime though. I still come out WAY ahead for what I get.

You cord cutters are getting screwed. You have to have internet, you can’t get around it. So just bundle correctly and it’s a better deal. I see lots of “cord cutters” thumping their chest but you’re getting completely screwed on channel options. I have Spectrum and have a kickass package (that’s what she said) and I pay barely over a hundred bucks. Sports pack (ESPN, espn2, nbc sports, EspnU, Fs1, fs2, all of the pac12 channels, all of the big10 channels, secN, ACCN, NFLN, MLbN, NHL, nba, additional soccer pass BeinSports, FoxSoccerPlus, etc, premium movie channels (HBO, Starz, Showtime, etc. All with amazing internet.
Cord cutters should just choose a better package or deal, that’s all.

ACCN is amazing, it’s all I’ve ever wanted.

The data on the mig is inaccurate. FuboTV has ACC Network. It’s also the only option that has all the conference networks Pac12, Big10, ACC, SEC.

 

[slugboy]

AT&T TV has about a one play lag, but if they’re also your internet it removes any data caps. It seems to have just about everything you’d want
More pricey that a lot of the other options, however

 

[Milwaukee]

I have not read the entire thread but will respond with what I know. I had YTTV until they raised the rates $15, Briefly tried FUBO but they were supposed to get ABC and the ESPN networks which proved partially false. I now have HULU + and like it pretty well. With all three l had breaks in streaming due to connection issues. I use ATT Uverse ISP and blame their router mostly. I disabled their router and bought a wifi 6 router which improved the availability by
about 75%. I also have a TV where my Roku is mounted directly on the HDMI port and it sags a bit once in a while causing a glitch.

Fubo currently they did add all of the ESPN channels. Are you referring to your local national ABC being missing? I believe Fubo offers 3 of the 4 national locals currently but you don’t need them, just switch the source over to your antenna.

Im not sure why you couldn't pause live TV. Maybe its new? I have it and I can pause live tv.

That’s great news for most Pac12 fball fans.

I think there are multiple reasons for dropping Fox regional networks. First, COVID is narrowing the TV sports market and Disney is simply owning that world right now. Second, cable cutting is making the carriers like Cox and Spectrum very wary of cost increases. Fox thinks those regional networks are worth more than just the ad dollars. So, there is a bit of a squeeze going on. Third, the job losses are forcing a lot of people to trim cost from their home budget. While cable TV is a lot better than a digital antenna, the antenna is a one time expense.

But, in general, your first takes are correct, but depending on where you live, your "leverage" may not be as great. It sounds like for a long time, you had enough leverage on Spectrum. I have been able to keep my "internet only" service with them at the same price now for 3 years (sob stories or cancellation threats), but I figure at some point, it will run out, and I will have to pay more. We get our electricity through an electrical cooperative - Joe Wheeler EMC - they are now adding high speed internet capability to many areas, so hopefully, in the next year or so, I will have a 2nd really good internet only option.

My problem with Spectrum wasn't the bundle package prices, but the fact that they kept raising their "broadcast surcharge" fees - basically, I have to pay an extra $15 just for local channels which is not shown in their "bundle prices". Also, you need at least 1 or 2 of their stupid boxes, and they are now charging $9 per month extra for those - also not in their stated prices. So, what should be $99 ends up being closer to $130. (and that is their lower tier channel package) And, honestly, I really don't watch 90% of the channels.

Still hoping someone will give a true "a la carte" menu one day.

 

[TechCubed]

We switched from Comcast to YTTV about six months ago and been very satisfied. Just the ability to watch live on your phone while traveling, waiting in line, etc. is a game changer. My solution to them dropping RSN is getting a buddy with Comcast to activate my Fox Sports Go app (on Sony TV), so not missing out on anything.

Anyone know if Peachtree channel comes in with antenna in the McDonough area?

SlingTV is nowhere near the quality of Fubo. I’m using the Sling trial for the TBS tourney games and the picture isn’t as good.
