You guys recommending YouTube TV.
Do you have to pay extra to get ESPN in 4K/CBS?

They dropped the price down to $5 a month for 4k content for your first year. But like others have said. Very limited. I think NBC and ESPN are the only channels that have 4k games. Maybe FS1?

No such thing as a "digital" antenna. If there in good shape the same antennas from 1985 works just as good. (With new cable run)

If your close enough to the broadcast towers old rabbit ear antenna will still work as well.

Manufacturers around 2007-08 started adding "digital" to antenna boxes to take advantage of the switchover in 2009 when local stations went from analog to digital to sell more products making people think they needed a new antenna.

right, i meant powered antennas that can boost signals. get a good antenna, you can get a lot of channels.

I am sure the info has already been posted somewhere, but for us folks who got rid of most cable and switched to streaming; how do we make sure to get the maximum number of Vols games?
Last year, I caught almost all of them on YouTube but based on week 0 experimenting Saturday, it’s looks like those are getting shut down for copyright infringement much more quickly this year.
I tried the crazy Disney ESPN+ bundle once but never could get it to work.
What is the path to streaming enlightenment oh fellow Vol fans?

I was going to use Sling orange + the SEC network add-on + Paramount Plus for CBS games. Total cost about $57 / month.

Checking this thread for any better ideas.

They do have really good digital antennas, but they can only receive broadcast through the air. One can not stream with them and can not get channels like ESPN+ and SEC +.

Remember you have to get the $11.99 Paramount tier to get live cbs. It doesn't come on "essential" anymore.

I saw Direct TV and ABC still with no deal.
That's going to hurt a lot of restaurants and bars this weekend.

Didn't realize that, thanks. It seems like YouTubeTV might be the easiest somewhat reasonably priced option.

Sling + Paramount is still cheaper. Next year you won't need Paramount anymore. I generally cut Sling back after football. I will say that Sling has some "quirks". I get weird sound issues from time to time. I think YTTV is a better experience for that extra money. I've stuck with Sling for Pac12 network. Guess I'll have be doing that math again next year.

The money is close (around $60 for Sling, the SEC add-on, and Paramount) compared with $65 for the first 3 months and then $72 for YTTV. I've had decent success using Sling before, but it can get quirky.

Thinking about switching from DirectTV to YouTubeTV, will I still get the Braves if I switch?

The fans who can not make it to the games get screwed again. Greed continues to ra its ugly head.

I canceled FUBO because they didn't have the NCAA basketball tournament games on TBS, TNT

Pay 40 dollars ain’t October for sling and get baseball playoffs and then cancel then do the same in March for March madness. 80 bucks total and add to fubo and still save a ton of money.

What that also gets you is unlimited streams in your household / family group verses 3. The 3 streams is a deal breaker for me, I need a minimum of 4. Also with that is 2 out of household streams. So I may end up there. Fubo has unlimited streams - but DVR cloud is limited and my family records a lot of shows.

I'm using Disney's bundle w/Hulu Live this go around. Used YouTubeTV last year but had some issues with their streaming quality but not enough to make me want to switch mid-season.

We will see more SEC games on ABC and SECN+ this season. In the past ESPN has streamed the ABC games on ESPN3 at the same time. The Virginia is being shown on both but don't know if you get ESPN3 with just ESPN app or if you need ESPN+. Not many streaming deals out there unless you're new to the service.

I have Hulu live and dang it I seem to get everything!

I'm not sure why you all have issues with ESPN+. It was how I saw most of the baseball and basketball games this last season.
