Got a smartTV, so gonna cancel DTV and go with YouTubeTV, Hulu, whatever. But looks like YTV only gives me stupid Rangers coverage on Fox Sports Southwest.

Any tips?

MLBStreams on Reddit. Be careful of pop-up adds and viruses though.

FuboTV carries ATTSportsnet

They do not however have ABC or ESPN so I went with PlayStation Vue just for football season.

I got FuboTV for Astros and Rockets viewing. Also has DVR function.

I use Playstation Vue for TV.

For Astros, I use my TCL Roku TV, Smart DNS service and MLB.tv.

please elaborate on this for the tech dumbness in me. I have a TCL Roku TV as well so this intrigues me. What is DNS service?

I use FuboTV and have been happy. Only downside is no ESPN, but it's easy enough to use someone else's espn log-in on the app.

I also use my PS4 with MLB.tv and a DNS service. Easiest way.

Roku Ultra + mlb.tv + overplay.net. There's a thread on here that explains it all. Fubo doesn't have MLB Network or else I would consider switching from Vue. Although Blummer and Kalas are pros, I like to watch the opposition's stream sometimes.

I'm a homer and I need a homer broadcast. I hate national or opponent broadcasts. That's why I can't do MLB.

You can pick either one (ATTSW feed or opposition feed).

but I don't care about any other mlb games but the Stros. So FuboTv works just fine.

Those of you that are on FuboTV - is that your sole provider for everything that you watch, or do you find yourself needing to supplement it with YouTubeTV, or Hulu, etc?

We're supplementing it with PlayStation Vue just during football season.

Like I mentioned FuboTV doesn't have any of the ESPNs or ABC.

Even with carrying both it's cheaper than what we were paying for DTV.

We use FuboTV for live TV. We have Netflix and Amazon for streaming shows. Also HBOgo and ESPN +

we hardly watch TV in a traditional sense anymore but yes I fubo and my antenna when I do. The only small gripe is if you are just chilling out channel surfing, when you are using the guide to see what's on you won't be able to continue watching the previous channel in the corner of the screen like you would with most cable/dish guides these days. Very first world problem though.

I'm loving Attnet on FuboTV. With Comcast, I could only stream live tv from my home wifi. Not outside.

With Fubo, I can watch Astros on my phone or tablet or hotel smart tv anywhere I go.

Smart DNS helps mask your location, so you can avoid the blackouts by MLB.tv. I use overplay.net. It works with Roku. Overplay has setup instructions on its website that will walk you through it. You will have to tweak some settings on your router, but the instructions show you how to do it. Overplay offers support of you need it.

Right now, you could sign up for a month of MLB.tv and month of overplay to see if you like it. It will be about a $30 gamble, but when you see it working, it will be worth it.

Is there a way to set up your favorite team to autorecord on Fubo?? I'm loving it, other than the fact that I have to remember to manually record every Astros game.
