And traded up to do so

Maybe 6 weeks in with YoutubeTV after 20 years with DIRECTV. Much easier transition than I expected. A few things I miss, dislike, or haven’t figured out: Miss channel numbers for easy flipping Miss MLB network I’m now in a weird MLB blackout situation that I didn’t have before. Makes no sense...

I’ll assume that everyone in the league knew this before it was reported. Player just had another team trade for him, he wasn’t released.

Not quite the same, but many years ago on a youthful night out I grabbed someone else’s receipt out of the pile at the club ATM. Wow was that a sobering moment the next day when I saw the amount of the huge withdrawal. I don’t think the account balance was printed, so it wasn’t obvious that the...

Didn’t realize all these companies were in the process of being purchased. I’m sure the buyer loved the timing of this cheating episode.

If you’ve ever visited their website, or attempted to use their app, you won’t be surprised that they also had small-time checks and balances for their controls. Big time company in 2024 still running their business like fantasy is in its infancy of the 90s. My experience with their best ball...

Really good football player. Remains to be seen if that translates to a player with consistent, strong fantasy stats.

Tips to get audio and video to sync up better when streaming?

Agreed. A company needs to figure this out soon. I don’t even mind the slight buffer going from channel to channel, nor needing to subscribe to a few different services. Having to bounce between Prime and my primary service took forever, and led me to rarely watch the Thursday games.

What's been your experience when going to 100% streaming for TV watching? Has it been a real drain on your home internet bandwidth? I didn't even consider the need for it to always "be on" in order to record any shows scheduled.

I already have Hulu/Disney/espn via Verizon. What I’m seeing on the Hulu site is a live tv option for $75, or to go up a buck to $76 for it to include h/d/e. Weird that they only give you savings of $1 if you don’t want or need the apps.

Good to hear! I’m not worried about the cost of extra apps as I already subscribe or have free access to the ones I use. Those costs are kinda fixed for me.

As for price, I’ve been loyal to DTV and still like their product. But my bill is going to get near $200 once a 40/mo credit expires. Any streaming service under $100 will save me a ton.

Flip a coin or ask your dog/child to pick. Guessing you’ll have similar success.

Getting ready to make the streaming plunge. Been with DTV for 20 years. A few questions: Is there a live streaming service that integrates best with Roku devices? I’m a channel flipper. Which streaming service is best for this? Is there a way to cleanly blend other apps (Disney+, AppleTV...
