BREAKING YouTube.TV drops Disney/ESPN/ABC & an alternate

[The Ols]

I personally refuse to buy the ESPN app. I’m not hating on those who do. I fear the conventional way of viewing college football is slowly gravitating to specialized apps or bundles (ie. more money for the Disneys of the world).

The apps are free if you have the cable channel…
Cable TV is the simple easy answer…bundled services in one place, right?…and if you have a smart TV you don’t need the equipment anymore.

I downloaded the ESPN app onto my Roku TV platform. ESPN allowed anybody to watch Gameday for free last Saturday morning.

I guess I'll do a free FUBO trial starting Thursday so I can watch the basketball game Thursday and get the football games on Saturday.

Planning to be at the Cupcake game the next weekend.

Hoping YTTV and the Mouse can strike a deal before the IB.

I have YTTV paused and tempted to jump on DirectTV stream. I have multiple TVs and would want to take advantage of the Disney+/Hulu that's bundled but it appears I'd need a device for every TV. Can anyone confirm?

You either need a device OR the DirecTV app on a smart TV. I have it on one TV with AppleTV device, on another with a Roku device, and a third with just the DirecTV app on smart TV. Plus, my daughter uses my account in house with AppleTV and mother in law on Roku at her house. It works great, but I still like the YTTV layout and user interface better.

Just claimed my $20 credit...they made it difficult. Go to their webpage, click on Updates, Settings, and follow the prompts. Why not just have one click in the email or just credit every user? Because they don't want you to do this...disappointed to say the least.

I did it yesterday. I agree! Why not just give the credit???

On a web browser, the "update" tab is at the very bottom.

Took me 2 clicks.

but for those of us that had already paid for this month before the blackout, we don't get the credit. So I order to get the credit, I would have to sign up for another month of nothing. I hate Google and Disney.
