What's the major hurdle of getting locals streaming? We can get them for free over the air...why not streaming?

Technologically, it's not difficult. It does require some resources, but is eminently doable.easttexasaggie04 said:

Typically, most of the streaming services does have the national brand (CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, etc) shows on-demand, but the actual local channel streaming varies by service and by local area.Boo Weekley said:Doesn't Vue have NBC all other major networks?

I've had Vue for several months. I'm going to try YTTV since it should have all major networks. I want to be able to watch Sunday Night NFL.
For example, I have DTVNow and just got local streaming in B/CS about two weeks ago for CBS, NBC and Fox. No ABC local but On-Demand streaming.
Sling TV at the same location has only Fox On-Demand and NBC On-Demand.
YouTube TV not officially available here.
Can't look up PSVue at work; gaming is blocked?
The only national airings that I've found to be blacked out are games shown on MLB and NBA Networks. Anything on ESPN, TNT, ABC, or FOX are not blacked out.Quote:
No college football blackouts last year. Different story for Astros & Rockets as they have regional TV deals that can interfere with national airings.
That's good. When I tried to sign up (it was a few months ago) it still wasn't available here. I guess they consider us as part of the Waco market?Heismenberg said:nwspmp said:Each service has varying levels of local channel access due to licensing and streaming rights.

I tried the YTTV free 7 day trial and I live in B/CS. It's definitely available here. Got all the channels they offer and all the locals including ABC.

Can you watch college football on the on demand channels that PSVue and the like offer? For example...could i watch a game live on ABC?
Did you happen to watch any world cup on hulu live? quality good?garc said:aggiechugger said:
This is my last month of Dish Network. I believe I will be going with Hulu live tv as my streaming service. I can get all the local channels with Hulu (no way to get OTA local where I am). As of right now I have a Fire Stick but I am thinking about getting either the new Fire cube or the Roku Ultimate.
One thing to note: right now, Hulu Live does not have a guide for the Roku. I hear they are working on it.
The current Hulu UI for Roku is not good imo. I use Hulu on my android phone to see the guide.
Other than that, I'm pleased with it.
Not sure about those, but you may be able to watch them if your Vue subscription gives you access to the NBC and CBS Sports apps. I know Vue gives me access to the Fox Sports app, which has the national Fox broadcast games (except for NFL) as well as FS1 and regionals.easttexasaggie04 said:
What about NBC or CBS?

Do you only use a Roku? Would be interested in how the UI is with FireTV products (Stick, Cube)
Access to college football has been discussed on this thread numerous times.jah003 said:
My 2 year contract is up with Directv and my bill increased about $40. I would like to dump them completely, but access to college football and the Astros are a must. So... with that in mind am I stuck with Directv? I just don't see any other way I can access the Astros since they are on AT&T Sports Net. I'm sure I could call, threaten to cancel, and get a pretty good deal for 2 years...
We have a fire stick on every tv with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. So, the only reason I have have Directv anymore is for sports.

Well it would appear that my call to Dish Network to cancel my service had results. I had a retention rep call me this afternoon about what it would take for me to stay with Dish. I explained to the rep that the bill had gotten too high and I was going to stream tv instead. The rep got my monthly bill down below $87 a month without any changes in programming or amount of tvs hooked up to Joeys. Dish must be feeling the pinch of people leaving.

Which package?
I am looking at the $50/month and want to know the final cost with taxes. We currently have Hulu Live advertised at $40, but final bill is actually $47

Taxes are like a typical purchase. You don't have the extra fees that the government gets with satellite or cable. Vue is/was $45/mo and final bill was like $48 ish.

Ok, so $50/month is probably $54. Thanks.
Anyone have input on Directv now?
