youtubetv torture

I watched on crackedstreams.

No lag/buffering the entire game and high definition.

Blows my mind that people pay these mega corporations to watch football.

I hate computers and tech so if I can figure it out, everyone else can too.

YouTube tv is the superior product to all streaming platforms. By a wide margin. But if you’re willing to do it cable is still the best option for watching live sports. It’s utterly useless for all other programming but streaming platforms are very delayed and if you’re in a group chat or something similar with other canes fans you will be ****ed that you’re nearly 2 plays behind others…. Always.

If you’re a die hard canes baseball and basketball fan you will continue to be disappointed by YouTube tv’s relationship with acc network.

I don’t know if I am reading your post incorrectly but if you can get spectrum in the central Florida area I highly recommend getting them if you’re a die hard cane fan wanting to watch the 3 major sports. I never have issues watching games across any of the 3 different sports with my spectrum login.

Spectrum was exponentially increasing pricing. I resolved to fire them when they had the spat with Disney and cancelled a Canes gamecast. It took a while before I could replace with Starlink. Although I returned the equipment before the billing cycle they billed anyway. I appreciate your reply. Thanks.

Hulu tv comes with espn+. Then you can watch anything on fox, ABC, etc.

Nothings got 100% coverage unfortunately. That's where youtube and illegal links come in for me. I cancel hulu after season.

Thanks, I use two PC's and two laptops all with different operating systems. I have found streams in the past but find it increasingly hard to find them. Will checkout crackedstreams.

In July I asked for recommendations for best ways to watch all UM games. Youtubetv appeared to be the most recommended choice so I subscribed. My son was in town for the gators game and we watched it on youtubetv. Yesterday I invited company for the Rattlers game and it appears to have been blocked?

So far I've found YTTV's interface to be un-intuitive but in time I expect it to become familiar. But, the reason I subscribed was to see ALL UM and ACC games.

After last year's Spectrum/Disney last minute blocking the game fiasco I installed Starlink. It places me in the Orlando/Daytona Beach/Melbourne location and appears to be blocking UM home games. I'm over 200 miles away from the UM and over 123 from UF.

Before I cancel YTTV can anyone offer any suggestions?

This was user error as last weeks games was streaming live only, not live tv (ESPN+ / ACCNX) meaning you have to tie your yttv login to either of those streaming options and either mirror from phone to tv or directly by accessing through your smart tv.

I acknowledge that yesterday must have been very frustrating and disappointing but it was certainly not due to application error or lack of features.

Maybe that was the problem. If YTTV customer service responds to my inquiry I may not have to cancel and go elsewhere.

Not maybe, that was it.

It was on ACCNX which is a streaming channel that requires ESPN+ account or use your cable/streaming log in on the ESPN app.

I signed up for YouTube TV free trial for nothing but at least get to see how it works.

I did see the ACCNX option didn't know ESPN+ was the way. If YTTV was more intuitive my skill level would have been less a factor? I did attempt to cast so I could at least watch highlights (using Chromium browser--NOT Chrome) but the browser feature was no longer available).

Youtubetv. It was not available so am thinking it was blocked because it was a home game? It could have been a different issue.

Here, just read this for the future.

I’ll put this here and hopefully people find it because it’s been asked a million times here and on 247 lol

If you have YouTube TV, or probably any TV provider with ACC Network, you do not need to pay for ESPN+ for this game.

The game is NOT on tv. Go to the espn website or app, and login with your tv provider.

You will have to watch the game on the espn app or website, but once you’re logged in with your tv provider you should be able to watch it.

How did you try to watch it where it was blocked?

Does youtube tv block home games when one lives 200+miles away and have the ACCN, ESPN, etc packages? If that's the case I need to find a different service. I live closer to Gainsville and the Gators game was shown. As others have said it must be a ACCX issue and my lack of knowledge on how to access it?

Thanks to all who offered suggestions.
 
I live just north of Daytona Beach. I resubscribed to Sling TV with the Sports Pack which has ACC Extra. Watched the game with no issues (slight delay from actual game time). I was worried that we would have something go wrong as games have been listed before, and only later to be blocked. I believe my monthly cost is $70. I cancel after the bowl season.
