This makes so much more sense for sports viewers. The only reason I haven’t cut the cord is because I like to be able to switch back and forth quickly between games. With the numerous individual streaming options this was impossible.
You can flip back and forth pretty easily if you get League Pass on YouTube TV. Plus, they now offer a service with a split screen where you can watch 2-4 games at once and easily move to the one you want to hear sound on. Click on a game and you can just watch that game. Click back to go back to the 4 games. It’s pretty awesome actually.
Cable was bad. We got a glimpse of something wonderful and then corporate greed took over and now streaming is just as bad as cable.
For the low low cost of $150/month! Doesn't YouTubeTV already have ESPN, Fox, and TNT? What about regional networks like Root and the BigTen Network?
I cut the cord and never miss anything I want to watch. I hope this service is good and adds some regional stuff as well. If so, I'll pay for it.
I doubt this streaming service will preclude these companies from keeping their live broadcasts on cable, YouTube TV, DirecTV, HuluLive, etc. Maybe they will eventually leave TV providers but I don't see it happening immediately. It will just give some of you an option you've been asking for which is sports only. It will probably also push teams to have a streaming only option for customers without a traditional TV provider. Just looks like more options to me and these companies evolving with the times.
Curious if you watch everything LIVE. My wife and I watch NOTHING LIVE. Use the hell out of our DirecTV DVR.
I watch anything I want live. Or I stream the replay whenever I want. Subscribe to the OnlyFAMS link in my profile to find out how.
Yeah the wife and I never watch anything live. Wondering what the DVR situation is with all these streaming services. Not being able to record everything would be a deal breaker for me.
Incredibly important. YouTubeTV's DVR situation is very good and you'd have to think any new competitor would need to be as good or better in that department to compete.
