Moderators Blake Munroe Posted September 2 Moderators Share Posted September 2 Walt Disney Co.-owned channels, including ESPN and ABC stations, were knocked off DirecTV platforms Sunday after talks to reach a new distribution deal collapsed. Sports fans will quickly feel the pinch. In addition to college football on ESPN and ABC, the new NFL season begins later this week. ESPN is set to start its season with a "Monday Night Football" game Sept. 9 between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets, in which Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to return after suffering an injury a year ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s out tomorrow I am canceling and going with YouTube, it’s just that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horns96 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) I have ATT U-Verse and all ESPN channels went black at 7pm CST. Freaking BS. They do this every other year. Pay the providers for the content you greedy mofos. I'm going to cancel all my ATT stuff this week. Edited September 2 by horns96 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBobbyFinstock Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 This happened last year too. I switched to spectrum. It’s been alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horns96 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) In previous years ATT warned for weeks in advance before their bullish*t. Today was the first day I saw anything on UVerse to indicate they were going to screw their subscribers. I only subscribe to Uverse for the access to regional MLB broadcasts (Astros). Anyone have suggestions other than "YouTube + FUBO"? Edited September 2 by horns96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you face the same issue I do with the Rangers, but I use Hulu Live and then just buy a Bally’s subscription through their (Ballys) tv app during baseball season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Horn Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 If you want to try YouTube YV (I’ve had for 4+ years and don’t miss Dish/DirecTV you can use my referral link and save a little the first month and I’ll put the referral toward Texas One Fund. https://tv.youtube.com/referral/r28fvkn8afh0lv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
