How to Stream Bama Games (no cable or satellite)

[AUDub]

They can’t do this crap during bowl season.

Yeah they can. In fact that's exactly why they're doing it now. This is when they have the most leverage.

Remember, you switching to Hulu is in Disney's best interest here. I understand if you do switch but Disney did that at a time when it's most inconvenient for the customer because they're tightening the screws on YouTube.

The article mentioned "Google". Is that another streaming service or is that in connection with Hulu?

Google owns YouTube

I just meant I’m not going to wait for them to add the channels back. College football is not optional in my house.

Ahhhh, well I might wait a day or two to see if anything changes before I end my YouTube subscription then.

I have HULU up and running now as I wait for the Boca Raton Bowl to start.

Early thoughts...

WHY is there not a 4K/1080p/720p/480p selection option?

You have to either pick 'Best Available' or 'Data Saver'.

I only have 1,000GB of DL/Streaming space monthly and like to set my Sports to 720p to not burn through my Data Limits.

'Best Available' could be 1080p or Higher?

'Data Saver' could be 480p?

I mean WTH???

Also I can at least make one of those two adjustments on my PC

I CANNOT select Picture Quality through the PS4 App which means I can't watch on there and comment on my PC for TideFans at the same time.

*SIGH*

YouTube TV has all the channels needed for Bama games. Most other streaming services leave off one or two necessary channels. Usually the SEC Network (cupcake games). I'm still with Comcast (20 years), and like it. So far. But if Comcast ups my cost much more, I'll likely switch to YouTube TV.

Youtube TV 3 Month Promotion

If you wait until Kickoff Weekend on Sept 4th to sign up you will get to watch the entire regular season through Conference Championship weekend at that discounted rate and would then only have to pay the $64.99 rate for Bowl Season and the Playoffs.

I think this is what I'm going to do this Season since I've had good experiences with Youtube TV for College Football in the past.

Same here and I'm pretty ticked off this morning. Thankfully my Subscription ends on the 25th so that's only a week really that I'm being burned on.

But what do I do for today now and the rest of Bowl season?

I looked around and Hulu Live TV seems to be the only other option in the same price range that has the ESPN and ABC channels.

Can anyone with Hulu Live confirm that they still have the CFB channels today?

my subscription hit today, so i get to pay for a month that i won't use

Dang man that really sucks.

Not that it will offset that but the 1st week of Hulu Live is Free.

EDIT: Also saw that FuboTV has a 2 week Free Trial and also has the ESPN/ABC channels.

So you could use those 2 and at least get through Bowl and Playoff Season

 

[Bamafan P.T.]

Anyone have experience with Fubo or Directv stream? I’ve got to figure this out but don’t really want to cave into Disney and jump on Hulu just yet.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I like Hulu, but the day they start dropping espn will be the day I quit Hulu. I have a feeling that eventually we will all have to get the Disney streaming service to watch anything. I hate Disney.

Not without ESPN. That means no playoffs.

I just looked at the schedule and all 3 Playoff games are on ESPN.

I could have sworn that they were on ABC in previous years.

I guess that will be the day I stop paying for the service. I love Bama football but there is only so much corporate nonsense I can take. I’ve gone without being able to watch games live multiple times in the past, I can do so again if forced to.

Wow! YouTube TV just dropped ESPN and all other Disney owned channels this morning at 12:00 am. Bummer.

YouTubeTV removed all my recordings from abc and ESPN from my “DVR”. Nice.

They no longer have the license required, so it makes sense. It sucks, but it makes sense.

Isn't the SEC Network part of the ESPN conglomerate?

Yes, it’s gone from YTTV as well
