Not really. It’s a 2019 Samsung smart tv. I’ve been watching YouTube on it so I don’t know why this would not work.

You need a VPN(5.99 a
Month) so your internet provider won't throttle your internet speed.

I've had Apollo for 6 years now.

Well, kinda depends. If it’s cable television, ala ESPN, then most anyone who isn’t a stealing crook who chooses to watch.


Don't worry, they have the same sort of tortured justification as the person who walked out of the grocery store with two ribeyes in their underwear earlier today.

Trying Hulu tv with redzone and the espn app.

After the first day without multiview on YTTV I'm a bit distraught. Not being able to setup which channels I want to see and in what order is needed also.

Just heard some Vegas guys say that Disney wants espn off YTTV forever! This way it will drive more people to their products.

If Disney operates TV contacts like they do with ticket prices only the wealthy will be watching the SEC in the future.

I was thinking this too. Seems like they’re going to price the working man out of even WATCHING these games. The SEC - one of the truly great institutions this nation has ever produced - killed in the name of the unrighteous mammon. DISGUSTING!

Doing a free trial of Direct TV. The interface is awful.


Really? I like it. Maybe it's just what you get used to using.

I switched back to them Friday and have used it in the past. I think their picture better is better for some reason but as others stated, the interface is horrid and I hate you. Any pick what viewing area. I live in maurepas but want Nola news.

Just use regular YouTube. Search “college football” and watch every game.


I tried doing this with several games yesterday and could never find an actual stream. The closest I could find was a screen showing stats with the commentators in the background

I watched games all day on YouTube doing this. Except I searched CFB.

If viewership drops enough, Mighty Disney will be hard pressed to pay their contracted fees to the SEC and even to the ACC.

Oh that makes me cry not one whit.

Where will the money come from that the colleges expect to have to pay off the coaching contracts?

Anyone want to make a custom set of dominoes of who controls what and when?

I think this situation sucks and Disney should be investigated as a monopoly as they are leveraging this to either bleed YouTube TV users or force them to switch to their Hulu tv service.

That said you can watch 3 SEC games for the cost of an antenna every Saturday of the season.

It seemed like the ABC games were getting pulled quick but every other game was fine. I’ve watched ABC games all year on YouTube until yesterday.

That's fine. Only thing I watch on regular tv is the morning news and the weather channel

I didn't know that. I bet the HD picture isn't as good as it is for satellite.

The HD picture is better than youtube? I might have to switch if that's true.

I doubt there will be enough people like me to matter but as far as I go Disney and YouTube have sort of fricked themselves here, I did a Fubo free trial to watch Saturday, next week Tennessee has a bye, the week after that they play New Mexico State. I can do without television for all of this. Sure I'd like to see the other games too but oh well it's not worth this bullshite they can all eat shite I've already paused my YouTube tv
