So for us streaming cable cutters…..

Admit I am not streaming smart. Downloaded the YoutubeTV free service and admit it is a difficult site to navigate. I can find individual channels like ESPN. Is there a channel guide or anything like that? Maybe I am limited on use due to it just being the free download.
Hit the back button on the remote and you'll see LIBRARY - HOME - LIVE at the top. Select Live and it will give you a guide. You can login on a computer and rearrange the channels on the grid any way you like.

The best part of YouTube TV is you don't actually need a TV or be at home at all. I can watch the game live on my phone, laptop, or tablet or even log into my neighbors devices/tv or a hotel TV if im on the road. That alone makes it better than a cable or satellite package.
 
Thanks. Does this get SECN+ and ESPN+ or do I need an add on?
Ive never used SEC+ but ESPN+ just runs through the ESPN app and you need to be a subscriber of a cable/sattelite/streaming service that ESPN partners with which is most of them except now Charter because they are in a battle with Disney.
 
Is this weeks game only on ESPN+ or is it also on SECN +?

If it is SECN +. YTTV should get it and if it is ESPN+ only I will not have access. Can someone verify if the above is correct?
 
I use IPTV Smarters pro app - free and iptv.tv for the streams. 23000 channels 100 per year. Used Bitcoin on PayPal for a discount
 
SECN+ & ESPN+ access thru ESPN app
Thank you for your reply but if I have YTTV do I have access to SECN + on the ESPN app?. Is the game being shown on SECN+ and ESPN + on the ESPN app?

1. Is SECN+ part of YTTV?
2. Is ESPN+ part if YTTV?

Sorry for the confusion as I just signed up for YTTV.

No. You don't need to be on any particular cable/satellite/streaming services to get ESPN+. That's ESPN3. ESPN+ is a separate service that you pay for directly, just like Hulu or Disney+. It's not related to your provider in any way. I logged in from my work PC on Charter internet, with no TV provider yesterday. I can do the same with my Spectrum phone, and on my Roku at home.

Yes

SECN+ is not a channel but a digital platform that is available thru the ESPN app.
ESPN+ is also a digital platform accessible thru ESPN+/ESPN app. If you get SEC with service provider ie YTTV then you can Signin on the ESPN app to watch. You must have ESPN+ to watch ESPN+ events.

I have the HULU Live ESPN+ bundle which give me access to ESPN+ events in HULU. An app inside an app.

Lol what about ESPN the Ocho is that free? 🤣
 
i signed up for FUBO, it has all the sports, i used the free trial and then cancelled it. the picture quality is pretty good and they have a bunch of channels and more sports channels. I am not sure which streaming service i'll sign up for prior to this weekend. my family doesn't watch near enough tv to get our moneys worth. I've used sling, youtube tv, but not HULU. I can't waste money on Disney.
I have HULU Live and I get all the games
 
Another vote for Apollo TV. We get every game and I suppose they say 21,000 channels. 1000 of those are they relay local broadcast channels. $119 a year. 10 streams at your home plus 3 not in your home.

it doesn't seem to me that anything else quite measures up to this exactly. We don't try to turn it off after football season. I'm not sure if that's a good option.

You don't have to steal. You also don't have to be ripped off by American media companies for the same content.
Ripped off? Its a choice to have cable television.

Our own viewing habits and demand for content as consumers feeds the frenzy. Cable companies are for profit businesses. What would you expect is a 'fair market price?'

Cable was always a luxury in our house. There were lots of times I didnt even have it.

I did recently re-up my subscription to the public library. Hopefully they dont rip me off this time.

I got everything you are getting through one of the politically protected "trust" providers for a fraction of the costs. In fact, I'm getting a whole lot more for less. So yeah. It is your choice to overpay if you want to. Have at it.

Fair market price? Again, I pay a lot less. You and I are both still subject to the same commercials, ads, et al. We're both still paying the programs and networks. I'm just a lot closer to paying at the level we had when it was by antenna and transmitted through open airways.

Here is why it is a rip off. The companies and networks go to Congress and get laws passed that prevent open competition. Then without respect for the consumer or consumer choice they negotiate between themselves what they're going to charge. They have used Congress to create a "trust" between these businesses in an effort to keep small, efficient competitors out. But some of those competitors are still serving customers.
 
I have an antenna for networks. I refuse to use Disney/Hulu/ESPN (woke) or YouTube (censors of speech).

I've used Sling the past several years but I'm thinking that was to get to ESPN. Plus, Sling pricing jumped this year. I'll research Sling but may not be an option.

If I can't find a streaming option, I guess I'll either find myself in a sports bar or list likely listening to Bob (which I'm totally fine with).
 
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 have youtubeTV and can't think of a Vols game I've missed on this platform. There might have been 1 or 2 cupcake games that were on the ESPN app or something.
 
Has anybody ever seen anything on SECN+ that wasn’t also available on ESPN+? I don’t think I have.
I've never seen any that weren't either. The ESPN app is clunky though. I wish these kind of games were just selectable within the YouTubeTV app since I already pay for their service that includes ESPN. Not a knock against YYTV, more against Disney/ESPN making things complicated for the sake of additional revenue.

I wonder sometimes if the app just runs better on some devices. I never have issues with ESPN on Roku other than slow loads occasionally, but it can be like a visit to the dentist on a Firestick.
