YouTube TV Questions

Thanks, Packmeister.  Looks do-able and the wife will be happy to still have Bravo and three Hallmark channels.

Do you use this service?  Are you happy with it?

There seems to be quite a few members here who have it and enjoy it.

Check out this old thread:

I also have a question about the DVR function.  Can I set shows to record?  And once recorded, can I FF through the commercials?  From what I've read, this hasn't really been explained.  I've also read about people having buffering issues, but that's probably an overloaded internet thing.

I also hope all channels are in 1080p.  If not, I'll just get the Sunday Ticket package.

Have it and love it. DVR programs can be ff through commercials unless your getting the on demand version.  Those have commercials.  When you pick a recording it often has choose a version option. You'll want to choose DVR not on demand,  and you'll be OK. Quality is outstanding.  Nice thing about their recording options is the moment you add a show to record,  you get access to older episodes you may have missed out on, but those are on demand with commercials.  Still nice if you discovered a show late in a season.  We bought the full ride pretty much for around $120. NFL games are on the networks at no extra charge. Redzone is $10 extra. Bought Sunday Ticket, don't know how that works yet of course.

We use YouTube a lot on Roku.   The picture was outstanding.  The games I watched on Amazon Prime were fuzzy and out of focus much of the time.

6/6/23 is last day to get robbed $349 for Sunday ticket. Will rob you of $449 after that.

Former DirectTv user. Also used Hulu with Live TV.  Love, love , YouTube TV. Great interface, easy to learn and recording a cinch. Would only use with a smart tv…don’t know how it works with Roku.

Works the same.  I use both Roku and smart TV.

My internet isn't reliable enough to spend that kind of money on Sunday Ticket.  Looks like I'll be missing some games this season.

Dr Bob and ARod with only a few bars

But neither have hard of starlink?

No.

Are local markets in control of the games aired on YTTV? I constantly complain about living in western Wisconsin and not being able to watch the Packer games if the vikings are playing at the same time. Can YTTV guarantee that I can watch all the Packer games?

If the rules are the same as they were for Direct TV, you can only watch “out of (your) market” games.

Mine works great with a fire stick. I have it on 4 TV's.

I think YouTube TV has done a terrible job of promoting, informing and retaining DTV Sunday Ticket subscribers.  I have received no mail offers or email announcements.  Nor do I see any ad campaigns either.  I rarely watch NFLN.  Then last night, I see the reminder article in JSOnline about the $100 sale price expiring tomorrow.  It is as if they are trying to get people to panic purchase. 

Last year I needed the Ticket for only 2-3  games.  The Packers were on free TV for all the other games.  So, having the Ticket was not cost-effective last year as the year before as well.  Probably, I will revert back to finding a sports bar and watching them there like I did 22 years ago.

Though, it would not surprise me to see them run a $100 off sale right before the season begins. 

So happy I love my bar.

If you have a VPN, aren't all games "out of market"?

I'm sorry, but I do not... we're currently using Hulu...

YTTV. Can't beat it. Record whatever you want. Never delete anything (auto falls off 9 months later) there isn't even a delete option!

Love Packs explanation of DVR vs On demand is spot on.

I'm still not paying for Sunday Ticket. I have SiriusXM and a VPN - I'll be seeing every game easily.

NFL🖕🏼

Pretty sure you have to specify a home market and be in that area. We’re going to winter in Arizona, and I was told you need to sign in to your account from your home base at least once every 3 months.

Squatters moving in asap the week BK leaves town. It happens.

Hence the VPN.

I’m doing the two-week trial.  Most of what I’ve heard is positive, very few downsides.  The biggest thing that annoys me right off the bat is the inability to just punch in a channel.  I don’t want to peruse through 100 channels to see what’s on.

VPN doesn’t work for MLBTV. Gets hung up at the logon. YTTV maybe the same.

The search option is (of course) Google based - I assure you if you search for "NFL" or your favorite team "Packers" everything you need is right there at your fingertips.

You can also sort and customize the guide with your favorite channels at the top of the guide. You control everything.

It also gets to know what you like - 3 options across top of screen/guide (Library - Home - Live) it knows what you want to see. You'll understand better once you start using it.

When I first decided to cut the cord and go with something else I tried Youtube TV and Fubo.  Youtube for some reason early on had a bad picture and it buffered a lot on me.  So I went with Fubo which has been great but the only drawback is that you do not get all the channels that Youtube has. 

I am pretty sure I am going to make the jump and go back with Youtube now that I looked in to it more and with all of your suggestions.  I am still on the fence about Sunday ticket I am probably going to use a VPN and find a good stream before I pay the NFL prices.

I still want to know why it is you cannot buy a one game or just a teams games without having to pay the huge price.  But I guess its the NFL and they want to squeeze every penny out of you.

And now that Congress looks like is going to get involved with taxing sports leagues due to the PGA/LIV merger the NFL will only be charging more.

The first salvo came out of the office of California Rep. John Garamendi (D), a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee.

On Wednesday, the congressman introduced a bill called the “No Corporate Tax Exemption for Professional Sports Act” following what the he called the “Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund’s surprise takeover of the PGA Tour.”

The legislation would end the tax loophole that the PGA Tour and other professional sports leagues use to avoid paying any federal corporate income tax.

THEY SHOULD PAY THEIR DAMN SHARE.  Just sick billionaires pay less then the working Jane and Joe pay in federal taxes.   🤬 🤬 🤬  oh, and JMHO.

Congress pulls this shit every time something happens in sports they don’t like but they never follow up on it. Grandstanding!

Well, being the hated Saudis are involved this time, it may be different.

Fuck you, cut spending.  (Seriously, the debt ceiling folderol could have been avoided if the "emergency" covid spending didn't become the new federal budget baseline.  The ratchet only ever goes one way.)

Most of those fuckers are taking money n some way from the Saudis.

Attack the post, not the poster, pendejo.

Besides all the other bullshit, the NFLFU  doesn't give a fuck about fans, all they care about is $$$$$$$$$$$.

It is a rare person who does not care about $$$$$$$$$$$.
