As long as my internet signal is strong, it's awesome. Watching the Yankees so far with no buffering. Comcast down here does not have the ACC network available. I am now watching FSU basketball for free too. Dump DirectTV. Obviously your IP isn't AT&T. Their standard speed leaves you buffering forever.

Dumped DirecTV for YouTube TV (best move I've made in a while) - however I'm now shut out from having any way of RELIABLY getting Bills game (I'm out of town) since I can't get Sunday Ticket anymore. I've warned my wife I'll be at the bar most Sunday's now - but even that's not ideal (bunch of local fans cheering their team / no volume, etc.). NFL was stoopid to grant exclusivity to DirecTV in the first place. Of course they made a fortune, but they alienate millions of fans. I don’t think that NFL corporate has the fans needs anywhere on their to do list, outside of taking our money. It’s about the money the game produces, not the game itself. The NFL has a business Monopoly that no other corporation in the US has, and will do what is needed to keep it. Just go to google and ask, “ why did congress give the NFL a monopoly”, you will see a Democratic president okayed it, and hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars started flowing to support the fledgling league. The league is the result of socialist financing, in that wether or not you wanted to you and your families footed the bill to make millionaire owners billionaire owners. Imo the monopoly should be revoked as the league no longer is in need of the financial help it received when the monopoly was awarded, it is nothing more than corporate welfare at this point.

Get directv you have all of that in one nice package 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRHater69 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I use a streaming service Fubo because it gets MSG and then I run it with a VPN. If I want to watch a game or two in another market I just change the VPN to server in or near that market and Fubo switches to their local CBS and FOX channels. It worked well for me last year and at $55 a month was way cheaper than the full DirecTV package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking of doing the same thing this week, I hate DTV now that AT&T bought them. Would you recommend YouTube tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email can be a throwaway. I ditched DirectTV after 18 years and streamed the games this way last season. Zero problems.

Would you recommend YouTube tv? Been great for me. $50/mo and has every channel I care about, except hbo which I get separately for $15. So $65 all in. Super easy to use across all devices. DTV can suck it. It was actually awesome calling and canceling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
