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

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) bills this 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.

---

I'm backing you up. It won't work. I tried this last weekend and all I got was local news overriding the live broadcast.

Everyone is desperately looking for a backdoor here and there really aren't any that aren't simply login/logout glitches.

These companies aren't stupid. If someone were to find a loophole, they would shut it down as soon as it's discovered. Hell, they go after pirated streams with some success they aren't going to leave a known loophole open on official platforms.

So back in town from a work trip... Loking at options for greedy mouse programming vs YTTV... trying a free trial with FUBO.

FUBO App isn't supported on Pre2018 LG. My bedroom TV is a 2017. So as a full replacement for YTTV it'll require a Roku or other device plugged into an HDMI port.

Oh! AND they slap you with a few they don't publish so the after trial price is higher than the published price. ALSO the monthly included vs quarterly included channels show to be different so they really want to fear you into quarterly billing.

I remain amused that the centerpiece of the typical Aggie budget restraint initiative is talking himself or herself out of paying for our sports through paid viewership when they refuse to pay any other way…

OH IT GETS BETTER. I'm stuck at work today so I went ahead and made the Fubo switch which cost me an extra $30/month vs YTTV. I get done walking the job and sit down to watch some Gameday and catch up on paperwork. Fubo is telling me I have to unplug my desktop monitor from my laptop to be able to stream.

The only time I want to hear about rat poison on this board again is if its getting force-fed to Disney execs.

Guys, do the damn math.

Buy a $20 digital antenna and/or get a $5 Sling Day Pass.

Problem solved.

Thank you!

Trying the Day Pass. They are showing Ags on ESPN3 but it looks like you can't record anything on ESPN3 which includes Alabama LSU tonight

Just want to add that the cheap $20 indoor antennas on Amazon are garbage IMO and if you're in the suburbs they're unlikely to provide a reliable signal. An outdoor antenna costs a little more $40-$100 but you will get a reliable signal and a crisp picture.

Can confirm. I just set up my indoor digital antenna and I can only get NBC and that sporadically, so Sling Day Pass it is and antenna back to Amazon.

Interestingly, GameDay is not available this week so Disney has fully cut YTTV off for now.

I've DONE the math.
I used YTTV because there is still some programming on "traditional" cable channels that I enjoy watching. I do NOT have Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, etc. Yes, I cut the so-called cord when I ditched Uverse (and their associated table top cable box. YTTV gave me the traditional channels and programming that I wanted at a fraction of the cost and without the 200+ garbage filler channels of a traditional provider.

Nothing that you propose by "doing the math" works for me.
I'm glad that's a solution for you. It's not for me and plenty of others here.

You should be inside a free trial. If they're going to make it that complicated cut it off when the trial ends.

I get that. Makes sense. I was referring more to solving for game day for everyone trying to figure out free loopholes and hacks via streaming platforms.

For us, Sling Day Pass is a game changer because I've been looking for a way to get really a al carte because we literally watch nothing live or on traditional cable except for college football and to watch the Cowboys lose.

Of course, I fully expect Disney to ratchet up pressure on Sling as more people like me simply opt out of Hulu Live and just buy a Day Pass when needed.

I paused yttv and started a bundle with Hulu live, Disney and espn. If I hate Hulu live I'll cancel when yttv gets back to normal.

This doesn't work for people on YTTV. You have to have a sub through your TV provider to get ABC.

Quote:

---

You'll still need to sign in with your subscription details to access everything, though.

---

As much as we want there to be, there are no loopholes here unless you are going the illegal pirated route.

---

That's not true, at least not in my case. I have YTTV but was able to watch the ABC games last weekend via the ESPN app without signing in.

---

Guessing that was a glitch of some sort then. You lucked out!

---

No, he was just lucky to be still logged in. They kick you off periodically so you have to log back in. Then if you have to log back in and YTTV is your provider your screwed.

---

That's definitely NOT what happened...after Gameday ended I clicked on the Vandy game and the "Watch Live" option was there. Any non-ABC game just showed "Log in with Provider". Admittedly, when I switched back to the other televised games and came back to the ESPN app it would sometimes say "Log In", but I would just close and reopen and Watch Live would appear again.

Not sure if it was a glitch or not, but we'll find out Saturday.

---

Same thing this week, the ABC game is avaliable for me via the ESPN app. I bought the day pass anyway just for the other games, but there's no way I'm the only person who this is working for

Same - paused YTTV until January. Gonna give Hulu Live/Disney/ESPN package a fair shake.

Go to a sports and enjoy

Bought a Tablo 4th gen and hooked it up to the old OTA antenna on the roof that we never took down. I'm getting all the local channels plus a bunch of other stations. Looks great. Works great. Can then steam it to all my tvs via thier app.

My initial impression of Sling - channel switching is the fastest I've experienced on any platform. Almost immediate with no lag. So that's good.

Have the tech game using the espn app on right now, so can confirm. Im hoping that this means that the bama game will be on there later too, so I can watch that one after coming back from the Aggie watch party.

I switched to Hulu. My biggest complaint was no multiview. I learned I can get to multiview through ESPN app. Not as many choices as YTTV, but better than nothing. The interface is still way behind YTTV.

I'm here to eat some crow.

I can also access ESPN on the ESPN app. No idea why as I don't have a subscription, and I did not use my new Sling creds to log in. Just opened my ESPN app on AppleTV and went right to it. Maybe the created a back door for Disney+ subscribers that don't have the ESPN portion?

I can't even sign up for the fubo trial. I've tried all my emails and all my cards and keep getting error messages. **** em.

And spend multiple times the cost of a subscription.

I had fubo several years ago and switched to YTTV because i liked it better. Switching back they gave me a giant **** you on a free trial.

That's your choice?
I can go and not spend anywhere near a subscription.

Lags for me between channels so maybe this is a regional issue. Im using the Sling app through a Vizio TV. Im cool with it as long as the stream isnt lagging and it hasn't had an issue yet.

#metoo

Sling gives me play station tv nostalgia. Good alternative while YouTubeTV figures out how not to get bent over by Disney.

Went with the Sling day pass. Seemed liked the best option for me.

A few years ago I installed a medium size outdoor antenna in our house attic and routed cable to every bedroom and living room . I've used it as a backup for times like this. I get about 100 or so channels fairly clearly in the houston area, even the 70 or so I don't ever watch.

All this has done is confirmed that I'll never use an ESPN product. They're all awful compared to YTTV.

I think I've discovered the loop hole on my end. We have ATT Fiber for internet. When I open up the ESPN app, I get the AT&T U Verse icon in upper right of program for about 3 seconds before it goes away.

I have no ESPN sub and use YTTV as my live tv provider, but I can only assume that because I have ATT internet which is technically part of their U Verse product even though I don't pay for their U Verse cable product that I'm getting back doored into ESPN.

So, if you have AT&T for internet you might be in the clear.

i just setup fubo thru the roku app. it was painless and can use roku to cancel whenever free trial is over.

the small print for fubo said you have to cancel 24 hours before the free trial is over or they will charge you.
