Yes, brother, I think a lot of us also use an antenna but I won't be able to get any games that aren't on ABC, Fox, or CBS. NBC signal is too weak at my house so I can't get anything on that. With an antenna only, you're only going to be able to watch 3 games on a Saturday, but nothing that is on ESPN or SECN.
Actually CW has games now too.

Every "elderly person" I know – myself included – can certainly understand when they're being insulted.

The best thing to do is rub two sticks together until you make a spark and stream it to your flip phone.

I guess I am old school. I refuse to move to another service and reward Disney for squeezing a carrier to force a rate increase. All of you frickers that switched service providers so you wouldn't miss a few games just rewarded Disney for raising carriage rates. I'm sure you guys will be the first to complain when Disney does it to the carrier you just switched to.
This is America in a nutshell. Reward the evil behavior. Complain about the negative consequences. Never gain enough knowledge to understand it’s your own fault for allowing this to happen
ESPN+, Disney+, Hulu, Fubo……switching to any of these is doing exactly what they hoped you would. OTA is the better option. You won’t die if you don’t get to watch your team’s FCS game on SEC network.
If you pay for one of the Disney services though, nobody wants to hear a peep out of you when Disney dictates every move the SEC makes from here on out. Don’t complain when the conference expands again

Right on. FK the Mouse. Will do everything to avoid their plague. Disney and ESPN and ABC suck balls.
Don't you now wish the SEC stayed with SeeBS?

Yes. The CBS game of the week was classic.
The way forward should be more NFL style. Rent out the biggest national games to multiple networks, so they compete against each other. All other games plus the national games with no blackouts on Saturday Ticket. An SEC owned and operated premium service. Collect all the profits and cut out Disney.
Probably would have to team up with the B1G to make it happen

I have the ESPN Direct to Consumer app that is bundled with Disney+ and Hulu package for $29/month. It’s is perfect for me, I get all the ESPN platforms on the app…and I get local channels with a $15 HDTV antenna from Best Buy.
For those who can’t live without Fox Channels, you can bundle Fox One with the ESPN app for $39/month.

Why? Spend over $120/month for channels I don’t watch. I can watch everything I want for $29/month

Absolutely not. The 3 biggest games of the day are all on ABC from 11 am until 9:30 pm or so. It's great. CBS had one game every Saturday besides like one weekend.
I have the OTA antenna, Hulu, Disney, ESPN unlimited ($30 a month for all 3) and have had this so it's worked fine for me

My temporary fix for tomorrow is 5 Day Free Trial on FUBO ....trying it out for a test run tonight and the picture quality is excellent.
After first month it's $85 a month for over 200 some channels.

Btw, any reason why Prime sucked last night for the Thurs NFL game?
It absorbed the suckage of the game itself.

I did the 5 day Fubo free trial last weekend. I completely disagree that Fubo is a “high quality” platform. It’s 5 steps back from YTTV. Guide wouldn’t populate half the time. It froze at least a dozen times on Saturday alone, and I had to close and restart the app. Several other little annoying things as well, like every time you open up the guide, it pauses the channel you’re currently watching. The whole interface is just problematic and annoying.
