Just to be clear I don’t steal directtv lol.

We've gone through this before.  I don't want any problems watching tv, I dvr everything, and I don't want any damn drops that I always read about with subscription services.

I pay $1,200 a year to watch through my satellite with 300 channels.  I make enough money, I'm not fucking around with splitting subscriptions with my aunt, getting vpn subscriptions, and all the other hoops that 'subscriber guy' has to jump through.

 

[Lou]

No hoops.

Ugh. I just bought YouTube TV. Though I also pay for MLB TV so I should be good.

Yeah, doesn't matter except for Mariners games, but ROOT isn't part of Fox, right?

I went from DirecTV to YTTV, the DVR is fine, in fact everything is great, you just don't get NFL network, and now local fox sports channels which doesn't matter for me since I have to watch via mlb.tv anyway.

With that said I told my wife when this report came out that if we still lived in So Cal we would be calling DirecTV to get them back cause 90% of my tv viewing is Angels/Ducks

100% true.

i'm also going to start competitive rock climbing and cataloguing every beetle in the northern hemisphere.

 

Is that after you catalogue every food in the universe that is bad for you, and take up sky diving?

Question for the techies. If I have an MLB TV subscription, I can't watch the Angels games until they're over. However, if I were to access MLB TV through my laptop and change my VPN location to say..the East Coast, would I be able to watch the Angels game live?

healthy foods

unhealthy foods

everything else

Rumor is that Comcast, whose contract is up in June, will be the next provider to pass.  Of the streaming services, Hulu is the only one that still carries but I don’t know when their contract is up.  So far, Dish, Sling, YouTube, and Fubu dropped.  

Sinclair massively overpaid to buy the Fox RSN’s from Disney and now they are trying to collect.  They’ve added no other teams, so there is no added value.   The only one that paid is Direct/ATT but they are losing subscribers at a large clip due to rate increases.  The only reason they caved is because of the lucrative restaurant/bar contracts they have.  

In a season where the taint of the Astros is still fresh the last thing MLB needs is to lose viewers.

I have heard rumors that direct tv will be dropping  these channels by the end of the calendar year. Looks like these channels are about to go out of business, because no one can view them.

[zenmaster]

I'd bitch and complain and say I'm switching but do any of the streaming services even have it still?

Same here (Just switched from Hulu to YTTV).   I haven't done the MLB.TV thing for years.    They carry the Angels regular season?

Yeah they're not, so I should get ROOT games when the Angels play the M's, which is blocked here on MLB TV.

How does that help you?  Isn’t Amazon Fire TV just a platform (like Apple TV)?  You still need to find a streaming service that carries FSW.

That used to work. I don't believe it does anymore, MLB implemented something to counter it.
