I highly doubt they don’t get a deal done before Saturday, if they don’t I’m glad I still have that antenna in the garage.

This BS happens every year. I remember when I had direct tv two seasons ago and had to miss the opening weekend on ESPN games and college gameday bc ESPN and Direct tv were in this same dispute. Didn’t think I’d have to deal with it when I switched to YouTube Tv

Looks like Fox One 7 day free trial is the way to go if the dispute is not resolved.

This always happens with YTTV negotiations and they always seem to work it out.

YouTubers usually always stream the games too, if needed.

Anybody got any suggestions on streaming apps that carry fox? I created a thread . Figured it would make it on the message boards sooner or later when the email went out

I am a big fan of YouTube TV.  But if needed, I will switch to Fubo on Saturday morning.  Fubo has FOX and 4K streaming (for games filmed in 4K).

A game of this magnitude it would be dumb on both parts not to reach an agreement hopefully it doesn’t happen.

According to them just download the Fox one app and it should be fine.

Second this if all else fails, 🏴‍☠️.

I'm expecting the Fox games to be available via the antenna, so I just purchased a $20 one off Amazon.  For the rest of the games, assuming an ESPN network, I caved in and got the Disney bundle special for $29.99/mo. for all ESPN unlimited.  I figured it was the cheapest route as I don't watch much anything else on any of the streaming networks to make the full cost worthwhile.

I did a 7-day (I think) free trial of DirecTV Stream. There wasn't anything really wrong with it. I just felt like the interface was easier to use on YTTV. DirecTV Stream had way more channels. People say the video quality is slightly better than YTTV. Its obviously more expensive, but will hold you over until the dispute is over. 

 

People see the DirecTV name and get spooked, but the streaming platform is honestly really good. It has regional sports and some other niche channels I used to watch when I still had cable. I would recommend it if you watch a decent amount of TV.

Unbelievable. They do this every season.

That dispute between ATT and ESPN was my final motivation to move to YTTV.

[UTexas]

I miss cable. I don’t miss what would’ve been a $200.00+ TV/internet bill. Of course, cable companies got into disputes like this as well.

[Tuco Ramirez]

Sounds like another YouTube tv price increase is coming our way.

Its nuts. I initially cut the cord to save money, then I switched from DirecTV Stream to YTTV to save money. YoutubeTV has turned stupid expensive.

Almost like they’ve trying to make all forms of live TV unaffordable for most.  Good thing I don’t watch much besides live sports.  I have found alternative methods to watch the few channels I actually care about.

[Itsamystery]

I just signed up for Nufu. $80 for six months with a lot of sports channels. A few other (Discovery, History, Weather, Fox News and Business, CNN etc) as well. They have no DVD and only broadcast in 1080. I finally get what I want without 45 shopping channels.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

I hear some games are live broadcast in 4K now.

[Califashorn75]

I will get Fubo Friday if these folks can't get a deal done. 

[Eric]

Every game is on regular YouTube for free. Just type in Texas vs Ohio State live before the game. Any game fyi.

It's strictly a business decision for them, they do the cost analysis of how many they think will still subscribe and how many they think they'll lose and make their decision on what they think makes them the most money.  Basically looking for the sweet spot on price where they maximize revenue.
