I tried a local antenna in a window adjacent to the TV. It received interference so I picked up a full sized interior HDTV antenna at Best Buy for $35 -$40 range. I have it in my garage at the highest point run through a cable connection to the TV. We receive perfect reception with no delay. I have mentioned previously that I purchased a Tablo device which allows recording and playback of any programs including games that we wish to record from the antenna. I have no plan to go back to YouTube TV which we joined when it was originally offered.GE Flat Panel Indoor HD Digital TV Antenna, Long Range Smart TV Antenna, Supports 4K 1080P HD Smart TV VHF UHF, Extendable Dipole Rabbit Ears, Adjustable Stand, 5ft Coax HDTV Cable, 33681
I've had this one on hand for a while just in case my internet goes out for non weather related issues.
I've also used it a few times i just didn't feel like setting up my PC to my TV to stream (apps don't run smooth on my smart TV).
Last year and this year every single Bama game except for one has been on ABC and that antenna picks it up no problems.
The only minor issue for me is it's only 720p but it still looks pretty good.
You can get it at Wal-Mart for about $19.99 usually.

DirectTV did it last year in the middle of college football season! I had that then.
Disney has to ultimately monetize ESPN and make Disney Plus an attractive package which it has now become with ESPN assets added. Disney has long been grappling with this and has little interest in enriching Google on their on dime. Google will be forced to pay up in order to get the package back. I would expect that a lot will depend on enrollment of the new Disney + ESPN package.
The timing screams greed and leverage...
What idiot opened/signed /agreed to the possibility of this happening in the middle of the most viewed time of the year...?
Whoever reviewed/recommended/approved that contract needs to be immediately fired!
You can’t win. They will do this with every single service, just a matter of time. Then your bill will increase, and on and on and on. I think last year or the year before ESPN and YTTV had a dispute like 2days before the playoff games, which got resolved before the games started.
Won't be long before it's "Death, Taxes, and Disney leveraging sports coverage to jack up profits..."Don't you just love it when two media behemoths' battles injure the little people like us that they're supposedly trying to serve?
YouTubeTV drops Disney’s ESPN, ABC: ‘We have not been able to reach a fair deal’
More than 20 channels will be removed.www.al.com
This will, obviously, get resolved sooner rather than later. But at least, for now, you're going to have to watch ESPN & ABC some other way.
I'm about to do the same. Two years ago, YouTube TV was the "go to" because of all the carriage disputes with all other services. I should have known that YouTube TV would have its day in court too one day. Sigh....
Yes you can. Cancel them. Don’t look back. If enough people do it, they will change. Regardless, you win because you are no longer way overpaying for a substandard product.
Remember when "cutting the cord" was the thing? I wonder if this was what the ones who coined that term had in mind
Well, the caveat being not watching the games.
I’m giving Sling a chance again, but when Disney eventually comes knocking on their door, I’m done.
