I assumed it did. FFS, it should be live! Disney owns everything.

But ESPN gets massive revenues from cable distribution deals. The draw is live sports programming. If ESPN were to offer live games via their stand alone OTT app, cable/streaming companies wouldn’t pay as much for their programming.

Can anyone confirm by experience that ESPN’s stand alone or bundled OTT app includes their live sports programming?

I was under the impression that the ESPN package bundled with Disney+ didn’t include live games streaming. Is this so, or does the ESPN OTT include live games?

It does for games listed as ESPN+ broadcast. Generally for games on ESPN, ESPN2, SECN, and ESPNU, you require a cable provider to stream those from the ESPN app. That’s the problem mal experienced.

ABC broadcast is available to stream for ESPN+ subscribers because it’s available as a national broadcast (you can get it with rabbit ears).

Kevin Costner Says Scrapped ‘Horizon 2’ Theatrical Release Was ‘Probably a Reaction’ to First Film’s Box Office Performance: ‘It Didn’t Have Overwhelming Success’

Kevin Costner spoke on the scrapped theatrical release of his second “Horizon” film on Saturday during its Venice Film Festival press conference, saying that “it probably was a reaction” to the underperformance of the first movie at the box office. “It didn’t have overwhelming success,” Costner...

I cut cable like 6 years ago for YouTubeTv and never looked back or had any issues. You also have unlimited DVR space. I set all of my favorite teams in my library and it automatically records every game. I do use Roku though as my streaming device so there's a bit of a learning curve with the interface

As a Certified Tech Guy©, do you know if there is an understandable reason why Roku remotes don't have number keys to just punch in a channel? It's not like they haven't been around for years, and there are plenty of others wanting this. This drives me screaming bananas. Just write some code already, guys.

Roku brags that the simplicity of using its devices and remote is an advantage. Number keys are so last millennium. 🙄

Punching 7+3+5 into a remote is simpe. Arrow arrow arrow arrow arrow arrow arrrow whoops too far back back back up up up isn't simplicity, and they know it. They're either cheap asshats (oops, following the mandatory maximization of ROI to investors), or there's some legal constraint, like back in the day when Apple Music somehow restricted Apple Computer from supplying optimal speakers.

No idea but with YouTubeTV channels are not numbered so it's irrelevant

So how do you quickly navigate among channels? Can you save 8-10 favorites that all display on one screen, and click the one you want? This would be pretty nice to have.

It takes getting used to for sure. There is a home default station that shows highlighted channels you typically watch for easier selection

So, forgive me, as I am slow (@malinoisvol), but do you no longer have any interface with a standard cable TV provider? YTTV isn't an in-between?

We have Spectrum, and the whole 700-800 cable lineup is pretty painful. I'd really like to have just one screen that contains 99% of what we would ever watch (which isn't much.)

I guess what I'd really like is to have the cafeteria-style option, but that will never happen. We sort of have it with Charter Spectrum's streaming option, but when we tried it, it was awful for live sports.

I don't get the joke. Are you blaming President Biden for YTTV pricing? Take your PF hat off.

It occurs to me that the White House has been split pretty evenly since Regan. I don’t think either party should be pointing fingers about inflation.
Clearly they all suck at it.


I know…….
Moving on
