    Well, the "negotiation" between multi-billion dollar companies has come to a head and YouTube TV blinked first. Now YTTV has lost ESPN/ABC, (which includes SEC network) until they can work out some kind of deal with Disney. To do it week 10 of college FB was calculated and greedy by Disney and the moneygrubbing mouse.

    The main reason I have YTTV is for college FB and now I've got to find another way to watch the Vols hosting Oklahoma tomorrow night. Disney is hoping YTTV subs will be pissed and drop them in favor of Hulu or fubo or stream ESPN which are all owned by Disney. Or YTTV will have to agree to Disney's price increases which means our price will likely increase 10-20 bucks. Either way, this isn't going to get worked out before the game Saturday.

    For those of you with YTTV, what options are you looking at to watch FB? Paying Disney to stream ESPN/SEC pisses me off but may be what I'll have to do because watching a stream on a small laptop screen sucks.

    That game is on local TV here on ABC.
    I have tried telling people that said streaming was the way to go because it's cheaper to just give it time, and it won't be

    15 years ago I didn't have to stream, every single Steelers game, Razorbacks game, and anything I wanted to watch came on one place, Direct TV, and it was worthit for me to not have to look here, and there, just push a button, and there it was. Now it doesn't matter what You have , if you want to watch every game, You must have different streaming services, and that's not even counting different shows, and movies you want to see. One will have this, one will have that, and different will have that.
