DWB Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Ditching Directv was one of the best things I've done in a while. We too, are streaming thru Firesticks. But I still don't like the available "bundles" of programming. (You Tube TV, Fubo, etc) One day (hopefully in the next year or 2), one of these channel streamers will grow a pair and offer the entire channel line-up ala carte. You pick what you want to watch and pay accordingly. Want a bundle? Here it is. Want to chose your own? Here it is. One of my friends has a digital outdoor antenna and he gets like 24 channels without paying anything. No BTN or Fox Sports, but he says he's fine with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Samsung TVs built since 2016 have Samsung TV+ free streaming service Over 220 channels...And some "On Demand" stuff... If I didn't want BTN, ESPN, and FS1-2 for IU basketball, that would be plenty for me...But, I pay for YouTubeTV ($65 a month) just for those channels...

I have Spectrum TV and internet. I called to complain about paying for channels that aren't currently available (ESPN, etc) and threatened to move to Youtube TV or Fubo. Spectrum lowered my monthly fee by $70 for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Used to have Fubo, but they jacked their price up 15%+ without any notice. Told them to go pound sand and switched to YT, which had recently added a bunch of Hallmark channels the wife wanted without additional subscription.

I have all of the sports packages. For instance on NFL, if i don’t want to go to the NFL ticket to watch the game, i just go to my teams hometown channel that’s covering the game, and watch that channel. I won’t go into all of the details, but i have thousands of channels and options. I’m Dodgers fan, and I’ve watched every Dodgers game for the last 6 years. I also had a guy put Kodi on two of my sticks, and the other two are just IPTV. IPTV gives you all of the major cities channels, plus almost everything any cable service has. He also added films plus and movies HD. And the guy(Programmer) is so available to all of his subscribers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a RVeal TV box with a VPN back in like 2014 or so... learning curve was steep, and my wife would have never figured out how to use it, so I ditched it...

IUFLA Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Anyone ever try Uzzu TV? Talked to a friend of mine this morning that has it... he paid the yearly subscription price of $129.99 and said he gets every MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL game with no blackouts... Read some reviews that were mixed, but thought I'd post it here in case anyone is interested.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a great sportscaster regardless and it make sense he would move on from ESPN since they don’t carry big ten games anymore. He wasn’t really a studio analyst so no real reason for him to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 ESPN is a joke: ESPN used fake names to secure Emmys for ‘College GameDay’ stars the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the organization that administers the Emmys, uncovered a scheme that the network used to acquire more than 30 of the coveted statuettes for on-air talent ineligible to receive them. Since at least 2010, ESPN inserted fake names in Emmy entries, then took the awards won by some of those imaginary individuals, had them re-engraved and gave them to on-air personalities. The nexus of the scheme was “College GameDay,” the show that Fitting helped turn into a cultural phenomenon and a revenue machine. From 2008-18, it nabbed eight Emmys for outstanding weekly studio show. But on-air talent was, until 2023, prohibited by NATAS guidelines from being included in a credit list in that category. ESPN circumvented the rule by inserting fake names into the credit list it submitted to NATAS for “College GameDay.” The Athletic reviewed the credit lists for the years the show won: 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In each one of those seven years, names similar to the names of on-air personalities – and with identical initials – were listed all under the title of “associate producers.” Kirk Henry (Kirk Herbstreit), Lee Clark (Lee Corso), Dirk Howard (Desmond Howard), and Tim Richard (Tom Rinaldi) appeared in all seven years. Steven Ponder (Sam Ponder) and Gene Wilson (Gene Wojciechowski) appeared in five from 2014-18. Chris Fulton (Chris Fowler) appeared in 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Shelley Saunders (Shelley Smith) appeared in the 2010 credit list. https://theathletic.com/5193316/2024/01/11/espn-emmys-fake-names-college-gameday/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
