I cut the cord years ago, and the only time I have a streaming service is during CFB season and sometimes for BB. I've done YouTube TV in the past, but haven't kept up with media deals at all this year.

Will YouTube TV still get all the AU and SEC games, or do I have to pay for something else too? Is YouTube the best deal?

IDK about the best deal, but YouTube TV will get you all the games.

I pay a shitload for DirecTV and they took ESPN out of my package a few years back. Said it has moved to a higher tier package. This was just regular ESPN which was part of all basic cable and satellite packages for decades.

frick them. I now watch pirate streams and don't feel the least bit guilty about it.

I’ve been using Hulu Live since I cut the cord 6 years ago and have never had any issues

All games for Auburn will be ESPN or CBS. The Samford game, week 3 will be stream only on ESPN+ / SECNetork+.

YouTube TV is what I use. Unlimited Recording. Will also record if the game goes later than expected. But there are a lot of options.

ETA: New feature for YouTube TV will allow you to watch 2-4 games at the same time. You choose which one you want audio for. Came out during March Madness. Can’t wait to use for Football.


quote:

Q: If a game is airing on both SEC Network+ and ESPN+ simultaneously, where do I watch? A: Both streams will be available in the ESPN App. SEC Network authenticated subscribers of AT&T TV, Cox, DIRECTV, DISH Network, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Optimum, Sling TV, Spectrum TV, Suddenlink, Verizon Fios, Xfinity TV, YouTube TV, Vidgo, members of the NCTC, as well as those with access to SEC Network through TV connected devices, can watch the game via SEC Network+. If you do not have access to SEC Network, you can access games via a subscription to ESPN+.

The downside to streaming is you can’t watch 2 games at the same time on 2 different tvs if the both are on ESPN networks, the struggle is real, my wife is a Gump.

Sure you can. Just need to set up your systems correctly. I tend to watch at least two or three games depending upon what is going on.

With YouTube tv can you watch a football game on ESPN in one room and a game on ESPN 2 at the same time?

On Hulu you can be watching infinite games as long as you are at the same address

What are people that have youtubetv paying overall(youtubetv and internet)?

I still just don't see the benefit of cutting the cord with the cost of it now. It's $73/month for the basic youtube TV. High speed internet is going to run you at least $100, if not more. Let's say it's $100, so you're at $173/month.

I pay just over that for Comcast internet/tv, so I still haven't been able to bring myself to make the switch, not to mention I wouldn't be able to watch the Braves.

I pay about $25 a month to WOW for internet. Maybe mines not very fast, but it seems to work just fine for streaming.

500 up & down for about 50 a month. Put an antenna in my attic and I get a lot of channels. Watch whatever I want online. I have hulu, disney, espn+ bundle for about 10 bucks a month wrapped into my phone deal.

Don't have any issues.

Cell coverage bundled with home internet is the best way to save money in these arenas imo. Worth it as long as the carrier has decent signal where you live
