Dammit, that was the main reason I dropped Dish to go to YTTV.

Only one I can see is Hulu or use someone's user/password to watch on Foxsports go or off to Kodi.

If you care about rangers, using MLB.TV with a DNS unblocker is perfection. Well worth the $100 bucks and $5/month for DNS.

It gets you around all the commercials, so Angie Stevens is no longer a cornerstone of your evening.

NBA.tv is even easier to get around blackouts if you know someone with cable, or just use a dns unblocker.

Nowadays you can just unblock your fire stick or whatever and the rest of your internet stays as is.

You can also get a tmobile code for MLBtv on reddit for about $15 bucks, and a year DNS sub is about $40. Not sure if anyone runs a promo like tmobile does for nba you can get for cheap.

Got any links? Reddit's search tool is trash and I can't find any. TIA!

Not sure if they are out yet. Usually during the last couple weeks of spring training they release them.

I just dumped Hulu for YTTV, for the AMC channel. Guess I will switch back after Better Call Saul is over.

I'm sure this is a negotiating tactic by Youtube TV. They have to get it worked out because the main reason people subscribe to YTTV is because of sports. IIRC, YTTV even marketed themselves as the sports service when they first launched, so this would be a huge blow to their subscriber base.

I'm giving my subscription a few weeks for them to work things out before I switch to something else.

It'll likely get resolved, but Sling is in a similar contract dispute and it's been over 6 months with no FSSW. I have YTTV and am pissed. It was literally the perfect streaming/cable service for me and now I can't get Mavs and Rangers.

I asked them today when I was canceling and she said it may be a while. I also have dish and it's been since September since they had fssw. I got hulutv today cause I'm not missing of our three teams.

And we still have Fox Sports! YouTube and Sinclair reaches a temporary agreement to keep it on the air until a final agreement can be reached.

The ease of cancelling these services should put more pressure on the provider to solve these issues, but it gives the content providers more leverage which may ultimately impact the price.

Fox Sports Southwest announced on Twitter an hour ago that a long term deal has been reached with YouTube!

What do they mean by "most"? I haven't had FSSW since Sunday, despite the temporary extension that was announced.

That's odd. My YouTube TV hasn't had an interruption in any FSSW programming.

I'm not sure what they mean by most, candidly I missed that when I first saw the tweet.

I never lost service either. Strange that some did.

Basketball and hockey suspended, I guess we don't need FSSW after all...

Man I would love to go back to the time when this was the big worry.
