They only allow you to use Live from one location. My son switched it last year while at college and I had to change it back. It’s kind of annoying if you have a situation like that. I almost switched to YouTube, who doesn’t have that, but then they hiked up their price. A device can use it in a different location as long as it comes home every 30 days.

Not traditional. Shows you what is on now and in the next few hours. There are no channel numbers so you just scroll down to ABC or whatever. But you can also organize the channels to whatever order you like. I like that.

Thing is I have not moved and have only ever used our house as our "Home" location. This is the second time this year after 2 years of no issues where it is saying that my IP address and my "Home" do not match.
When I go online to set my home from the Hulu site, it picks up my current zip code, which my home was always set to, but says I need to use one of my "moves" to reset it. A bit frustrating - I just don't want to reset my home, even though it shows my current zip as home, if it is going to assign a random zip again as it did last time.

I'm debating just going without TV. I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and cut off everything else earlier this summer. I'd like to have locals and sports but I'm done paying for all kinds of crap I don't want. The only things I'm watching are sports and the wife likes the cooking shows. Literally everything else is a waste.

Been researching this myself since I probably won't be going to the bar to watch. Here's what I've come up with, other than give in and get Direct TV which isn't going to happen:
1) Get a college student to buy me the streaming version of Sunday Ticket.
2) Set up a VPN and subscribe to the international version of Gamepass.
3) Try and find streams each week.
4) Buy a Sunday Ticket subscription on ebay and hope for the best.

I did this last season. It was a PITA bc I was casting from a tablet initially and had to have a VPN installed on it as well as what I was casting on (NVIDIA Shield) otherwise it was blocked. Registration also sucks.
#2 and #3 have worked for me.
Honestly #2 paying $130 or so knowing you will get every game you want plus red zone isn’t that bad an option.
#3 nflbite dot com provided solid free streams all year last year. They were the guys that did nfl streams on Reddit before it got banned.

Try going to youtubetv on your phone or laptop. In the right hand corner there is icon for your account. Click on that then go to settings to live tv then check all channels you want to see. That might solve it. It is wierd though.

So much this. I literally need like 5 channels for sports and I'm good. And it's gotten to the point where I'll just do without. Youtube TV was a good option at $50. With the price hike, I'm right back to where I used to be.

Yep, I was on YouTube TV until they raised the price. I was looking at Philo last night a bit. $20 for like 50 channels and the list is pretty good, but unfortunately no locals and no sports so it's really not solving my biggest problem.

Youtubetv, HBO and Netflix can all be split if you have a friend who’s shows you don’t mind seeing in your saved list etc. Can get all 3 for a split cost of like $45.

Each family member on YTTV gets their own saved list and DVR. Family members do not have to live in the same house. Total device limitation (3) still applies though. But you caln also use your YTTV login for some other apps like ESPN to watch games and this is not subject to the 3 device limit.

Honestly with PS Vue gone, YTTV is almost the only option for sports heavy coverage. I don't think Hulu or Sling offer nearly as much, do they?

If you're just looking sports Fubo is probably your best bet. I think Sling offers comparable coverage if you add enough packages, but that gets expensive really quickly.

Hulu Live is pretty darn good. I get pretty much everything sports related and haven't felt like I've missed out on anything.
ESPN adds some stuff to their app that they don't broadcast on regular ESPN, and for me it was a few KU basketball games. I just subscribed to that for $5 a month for a couple of months until the season was over.
gianmarco
Footballguy
Except Fubo lost the following:
CNN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, HLN, TruTV, TCM, and CNN International
Not having TBS or TNT isn't helpful for some sports.

I don't either but UEFA soccer has been on those channels and I believe they still have rights to some of those matches. It's not a killer, but those are a couple major channels that are dropped.

I guess really just depends what you need. I've went with Sling for NBA playoffs. (Believe they have NFL Redzone offering as well). More than enough for what I'm looking for
With limited/no college sports, there's a whole lot of sports channels with absolutely no content right now.
I absolutely despise the layout of YoutubeTV and doubt I'll ever go back to it. And I'm a heavy user of the regular Youtube App.

I believe these moved to CBS sports when B/R & Turner canceled the contract. If you aren't a basketball or a fan of atl teams, you might not need it.

Looks like it was announced the end of August, but just catching up to the fact that Verizon extended the offer of free Disney+ beyond the initial one-year period (and added Hulu and ESPN+ too). At least that's what I think they are saying with their very confusing wording on everything I have read.
Sling Orange has everything you need for the NBA playoffs - ESPN, TBS, TNT. I picked it up for $30 for this month.

Yes sir, I have it. But I am a Bucs fan in Austin, TX and its Cowboys or Texans constantly. When we dumped DTV earlier this year I didnt even notice that Hulu didnt carry NFL network. Might have to resub to them just to get the ticket.

How does that work? i.e. are you able to select any live game to watch? Is it just your in-market games plus a few? Is it like Game Pass where you can watch any game, but not live (and often a day+ after it happens)?
Had Game Pass and liked it but really thought not seeing any live games outside those aired in your area was not worth the $100 price tag.
On another note -- with a 133 page thread, is there a cheat sheet/consensus about the best current one or two paths to cut cable?

I think it is. Says Prime starts week 5 on the web site I looked at. Never realized that and don’t know if that’s a change from last year.

Big news IMO for those that have cut the cable and have Roku.
Roku and Comcast reach agreement to carry Peacock on Roku
Lots of free, ad supported content. Looking forward for to it, now just need to get the HBO Max app on Roku

NFL Network is included in the base package, so no extra cost for that. NFL RedZone is included in their SportsPlus add-on package for an extra $10.99/month. It includes all of these channels:
NFL RedZone
FOX College Sports
GOLTV
FOX Soccer Plus
MAVTV Motorsports Network
TVG / TVG2
Stadium

I attempted NFLbite to stream the Steelers game and while it worked, it made me a little nervous about infecting my Mac. Not sure I’m going to try that again.
Work the pop ups just like you do for a Reddit stream. There is zero to worry about, although not a Mac guy.

So YouTube TV has removed the Regional Fox Sports networks over a negotiation dispute. Hope they get that fixed quickly.

That has been going on for quite a while. I canceled my subscription with YouTube TV back in March and switched to Hulu live when they originally dropped the Fox Sports Networks. They brought them back but in limited markets (I am in Iowa so I could not get Fox Sports North to watch the Twins). I was and am disappointed because I liked their interface. I think Hulu and FuboTV are the only major streamers that currently have the Fox Sports channels.
