Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Luckily Fox Sports Detroit went forward under their extension that ended on Oct 1. Ironically, I went with YouTube TV because of the sports options. Will have to see how this shakes out but will look into Hulu as a potential alternate choice. Thanks for the info!snellman said:
Picked one up last week, it's definitely a great little device for $50 (and since it's Google it will be on sale for Black Friday). Only "issue" is the AI suggestions are off target for now, but they seem to be changing quickly now that it sees what I'm clicking on.
Can you imagine being a Cowboys fan and paying Directv to put a dish on your roof just so you can watch football and then they go 1-3 before Dak breaks his leg? No way I'm ever paying to watch football.
They'll be better w/o Dak.
How satisfied are you overall with Hulu TV+ vs. YTTV? I looked up a comparison of the two and a big turnoff for me with Hulu TV+ is the fact you can’t FF through commercials on your DVR without paying an additional $10/mo. That’s a no-go for me and drops the monthly savings over YTTV to only $10/mo, which isn’t enough to get me to switch.
So far so good. I’m only a couple of days in and haven’t watched anything on DVR. If it’s too annoying I’ll add the feature. $10 is still $10 and I like having these things consolidated.
), and Prime for whatever that costs (& which I'd have anyway). $80/mo for internet.
Just to come back to this, I just found they actually have a package with the unlimited cloud for $67.99, so overall it comes out to $15/mo less than YTTV with Disney/ESPN.
Other than the max screens/users, sure. It's fantastic.Otis said:
Just checked on an Apple TV and I also have a ton of CBS local channels and it looks like a few other channels are duplicated (notice A&E for example at the top of my guide was duplicated, showing different shows, so likely an East coast and a West coast feed)
Thanks - glad it's not just me then. And it's like a 25 minute wait to get chat support. I've been on the fence about cutting Hulu but this will be the final straw (assuming it's not resolved in the next couple days).
Or you look at it as them giving you 500 free additional channels - now if only it included HBO and the other pay channels
They're not free channels though. They're all just different CBS local channels. And if you click on any of them, it says "not available in your market" or something like that. So it takes me 10 minutes to scroll through all of those CBS channels to advance in the guide! No thank you.

Hulu Live just sent out an email that they no longer have the rights to Regional Sports (like Fox Sports Midwest), which carries the Royals and our local Sporting KC MLS team. Effective tomorrow.
Bummer.
Does a digital antenna work for the local games? We pickup up 1 and we get 36 stations. <$50ChiefD said:Well, crap. Back to the drawing board.

It will work on anything broadcast on the major networks - ABC, FOX, CBS, NBC. As long as their signal is strong enough to reach your house. The antenna usually tells you what your mile radius is, so as long as the local affiliate is within that radius you should get those channels.
I wouldn't think so unless the component you are using has some kind of obstruction that degrades signal.
Just curious. We are getting ready to lose dish as it is horrible. Is it mandatory that the had antenna be near a window? Our tv is not by one. Thanks for any assistance.
Maybe, but probably not. I live in a 2nd floor apartment where all windows face away from the location of the "big city" broadcast and genrally things work well for me. The local CBS channel can be a problem, but I've had varying levels of success toggling between an antenna with power (juiced) and powered off (passive). Bear in mind that neighboring flats represent a crap-ton of drywall between me and the broadcasting stations and I sit about 10 feet below an intervening ridge. And, my antenna is a 29.99 Best Buy special.
No, it doesn’t. I spent less than $50 on mine and it works fine. As long as you are within the suburbs of a decent sized city you should pick up all the local channels.
Thanks. I think we will do as you say and just get them from Amazon and send them back if they don’t work.
We are kind of in the sticks but about an hour or so from Charlotte. Worst that happens is it doesn’t work and we return it I guess. Thanks Chief.
This is highly dependent on the quality of signal you are purchasing and what router/modem hardware you are using. Without knowing more specifics I would say yes it will affect it, but not too much unless you are a extreme power user. One thing with gaming is wifi connections can lead to more issues(not always the case) with NAT settings if your into online multiplayer.
So the answer for us is that it does make the connection more stable. Doesn't do anything for speed, but we have high speed and tons of bandwidth, so making the last jump hard-wired instead of over the air/WIFI was worth it for us. Kid still finds things to yell about while gaming, but lags/latency spikes aren't the cause. Progress?
Sounds like a good decision all around. As for the gaming, lag will always be the thing to kill you. Not the decision the pilot made...
"channels"
I don't think you're reading my post correctly. I don't subscribe to anything, my cable/tv bill is zero.
me too. I'm going to tell ATT to eff off and go no cable.
