I do, she’s 96 and has never used internet anything before. She lives with my aunt that doesn’t do internet either, so to have internet in the home I set them up with it. I pay for internet and a basic TV package through spectrum that allows them to stream on 3 TVs so they didn’t have to rewire the house and pay for cable boxes. And it allows for Wi-Fi when folks come over. The Roku remotes also simply everything so I’m not going over every time they hit the wrong button. After my dad passed my mom moved in with them too and uses the Wi-Fi. I tried to get my mom and aunt to switch to spectrum phone service on the buy one get one free 49.99 unlimited data deal but my aunt doesn’t want a smart phone.

I mean, at what point does ESPN just say "screw it" and offer a streaming package of their own?
They announced this last month.
quote:
ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery announced plans on Tuesday to launch a sports streaming platform in the fall that will include offerings from at least 15 networks and all four major professional sports leagues.
The platform will include games from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, NASCAR and college sports, including the men's and women's NCAA tournament, as well as golf, tennis and the FIFA World Cup.
It will include offerings from 15 linear networks: ESPN, ESPN+, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPNEWS, ABC, Fox, FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network, TNT, TBS, truTV.
Subscribers would also have the ability to bundle the product with Disney+, Hulu and/or Max.

HBO had a crappy app, then doubled down and rebranded to ditch one of the most iconic names in entertainment to call their app "Max".
It was also an old competitor's name..
Cinemax. Even more odd to me. Sure many of ya'll remember that name.

It’s called corporate greed, and you probably voted to give these companies tax breaks.

ESPN is planning to offer a streaming package. Price point will be critical.
Doesn't Disney own both ESPN and Hulu Live TV. I would think they wouldn't want to compete with themselves.

Hulu has live TV, but i get your point.

You continue to display your stupidity.
Corporate taxes are a tax on the people who own the corporation, who are then taxed again whenever they receive any sort of payment from the corporation.

Seems you have to keep adding more and more packages to watch football now.
I hate espn+
Then if you don’t have the SEC network it’s a possibility that the games you are wanting to watch will be on it. But if you have the package it never plays them.
I don’t like the Paul Finebaum show so buying that package is out for me.

Sorry you're poor.
From my experience, it’s the poors that blow their money. This guy has a point that he doesn’t want to spend over $1k per year on something he barely uses regardless of worth or income.
Maybe spending $200 on a couple mini PCs and VPN through a family member’s home is the answer. Not an option for me as I have to have my games on multiple TVs inside and outside and am not about to get into screen splitting, but 3 YTTV streams is plenty for two normal couples.

It wouldn’t be a competition but rather an expansion of ESPN+ that already has a toe in that market.

ESPN is planning to offer a streaming package. Price point will be critical. It'd have to be at least half the cost of the Sling package to be a legitimate option. All ESPN networks for $10-15/mo...yeah, but I wouldn't pay more than that.
It's genuinely laughable. ESPN+ was barely worth it at the initial $5. Since then they've more than doubled the price and done absolutely nothing to improve the service.

The ONLY reason I have had a live TV package the last few years was for sports. No more.
I thought your post was going to be about dissatisfaction with the Aggies and you refusing to watch them any further.

Please be honest.
Did you attend college? Yes/No

If they want to kill college football, they should just move it to pay-per-view. That's what they did to boxing in the late 70s, and now no one follows boxing except for the gamblers.
I know I'm not paying to watch football games on TV, especially when they still have commercials.

Because they rushed them to market just to have it.
