chocolateTHUNDER posted:Revamped DTVNow app will launch in the spring, plus they're adding a stream to their packages to make it 3 streams total. Would someone with DTVNow try something for me? I can't login to the Paramount Network app or site with my credentials. It says my subscription doesn't include the channel. I know for a fact it does since the channel is included with even the cheapest DTV Now package. Can someone try logging in with their credentials and report back?

NBC Sports streamed it for free with no login required. It was fine. They didn't (couldn't?) air some of the ads but that was about it.

phosdex posted:So what is DTV Now doing right that keeps you guys using it? A dvr function for me is a must, YTTV has got the best dvr it seems (although 9 month max could be problematic for some). But the ui isn't very good overall. If you have an ATT cell plan, you get a hefty discount on it. The TV provider login covers a lot of stuff (pretty much everything except for Turner owned stations)

Bizarro Kanyon posted:This means that certain sports channels are now available to my brother but when I try to watch baseball or college football it says that he is not authorized to watch that content. Do you live in the same area as your brother? I think what's happening is that your brother lives in an area that has access to a particular sports channel, but you don't. So you have the channel because its on his account but when YOU go to watch it, the location check says, "Hey you're not in the right region for this channel," and it won't load.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:3. My biggest interest would be NFL games. What services are available for those? Do you live in your team's market? DirecTV Now will get you Fox Sports Go which will cover NFC games and Thursday Night Football. You also get ESPN for MNF, and NBC Sports for SNF. If your team (and you're in their market) is AFC, you might want to get CBS' streaming service so you get those games.

I barely watch Netflix these days. Most of their original stuff does not appeal to me at all. poo poo, I watch CBS All Access more than it right now. Proteus Jones posted:The thing that kills me is that Disney loving *owns* ESPN. Why can't they offer a full ESPN streaming package. Hell, I'd pay for it separately and a bit more too. Instead we get ESPN+ which is good I guess if you're fans of the sports it carries which is 3rd tier colleges, tennis and soccer it looks like (although if you're a soccer fan, it looks fantastic). ESPN is in the shitter right now and everyone knows it. I suspect they have something in the works for ESPN streaming. As soon as it becomes more profitable to go that route than compared to what they make from cable companies, they'll pull the trigger. I hate talking about megacorporations in this way, but it's clear to me Disney knows what they're doing with all this streaming service poo poo.

Hey guys. I got some coupon codes for Disney+ in the mail. It's two offers, neither as good as the one from a couple weeks ago. But if you missed on that one and want to save a few bucks, here you go: 3 year sub for $169.99 (4.73 per month) 2 year sub for $119.99 ($5.00 per month) Now here's the catch, according to the offer, you have to pay for it with a Disney Visa Card, but you may as well give it a shot just in case it doesn't really care. PM me if you want a code to try

I was using Youtube TV for a couple months but I canceled and just subbed for Hulu w/Live TV. There's drawbacks of course, but it's cheaper and it works for me. I'm keeping it just for football season so I can live with it for a few more months.

I know for myself it came down to Youtube TV and Hulu. Youtube TV is $50 a month. You get unlimited DVR and you can do family sharing with it Hulu is $45 a month. At that price you do up to two simultaneous streams, 50 hours of DVR, and the regular Hulu content. They both have a pretty similar channel lineup, although Hulu does not have AMC for some reason, which might be a dealbreaker for a lot of people.

Has anyone run into issues getting their TV Provider login (Youtube TV specifically) to work with NBC Universal sites and apps? I can watch Sunday Night Football on the YTTV site or app on my NBC station, but I get an authorization error if I try to watch it through the NBC Sports app or site. Same thing with MSNBC. YTTV, no problem, but it when I try the MSNBC app or site, I get authorization errors as if my provider login isn't authorized for it. edit: Interesting. Sorta fixed it. I live in the middle of two markets. In YTTV, I picked the more local one. However, NBC Sports thought I was in the other market, so it was causing an issue with live NBC content. I changed my YTTV to the other one, and it works. Still working on MSNBC. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Nov 11, 2019 |

I'd rather not renew Vue in two days, and switch to Sling, but my area doesn't get local channels for the latter. I've been racking my brain for local TV that I'd actually miss, and watching the ball drop was all I could really think of. Check out Locast. It's available in certain cities and if you're not in one of those cities, there's ways to make your browser think it is.

So here's a weird question that I can't find any info on. I was watching YTTV on my laptop (MacOS) with Chrome, and I got a thing come up on the page that asked if I wanted to install the YTTV app on my computer. I installed it. It's just a Chrome app that opens an instance of Chrome and goes right to YTTV. It behaves like an app. I dragged it to my applications folder and it works as advertised. For some reason, I'm not getting that same prompt to install it on my other MacOS computers. I copied the app to the other computers and it doesn't work on them. There's probably some other file it needs, but whatever. What I really want to know is if there's a link or page I can go to for this app. I've googled the hell out of it and I can't find anything.

It’s not malware. It wasn’t a popup. It was in the YTTV page itself. I’m not that dumb. It’s technically a chrome app. I googled around and some people on Reddit said it is a thing but no one has info on how to install it except for when the page mentions it.

EL BROMANCE posted:I wonder how much AT&T will try keep me as a TV customer when I call in the next few weeks to go fiber internet only. I only took their TV package as it was decently discounted and I got all my local hockey games without having to deal with anything. Now there is no sport, and nothing to watch there's definitely no reason for me to keep it. Antenna for locals into my HDHR, and hockey through NHL and my DNS poo poo will give me all I need and will pay for itself in a few months. Call and find out. It's all you can do. I see stories posted here where the provider bent over backwards to keep a customer and there's been stories where the provider says, "Well just cancel then." These are in places where there's competition and places where there is not.

The American Dream posted:I cancelled my spectrum package that had 10 channels of my choosing for $23 and starz, hbo, showtime and cinemax for an extra $20 last week when I saw my 2 years was up and the price doubled. They didn't try to change my mind, just cancelled it after spending 20 minutes on hold waiting for an operator. I'm on Spectrum. That first package you mentioned (I can't remember the name) would be perfect for me but it's not available in my market for some reason. The other one you mentioned is a newer one. It's not the worst deal around but it doesn't have locals which is a bummer for me. I've been happy with YTTV but I'd probably cancel when/if they hike the price after those new Viacom channels get added.

I'm not going to defend them because gently caress AT&T but a lot of that stuff might be tied up in existing agreements, similar to some things that weren't on Disney+ at launch. Some of the things you mentioned aren't TimeWarner properties. Like American Dad is Fox/Disney (it's all on Hulu) and TW has what are basically re-runs on their networks. I'm not sure about stuff on DCU. There could be some sort of legal fuckery there. It's free for me and I've been watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast all morning, so I can't complain.
