Sure was expecting a reply to come back like yours. How many premium channels did you have thrown in there to be up at $170? Or did that $170 also include your internet?
Hulu + Live TV might be worth looking into for price comparison.
Yeah, Hula+LiveTV is one option that immediately came to mind. Their pricing was always similar to YouTubeTV though so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar increase from them.
At least in my zip code
My u verse was 260 with internet in Florida. Internet went up as was packaged but still much cheaper to split. The issue was not premiums but to even get sports like espn and the kids stuff had to have higher base packages with a lot of crap we never watched.
The ACCN is on YTTV. But to get *all* Pitt FB and BB games, you need ESPN+ as well.
The number of games on ESPN+ would probably be less than five. I would even say less than three.
One other nice capability with YouTubeTV is that you can very easily stop and restart service for any desired months. I’ve done that in the past for the summer months, will likely do that again in the future if I don’t go with another option altogether.
I’ve done the same thing with Sling. Canceling their extra sports package in the offseason saves a little bit of $.
Fubo has a sports package that i think is like $20 extra a month but you get nfl redzone espnu and many other sports channels.
Without or with very limited regulations - the prices are going to go through the roof.
You can take a three month break from yttv, which I take between hoops and football.
$90 plus whatever you are spending for streaming. At the end of the day, the cord-cutting savings will never have materialized.
We have. ESPN+ through a Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+ bundle. Cost is pretty reasonable for all three IIRC. As others have said, the cost of cord cutting has gotten to the point where it is no longer a big deal compared to cable. But I like YTTV for the unlimited recordings for a nine month "keep". At the end of the day, though, there's only so much TV you can watch
Yes, I've been doing that for the past 5 years or however long YTTV has been around.
That's not true - if I *just* had the ACCN and *not* ESPN+ - I couldn't watch last night's game - Live - nor the next one with SH as examples.
I don’t think what you are saying is accurate. If you go on to the espn app and want to “watch live” doesn’t it require you to enter your provider? So when you log into YTTV and have the ACC network you can watch the game even if you are not an espn+ subscriber.
So dumb question - if I do what you say then I can only watch it on my phone?
The default comes up as 3 months but you can pretty much shorten or extend that however you want.
I can access the espn app on my Roku tv. My LG Tv doesn’t have ESPN app (at least last time I looked.). So the smart TVs usually have a list of apps that come with TV.
Yeah so the TV that I watch almost all of my programs is an 18 y/o Pioneer - but I *do* have a Chromecast hooked on it and have been able to throw content from the ESPN ap - on occasion to it but it's not always reliable and I lose it on that TV.
If you get a fire stick you can stream the ESPN app on there. Easier and less clunky than a Chromecast.
