Picked up 2-tuner ota hdhomerun from Amazon and it integrates nicely with my plex server to dvr ABC. Holding onto yttv for the rest.

My Sling 1 Day Pass last Saturday had ABC on ESPN3

There is a search box on their website to confirm which local channels you get. Mine are Fox and NBC which doesn't really solve my college football dilemma

Fubo is not cheap, and I know its owned by Disney. But damn. Its college football people. Worry about this in February.

Our game showed as available on espn 3 as abc isn't included in my area either. Someone with sling may be more helpful, but I'm wondering if all sports broadcast on abc are available as espn 3 content

I need mommy and daddy to kiss and make up. If I have to cancel yttv and lose the approximate 2,748 hours of Hallmark movies on my DVR I'm never going to hear the end of it.

Just signed up for Fubo free trial to get through this weekend. If it goes to next weekend I will cancel YTTV


I did Fubo last weekend and got games I wanted to watch but no way would I cancel YTTV for it. The lack of TNT which has 2 CFP games and March Madness makes it a no go for me.

In that case I will get YTTV for the CFP games, but TNT is not worth the price for tge long term.

It technically doesn't but you can supposedly use your Sling creds to log directly into the ESPN app and see the ABC games there because ESPN/ABC are typically simulcast there. In other words, ESPN may not have the ability to get so granular as to only show ESPN but not ABC games based on your creds since it's the same company.

We will find out in less than 24 hours because someone will confirm this tomorrow and report back as I'm sure there will dozens of us that use Sling Day Pass tomorrow.

I've got fubo free till tomorrow night at 7. Then I'm canceling them. If this lasts through next weekend I'm going to have to cancel YTTV even though I'm fully on their side here.

And I will not subscribe yet to another streaming solution. I'll go to to the next 2 games in person then then go to a bar for tu if a deal hasn't been made by then.

**** ESPN here. Generally happy with their overall presentation of SEC football after the switch and everything else they show but I'm not going to Huli, fubu or whatever the **** until it's certain the YTTV compromise won't happen.

I watch NHL which is partially on TNT. That along with regular season college football and basketball, CFP and March Madness so worth it to me.

Another alternative to watch the game on ABC:

Go to your local ABC affiliate's website. For me, it's KVUE in Austin (www.kvue.com). They have a live telecast. So one could feasibly mirror the game telecast from your phone to your tv. Easy peasey.

I'm doing the free trial with Fubo and I'm blown away by how bad the picture quality is. I have a very fast internet connection and the settings within the system are at 1080/720.

Why do you doubt this? Sounds like it ought to work.

I just went to the ABC 13 website and can watch a live stream in Houston.

Don't know why that wouldn't work tomorrow also?

It will not work. You will be able to view news/weather on your local affiliate.

That's his 2nd attempt to pimp Spectrum on this thread. He must work for them or something.

Said it before so I'll say it again - spectrum is literally the reason I cut the cord and went to YTTV streaming for my sports viewing.

I just looked on Sling and they are showing the Mizzou game listed on ESPN3 available on the one day pass.

I did the 5 day free trial last week with DirectTV and it was super easy. This week I'm traveling and will have access to cable. If it's not fixed by next week, I'll move to DTV even though it's more expensive.

So far do not love Fubo but will get me through the weekend.

If / when I cancel will likely go back to DTV with their streaming service. When I switched to YTTV I had DTV, but with the satellite on roof.

Hulu and Fubo are both Disney properties. Unlikely you will deal with the carriage issue there…

We just home from dinner. I logged onto kvue in Austin and mirrored/streamed the live Liberty Hill vs. Bastrop football game. Now, they (kvue) bill their live telecast as "KVUE+" (emphasis on the '+'). So I'm not sure if that differs from the 'non-+'/normal telecast. Remains to be seen.

Trust me. They will not be showing the A&M/Mizzou game tomorrow on the local affiliate website.

So if I go get an antenna and tune into my local affiliate, they will show something other than the game?!

I don't believe it.

Why should I trust someone I don't even know?

I don't believe it.

"website" seems to be the key word here. The game should be available on the OTA broadcast picked up by your conventional antenna. If it's not for some damn reason then you're probably going to be reading about me in the news...

The game will 100% be available for free with an antenna.

Go to your local FOX affiliate website and try to watch the Northwestern/USC game without using a login credential.
