Email from Sling...

"Dear Valued Customer,

Unfortunately, we were not able to come to a mutual agreement with Disney during our contract renewal. Without a contract, Disney chose to remove their channels from your service.

We apologize as we know this seems sudden. We are also surprised. We believed that we were on track for a new deal until Disney walked away from negotiations late last night. Disney is asking for nearly a billion dollars more for the same channels you are enjoying today. We offered Disney a contract extension to keep working towards an agreement and avoid any interruption to your service. They refused."

Youtubetv. Or Hulu live.

Cable/satellite companies have blackmailed their customers to use the power of the mob to negotiate with their suppliers for too long. F 'em
have you lost your mind - serious question

Watch games at a bar or YouTube TV. Dish and cable aren't worth it.


That bar likely has dish or cable.

Anyone still with Dish network this is on you. They're the worst company by far.
JD Power's #1 ranked the last 5 years. So there's that.

I was a sling customer till earlier this morning.

Does FUBO TV still have the ESPN family of channels?
I know Disney owns a large steak in that company.

Yeah, I have Fubo and utilize different email addresses to get a free month trial of YTTV during MLB playoffs and March Madness.

It wasn't really CBS, it was Tegna which OWNed many CBS stations, and I think some Fox stations. But a lot of them were Texas stations.

I recall the CBS Sports app was free during those dark times.

Disney is run by a bunch of pedophiles that hate America.

Here's what I do. I have directv at my house. I bring one of my boxes from my patio and set it up. As long as you don't have the genie system, it's no problem. Regardless you can bring you main receiver out there and use it to your heart's content. You get what you pay for. Pay month to month to Dish, then get ready to bend over every 6 months bc they constantly have channels they drop.
So do you have a dish for the DirecTV receiver or are you somehow streaming? If streaming are you using a phone as a hotspot, or exactly how does this work? And as poor as phone service is in College Station on a game day, I'm surprised this would work.

So there is no free option to watch the game that does require a bull**** sub subcription?

Nice that the contract expired on the 1st day of a billing cycle, so you have to pay providers but don't get the service (football) for which you signed up

Why should it be free?

It's worked every year for 13 years taking a box and a satellite on a tripod. So easy
