Maybe you guys can advise me here. I have Di$h and hate it. I want all the ESPN channels that televise college and pro football games. I want SEC network. Also want my local networks. ABC etc. I am in the Birmingham, Alabama broadcast area. Any advise ? I do have Roku TV's . Not super tech savvy, but not a total DA.

We changed from Direct TV several years ago to streaming via YouTubeTV/Roku stick. Love it. Just make sure you have very good internet speed, not the slow dinosaur Brightspeed basic package.

I'm in Prattville Al and have Spectrum streaming. While it's not cheap you do get promo deals for 6 months to a year on some packages. We just got a huge ESPN package with all kind of football, collage and pro, and other sports.Not sure if you can get it where you are. Good luck !!

I'm using the new ESPN unlimited/hulu/disney+ bundle to cover espn/sec network games and the fox one app for everything else. Already had peacock and paramount+. All of those include their local ota channel from what I can tell.
All have roku apps that work pretty well. No contract so I can turn them off after the season is done. Works well for me so far.

Which IPTV service are you using?

I just look up games on free youtube and am always able to find a feed.

I Second regular You Tube is all you need. Once playoffs come that doesn’t work but until then you are good.

I do this too (watch most games on free You Tube). Occasionally, You Tube will block the games and you may be SOL. Also, if you miss the game for whatever reason, you can watch the entire game on Sunday with zero problems.
Also, I think you can get the games on Sling on a daily basis (&4.95/day).

Yeah, this works and when it doesn’t:
Streamed dot su is a nice alternative

The very cheapest would probably be to subscribe to the ESPN thing for $30 a month and then subscribe to paramount and Fox 1 to get CBS and Fox

I use YouTube TV and the thing I like about it is that I am not locked into a contract and can cancel at any time. To be honest, I almost canceled after the FSU game. Lay anymore eggs, and I will find something else to do with that 85 bucks a month

Check out iptvtrends.net. This is an amazing service. It cost a whopping $121 per year for one tv and $200 per year for two tv's. You have to buy a fire stick to put on you tv. About $40. It has all the nationsl networks, ESPN and all the conference networks. One amazing thing is say the San Francisco 49'ers are playing and you don't get it in your area you can go to the Network station in almost all cities in the U. S. and they will be carrying the game. You can watch all the national Network stations across the country. I saw this at a friend's house here in Florida yesterday. I don't have it yet but going to get it. You have to have internet because all the feeds come through the internet.

Yeah, for quality skip the piracy and just do this for ESPN. Then set up he HD rabbit ears if you want Fox/CBS/NBC. I think the only non ESPN football I've watched this season has been Texas-OSU on Fox.
Or just pay the $90 whatever for youtube tv.
