  1. @Dbeasy the DirecTV app, which I assume is the same as the one the DirecTV streaming uses, is fantastic and we get access to it as satellite users. Download it and uses your account login credentials and you’re golden. On a 4K Apple TV it’s fast and very responsive, on the cheapo RokuTV I have it lags but whatever. On my iPhone and iPad it has a great interface and use it when I’m out and about and want to watch a game and it pulls the local affiliates of where you’re traveling to.
  2. I’m getting Sunday Ticket with no YouTube TV. I go to the YouTube app and the games pop up there along with the rest of the shit that’s available on regular YouTube. Second option when you scroll in the link below: https://tv.youtube.com/learn/nflsundayticket/?utm_source=web&utm_medium=helpcenter&utm_campaign=nflst_presale_apr23_helpcenter_2
  3. I am not paying for YTTV, I misspoke. I just get the Sunday Ticket standalone package with Red Zone for $489 that is available from YouTube. This is not directed at you but others - it’s not like I am oblivious to the other options out there. As @Dbeasy said a few posts up - there are significant gaps for sports fans and for my wife for options like Fubo and Fubo can go fuck themselves with the bullshit they pulled this year with the Euros by having games exclusively shown on their bullshit channel instead of available on Fox. YTTV doesn’t have SCHN — Astros and Rockets games make up about 40% of my total TV viewing. As everyone’s seen with NFL playoff games exclusively on Peacock and now regular season games on Netflix and Prime — the move to streaming from the traditional cable/satellite bundle has been horrible for sports fans. I get Max from my DirecTV package, the ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+ package free from my Verizon unlimited plan same with Apple+, pay for Prime since we do a lot of Amazon purchases, Paramount+ comes free now since we get Showtime from our DirecTV package. The only one I refuse to pay for and use my mother’s Xfinity login to get is Peacock. DirecTV satellite unquestionably has the best picture quality of any live TV provider with the least amount of compression and offer the most 4K offerings and will provide every 4K telecast that Fox or ABC/ESPN produces for college football. The people who have stuck with DirecTV for the most of have are big time sports fans, home theatre aficionados, power users, sports bars and other commercial users. For them to thumb their noses at us is suicide. Think if you were a bar owner last night and the shit they had to deal with from their customers wanting to watch the LSU game. BTW, in my anger last night, I miscounted the number of TVs I have. I actually have 9 with 8 of them using DirecTV satellite and a small RokuTV in the kitchen 3 in the living room, 1 each in the master bedroom and the 2 guest bedrooms, my office, wife’s office and the RokuTV in the kitchen. Living room and master have the top of the line LG CX series 4K OLEDs, office TVs are LG 4Ks but cheaper models
  4. You don’t have control over the exact feeds you want on multiview or how it’s set up on your screen. I have Sunday Ticket with YouTube no YouTubeTV. You don’t get any multiview options with any feeds shown on your local affiliates which sucks. Didn’t have that issue with DirecTV and their 4 game or 8 game multiview. I have 3 TVs in my living room and I want to have full screen action on 2 and the 3rd will do Red Zone or a multiview.
  5. I have already tried and it’s no use. I waited an hour to yell at some dude in an Indian call center and didn’t get shit.
  6. I had to pay a commercial installer myself to do my setup and get the dish, boxes, DVR and other equipment from Solid Signal because the chucklefucks at AT&T who ran DirecTV into the ground had no idea how to pull off what I wanted
  7. 3 in the living room set up for sports and a TV in each of the remaining 4 rooms.
  8. My wife knows and is comfortable with our setup. The amount of hassle I have to put up from with pulling a switch to another provider like YoutubeTV in which we’d not have the same number of premium channels we currently have is not worth it. TV is our primary form of entertainment DirecTV satellite has the best picture quality on the market. DirecTV forgot who their biggest customers are - power users with elite home theater setups and commercial users. Don’t fuck with us.
  9. YouTube TV doesn’t have SCHN for Astros or Rockets.
  10. I have 7 TVs with 4K boxes on every TV. DirecTV was the go to provider for power users with multiple TVs in room setups like me
  11. That’s a no for me dawg and for anyone with a DirecTV log in credential. I had to fucking use my brother’s YouTube TV credentials.
  12. I pay $340 a month to fucking DirecTV because they’re supposed to be the best for sports. They first lose Sunday Ticket last year and now this shit and the beginning of football season. Unacceptable.
  13. Was just watching US Open and getting ready for LSU-USC and get a screen showing this
  14. I fucking love Emma Navarro. Bad ass on the court and very easy on the eyes. Love her rocking old school Fila gear.
  15. Donovan Smith sucked at Tech and still sucks at Cougar High.
  16. Sorry aggy, your stupid fan fiction about there being division in the locker room and Sark falling off the wagon is not true. This team and our coaches are locked in and dominating. Love seeing it.
  17. I hope Nebraska turns it around with Rhule. I think college football is better with them being a relevant program again.
  18. NGL, the part of that fan fiction that scares me a bit, even though there is not a shred of evidence to suggest it’s true, is the thought of Sark falling off the wagon, especially if he is going through a divorce. I hope to God that’s not true for his sake. He is an inspiration and a success story for those of us battling addiction.
  19. Another joke of a defensive effort
  20. At least Kris Boyd made the team. Was worried after he got hurt on Saturday.
  21. I’m going to see Caitlin Clark again tonight. Hopefully, her teammates pass her the ball, unlike they did the last time I saw her. Pass Caitlin the ball.
  22. He isn’t worth half his salary
