ACC Network Thread

[bevosu]

I will fly the YouTubeTv banner proudly. If you like sports and hate being tied to traditional cable companies it is the best thing out there. The only thing it doesn't have is the NFL Network. I'm not a huge NFL person, so I can live with the games just on the major networks. It has Big Ten Network, MLB Network, YES, SNY,
4 ESPN channels, Olympic sports channels, CBSSports, TBS. Just awesome.

Without Lifetime and Hallmark some husbands would be walking on thin ice.

I know when she is watching a Lifetime or Hallmark movie in the other room. There is virtually no dialogue but lots of very emotive background music.

H.G.T.V. My wife would divorce me if I got rid of it.

Yeah. That's why we doubled up with YoutubeTV and Sling (can't remember if it's blue or orange - whatever one with the Hallmark channels) Still less than what we were paying and everyone is happy.

Just as a FYI, Hulu had about 2 million subscribers in March and YouTube TV had just passed 1 million subscribers. Playstation Vue was just behind with about 800K.

Sling had about 2.4 million subscribers at the same time frame.

The cord cutter options are a significant piece of the pie and their market share is surely only going to grow.

Just as a FYI, Hulu had about to 26 million subscribers in March and YouTube TV had just passed 1 million subscribers. Playstation Vue was just behind with about 800K.

Sling had about 2.4 million subscribers at the same time frame.

Sling/DISH are losing customers daily (including me) over their lost affiliation with the Fox Regional Sports Networks (can't watch my Reds games)

I bet these numbers change even more if they don't resolve their Fox regional sports issues

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this question, but what streaming option would be best for an upstate person looking for MSG (Buffalo Sabres games)?

Looks like Playstation Vue, Hulu, YouTube TV and Sling are all options for you.

Yeah, now that ACCN is on YouTubeTV the last thing I'm looking for is NBA league pass

 

[Vorony]

Bumping my question from a couple days ago - anyone have info on DirecTV NOW? Do I assume that if AT&T U-Verse signs, then DTV NOW would be part of that deal?

With Lori Laughlin about to go to jail who will marry Santa Claus on Hallmark?

There would need to be a series about Lori Loughlin in jail. I don't know that Hallmark are the folks to do it.

Does Verizon Fios carry the ACC Network?

Yes

Ummm... more like 70+ Channels including locals, and all the ones you’d want for news and sports. It’s a replacement for cable not an add on. Geez.

YouTube TV - Watch & DVR Live Sports, Shows & News

Stream live TV from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN & popular cable networks in English and Spanish. Record without DVR storage space limits. Try it free. Cancel anytime.

No. There are 5 channels that I’m willing to pay for. There are 65 channels that take up click space between the 5 that I care about.

So again, they’re asking me to pay $50/mo for 5 channels, and that ain’t gunna happen.

 

[nzm136]

To the adults out there: They are offering a free two week trial.

NZM fortunately has his Mom's sign-in.

I wish!

(I’m *just* mature enough to not make a joke about using your mom’s sign-in.)

 

[nzm136]

5 channels? There are way more than 5. Its way cheaper than spectrum and Fios. Not sure what you have.

I had sling, but they tried to raise the price, so I walked. I can think of better things to do w/ the money.

But yeah, unless I missed something, I saw 5 channels worth watching, and if I’m being honest, the numbers is probably closer to 4. I’ll actively pay to not have the BTN, so including the collective nets one of the channels out.

You're looking at this weird.

NHL Network, Center ice package?

How do you figure? Why would I care about all the channels that I don’t care about?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

...

Do you even TV, bro?

 

[TheCusian]

If you can get those 5 for cheaper, do that

 

[SyracuseMiami]

...

He probably is paying double with cable and still only getting 5 channels he cares about

It depends how much cheaper they are.
