The game is on ESPN+ and not ESPN?

It's on ESPN...I believe the issue is the streaming provider, not the specific channel itself.

 

[MKEagle]

Does ESPN+ now allow you to watch regular ESPN programming? When I had it a couple years ago it was only ABC and ESPN+ shows. Couldn’t watch the ESPN cable channel programming.

This is a valid point.... ESPN released its premium service (something like $29.99 a month) that includes regular programming

I just signed up for the free trial of fubo. I'll cancel on Sunday.

 

[NDPhilly]

Giving them until noon Saturday to figure it out. Disney really has their balls in a vice negotiating this mid football season and in the only couple week period when all 4 major sports are on.

Guess I'll add ESPN to my package and drop it after.

istreameast.app is another streaming option.

 

[Rudy89]

This has worked the last five games…

 

[greyhammer90]

Disney overpaying for all the sports rights and now passing their investment costs onto the consumer.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

What is the new ESPN DTC service? Plans, costs, key facts

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I just signed up for ESPN DTC. I’m going to cancel YouTube TV. First they lose MLB & now ESPN. I’ll get an antenna for local NBC/ABC/FOX/CBS so I‘ll have all the ND football games covered.

All of these sources are going to force people back to cable.

When you add up what we pay for YouTube tv and all the damn streaming services we have, we’re definitely paying more now than I did when we just had cable and Netflix. Just gave more things to scroll through to find nothing to watch.

The benefit i use is the pause subscription option on YouTube tv. That means I'm not paying for it for 5/6 months outta the year. Only use it for football/ college bball season.

That is one big advantage of the streamers over cable. I have Fubo and typically just pause it from the end of college football season to whenever baseball gets interesting in the spring/summer (I use Fubo, not YouTube, b/c they carry my regional sports cable provider and YouTube doesn't). No re-start fees or wonky equipment rental shit, you can just turn it off and not pay for it, then turn it back on again when you want.

85 bucks a month for fubo is still a ridiculous price

 

[IRISHFAN76]

I just signed up for the free trial of fubo. I'll cancel on Sunday.

How long is the trial. Im looking to do the same but mine says 1 day trial.

 

[pumpdog20]

No. I have a bootlegged fire stick. Any channel, movie, TV series sports channel etc. $100 for 6 months.

It's not legal but it's cheap and awesome.

YouTube TV is the biggest scam out there. You're probably only watching 3 of the 80 channels anyway. 🤣

VSeeBox, pay one time

 

[dublinirish]

i have a firestick too, pay 80 dollars a year for some lads in the Middle East to supply me with basically every tv channel across the globe. It's quite nice to be able to watch Irish or UK tv when theres something on i want to watch thats not on any american channels

 

[dublinirish]

 

[pumpdog20]

ESPN/Fox Sports Bundle (ABC/FOX/ESPN): $40
Peacock (NBC): $11
Paramount Plus (CBS): $5 (military)/$10

Get your football fix for $56/$61 month vs $83

Get your netflix & apple tv free from TMobile

Prime you're paying for the free shipping anyways

 

[irishnd31]

ESPN Unlimited for $29.99 per month.

 

[stlnd01]

Sure, but if you want to watch live sports broadly (which in my house with two sportsy kids includes any/all college football, my local MLB, NBA and occasionally NHL teams, and some international soccer) that's what it's going to cost. I'm currently on a deal with my credit card getting a $25/month rebate, which is nice.

If it wasn't for live sports I'd just get HBO Max and read more books. But also if it wasn't for live sports I probably wouldn't frequent this website.

Tried just adding ESPN to my XFinity plan. They want to change your package. Tried to tell me it's great because I will get all these additional channels and it will only cost $41 more a month. lol

I just signed up for ESPN Unlimited directly with ESPN. You can cancel anytime which I'll do. I stopped watching ESPN years ago and somehow have survived.

My thoughts exactly pal! Go Irish!

 

[laughingirish92]

well since i already have the espn app on my smart tv i'll then just add espn+ to it and pay for that until Disney and youtube stop fighting over money

 

[Dale]

I’ve been in Hulu Live + HBO for awhile. Until YouTube TV added the multi view I never understood why folks preferred it over Hulu Live. No Disney disputes if you just pay Disney lol.

lmfao. Yup. I think I have over 4,000 movie, TV, TV show, sports, and ppv channels alone.

Not that I will ever watch the 78 golf channels but hey they are there if I need it.....along with the porn. 🤣

 

[JamIrish]

Hype

 

[laughingirish92]

and youtube tv just raised everybody's monthly cost already within the past year
