Time to do streaming.
I do YouTube TV.

AT&T is majority owner of DTV. Their carriage rights must still tied together even though DTV operates independently now.

Trying to get my old man to switch. But he’s almost 80.

Y’all should be thankful you don’t have to watch that programming.

May find Fubo easier to use, it’s a bit more expensive but imo has a more intuitive UI if you’re looking for something more like cable/satellite

Yep; lost it on Sept 1st. All the Disney owned channels r gone. AT&T spun off DirecTV to its own platform, but they have a majority vested stake in it. So the entire AT&T subsidiaries lost Disney for now. It’s frustrating af

Went through this last year with Spectrum. At & t will cave… too many customers will start to bail and they’ll accept Disney’s deal

I will stick with youtube it is relatively cheap and has all the channels I need. F*** NBC and their Peacock BS. I will just miss NFL games before I pay for one channel on the side.

What does that mean? I'll be 78 in December and I switched to Youtube TV + Sunday Ticket package for this season. 80 is the new 60!!

Fast forward and rewind are clunky with YouTubeTv.

I just left comcast for directv a couple of months ago and am stuck in a 2 yr contract. Went to watch the USC vs. LSU game and thought it was a one off. Then no FSU game, missed all those tears.

Bottom line, am I fucced or can I get these channels free elsewhere?

The multi stream comes in clutch though for football season

I did 3-week free trial on YouTube TV & hope it gets resolved before trial up

Also, go to TVPromise.com to get $20 credit from DirecTV

The problem is that it might take 6 to 8 weeks for that to happen.

if ya missing games go to sport surge. Save ya some money. Idk if it was just week 1 but ESPN+ let me watch every game. Usually it’s only select ones.

Not free, but you can opt to stream ESPN+ for 10.99 a month. When Att/Disney settle you can then cancel your subscription.
I still have U-Verse (ATT retiree, so I get a big discount) and that is going to be my plan.
