Might cut the cord

85SUAlum said:
I've seen all that Spectrum provides and it is tempting, but I'd really hate to lose the DVR capability the YTTV provides. I rarely watch anything live anymore as I can't stand commercials, so I record everything that we tend to watch on broadcast TV.
Also, Max, Paramount +, AMC +, Hulu, Disney +, ESPN +, Peacock that is included are all the lower tier ones with commercials, correct? Can you upgrade any of them to commercial free (I assume for a fee)?
And is Cloud DVR+ a DVR offering from Spectrum.
How much does the Spectrum + Cloud DVR+ subscription cost (after any first year discount offers)?
Expand...
Varies by service. Max and Paramount + are commercial free. And the cloud DVR is actually very good now. Would not have said that a year ago. And it used to limit you to 100 programs. Now unlimited.

Like I said, Spectrum deserves a lot of the criticism it receives. And l like would have stayed with YTTV if they didn’t drop live Yankee games, but the service enhancements have made Spectrum a viable option, at least for now.
 
What are you using for streaming with Spectrum?
My MIL has one of those Xumo boxes and it's terrible. I gave her my older Roku to use instead.

I use Rokus or the app on Samsung smart TVs.
 
Yeah, I have a Chromecast that I got for free (or significantly discounted) but I gave her my older Roku as she already had roku on another TV and is familiar with it. It's a nightmare giving her something new and different. She basically just needs to get to the Spectrum TV app as that's pretty much all she watches. She watches it like watching TV on a cable box.
 
Does the new ESPN service (~$30) include all of ESPN's affiliate channels like ACC Network and ACCNX? Just wondering if I can have only that to watch Syracuse, rather than YouTube TV? Obviously, if something would not be on an ESPN platform I'd be out of luck.

From what I have read, yes it does.

There will still be games not covered by the ESPN app. SU is likely to play on CW a couple times this season. They are playing ND on NBC in November.

So I would be sure you can get those stations as well, even if only using an antenna to get them.
 
It looks like this YouTube TV-ESPN dispute is going to cost me something. I need to find a way to get ESPN access for tonight's basketball game vs. Binghamton. It looks like Fubo offers a free trial?

Thread 'Blackout Looms of ESPN on YouTubeTV'

Deadline is 11:59pm on Oct 30th. Just in time to blackout our game with UNC on Halloween night. Disney has an incentive to not make a deal with the intention that YouTubeTV subscribers affected would switch to Hulu Live TV. Sounds like something that should be an antitrust problem if it isn't already.

Yes, but Friday I opted for the 1 day pass from Sling for $5. Worked great. And you can do it any time you need to.

DirecTV has a 5 day trial. Unfortunately, if YTTV doesn't get the issue resolved by Wednesday then I'll have paid for both services this month.

We'll likely place YTTV on pause. They are giving us 2 free weeks, but that won't fix the issue.
We prefer the YTTV user interface over DirecTV, so we'll end up there.

We hosted a big Florida-Georgia party on Saturday and I (for some reason 😢) wanted to watch the Syracuse game on Friday. DirecTV appeared to be our best option.

Today I'll have to log out of my ESPN app and try to log in with my DirecTV credentials.
 
I also have YTTV so the dispute sucks but I also have an espn select subscription so I'll watch the game tonight via their app.

I canceled YouTubeTV and added Disney+ for $29.95 a month

It's a band aid though. That will get you through the short term but it's no long term solution (at least for me). I absolutely hate the epsn app. The content is good; the media player blows. Watching a game on demand and trying to fast forward through the game is a pain. I watch a lot of games recorded so this really bothers me. Amazing how bad it is. Watching espn programming via YYTV is miles better. Now, if you watch most of your programming live, probably not as big of a deal.

That wouldn't go over well with my spouse. 🤣

She watches most Orange sports events with me, though she does read things on her phone.
I also watch, or sit along, for most of her shows... a laptop comes in handy
 
I caved.

I already had a Disney+, Hulu bundle, so I just upgraded it to include espn. Took me from $19/month to $38 I think.

Does this mean I can stop paying the $12 for espn+ that I've been paying for the last decade?

Yes you should be able to stop it
