Direct Tv

[Phil Rizzo]

Would anyone beside me get very physical in a confrontation with a DTV exec right now?

I can't get SEC network, ABC or ESPN. My BP isn't good.
And now ESPN+ won't stream

I've got your six Phil. They're seriously hacking me off and for the last time. I just started a trial subscription to youtube tv and will probably be pulling the plug on DTV by the end of the month.

Life is more relaxing when you only have an antenna and get 10 channels.

I don't have cable or satellite, but stream pretty much anything I want.

Satellite and cable are dead ends, these streaming services offering free streams with ads are killing them. I get 3 - 5 ads tops in a 2 hour stream, did watch a game and it was surprising it had 14 total ads, but the timer was less than 6 minutes of total ad time. Never even noticed it before that game a week or so back.

I know where it all ends.
They are modeling after Washington, DC.

Pay more, expect The same at best. Likely worse

 

[Darryle]

I was surprised by the amount of stuff available on Pluto, there's really not much new stuff I care to watch, local college ball and some news events, the rest I could care less about, but Festus and Doc arguing, I can get behind.

Renewed ESPN+ last week, for the month.
Not sure if that was August only or 30 actual days.

I'm sure the answer is pay more, bundle, change providers, or have a massive coronary

Hey @Darryle, can you get the Outdoor channel with a streaming service?

 

[Phil Rizzo]

If you enjoy commercials more than the actual "program" the outdoor channel awaits...

We ditched Direct TV, and now stream everything. I pay half as much and get twice as much content. And on the go.

 

[Phil Rizzo]

Of all places, I found it live on YouTube

^ Did the same. No reason to ever go back.

TV sucks these days. I don't understand how studios stay in business when I surf guides for 30 minutes then turn it off in disgust. I guess my standards are too high. Which is quite odd for a guy who says; "I set the bar low. Please don't trip over it."

After years of bouncing between cable and satellite providers we now have roku. Plenty of older shows on there which we would rather watch than anything new. We have a couple add ons like paramount + and peacock which costs extra but still cheaper than cable or satellite. You do need Wi-Fi since it's streaming.
There's a number of outdoor channels that you can add on along with live sporting events and motor sports but you have to pay extra.
