Without the ticket on Direct TV, think I might be hosed, as streaming is hit or miss at my place. This used to be my problem, because I live in the woods.. but the power companies in Mississippi are digging and putting in fiber optic everywhere. So I got mine hooked up a few months ago and I’m so happy, 75$ 1G no matter how much internet I use it doesn’t slow down like that satellite I had. I was biting my nails they would get that internet to me before Sunday ticket went to streaming lol.. but I am happy I’m not paying DTV 175$ a month anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with it but I’ve been having a lot of issues with the voice sync (I have a sound bar) after using the fast forward function. Dunno if it’s my Firestick (which is only one generation old) or the app itself. I see a lot of mixed responses on Reddit regarding what the problem is. Some say it’s the firestick, some say it’s the app. Some say the sound bar. I just can’t recall it happening to me while using a different app. anyone have similar problems or know an easy fix? I usually just restart my firestick while powering the tv off. Big pain in the This happens maybe every 2 months or so with my Roku in the bedroom, also with soundbar… not just with YTTV, but other apps. I just turn the power strip off that feeds them for about 30 seconds, then everything’s OK again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost is starting to rival traditional cable TV packages, but streaming services have fewer fees, don’t require clunky hardware and are easier to cancel." this is why I laugh at cord cutters who think they are going to save money and get a deal. thr cost of cable TV or streaming online totprrey TV channels sre going to eventual cost the same. It becomes a matter of promotional deals and switching. even in streaming, just like cable you don’t really have choices. You have to take blocks of stations, even if you only want one channel. on cable, other than old school national network stations, I might regularly watch content on 10 non sports stations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be dead in a few years. People are actually saving money now…. I’ve been using my brother in laws Hulu, Espn, Disney account for years. Yes, that will probably change in the future, but by that time have already saved close to $1000 dollars. But I shouldn’t take advantage of these loopholes while they exist…,because it’ll change in a few years? 🤣 people are laughing at you for this thought process. 2 minutes ago, Don Otreply said: I don’t pay for YouTube, it’s free, YouTube with no adds is amazing and has changed my life for the better 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you mean like cable already does their cable boxes and each additional one you need? With the base plan, YouTube TV give you 3 concurrent streams. That would cost you like $30 bucks extra on cable with paying for boxes. Espn+ and Disney+ aren't free for cable subscribers either, so I don't know why you're trying to make it sound like those fees apply to only cord cutters. And I would love to for you to provide a cable service that's currently cheaper than YouTube TV and has a comparable number of channels. Not to mention, like there's an extra $20 bucks tacked onto your cable bill in taxes and fees that aren't even metioned in what they tell you cable package costs. If your package is $100 bucks, what you're really paying is close to $120 to $125 with all the fees. 10 minutes ago, NewEra said: YouTube with no adds is amazing and has changed my life for the better Not to mention you get YouTube music included with that.

The funniest part is that he wants to act like the cable companies aren't also raising their rates all the time too, so even if YouTube TV does periodically, the cable companies are still going to be more expensive regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres431 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 The thing holding me back from switching is MSG. Youtube TV doesn't have MSG, and MSG's new streaming service is priced to keep you with cable TV providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
