ESPN and DirecTV

We still have Directv. Even though every football game I watch on Saturday, and now most of the afternoon games on Sunday are streamed, I really don't want to have everything stream. If we want DVR with our local cable company it is streamed service only. So we've kept Directv just out of familiarity and function. No ESPN right now, which 2 years ago would've straight pissed me off. But there isn't hardly anything I need to watch on their networks now. I could go the entire football season and wouldn't miss it because now the games on + are all I care about - and those really are just local game broadcasts that ESPN puts on their app, it's not like they produce or staff those games (which I really like that it isn't their product). I do have an account I can log into so I can watch MNF on the app if need be. Last night it was on ABC. Everything else I need is available on + So really if Directv and ESPN never come to terms, I'm fine with that. My wife wouldn't be. But if that happens they better be lowering the bill.
 
DirecTv has filed lawsuit on Disney. Good for them. Disney trying to force expanded packages (more channels, more price). Disney is an evil woke entity nowadays. Like I said, DirecTV not at fault here.
 
at first I was able to get around this going through the app
now it wants provider. that's the kiss of death

any advice?
Ags play on ABC , which my local being BELO(or whomever bought them) is still on, but shit gets real when it's ESPN/SECn.
 
Have you tried any of the streaming apps through a firestick? Not sure what I am allowed to say but I pay $90 a year and get every( every ) channel. Just need a good wifi connection.

Do you have any kids with a TV provider you can use? Brother, sister, anyone that would let you use their TV package as a way to log in through the ESPN app? I use one from out family on my ESPN app, it's for a provider in a different state than I am in, but I have the log in and it works fine. Something like this should work for you, just have to find the person you can borrow that log in from.
 
Hey fellas I know we're trying to help each other and as a dtv customer I'm just as pissed as you are but we can't link or name streaming sites, specifically illegal ones here due to legalities. Thanks.
 
As a college football fan and bettor, especially live, I paid for Hulu TV for the month. It's been great but it's definitely no dtv. Get ESPN+ with it. I figure I'll only have to pay for the month or two months at max. Worth it to me.

hulu came with the disney+ sub and so did espn+, but I still couldn't get the broadcast once every app wanted my provider. even tried to lie, but still required a login to those provider.
Possible I don't remember how I got around it before.
The devil in this can of soup is, that it is not DTV, It's ATT. AT&T is definitely the devil incarnate.
I have At&T on 3 accounts, just give me someone to talk to and then that person will reconsider their life choices.

You have to add Hulu TV to that package. I think it's 65 bucks or some shit. They all are devils man.

ESPN is joining the streaming game? Fuuuuck, too many of them. It's killing the wallet.

Yeah...

In the next couple of weeks I'm sitting down and figuring out what to do with all of this.

That's unless DTV gives me a better offer.

Retention department time!

I can't cut the cord yet. One, because cable/satellite is faster, and two no ballys for Detroit sports. Probably would switch if got ballys though tbh.
 
Glad the issue is over. ESPN only good for Saturday 7 EST football, Sunday night baseball, and Monday night football. The other Disney and ESPN channels are worthless.
