Those shite stains have absolutely ruined my football Saturday. Went and opened a HULU account and now having technical difficulties with IP address being able to stream live. Absolute shite show. Had suspended my service from dish and reactivated it in august just for football season. Never again with these pieces of human garbage.

Youtube TV is awesome. Cancel the rest.

People always make fun of preppers and call them paranoid kooks until shite inevitably hits the fan

Let me know if you want help saving your Saturday

Right now I’m able to sign in to espn app through hulu login on my fire stick. The problem with going to streaming only is I live in the middle of bum frick Egypt and internet can be spotty out here. Another year until we have fiber out here they say.

Does this fire stick thing allow you to cast from phone or iPad to your smart tv through cellular?

Just to clarify Disney could have kept the channels on and elected not to. It's a contract negotiation and the timing is from them not Dish.

Disney pulled this with youtubetv during bowl season last year. I canceled YouTubetv immediately and had a free trial of Sling going in 5 minutes

This situation is so diabolical. ESPN learned from that where the trapped rats are and they’re exploiting it

I think the fire stick does do that but after over an hour on the phone with hulu I am finally in action.

It's all Di$ney. They did it to YouTubeTV, they're doing it to Dish now. Dish offered to keep them through negotiations. Di$ney forced them to remove their channels.

What is Disney asking for that DISH finds unacceptable?
• First, Disney is demanding DISH and you to pay nearly a billion dollars more for the same channels you are enjoying today.
• Second, Disney is seeking to eliminate choice for our customers.
* As many of our customers may not want to watch sports, we have select packages that don’t carry ESPN, ESPN2. Now Disney is demanding that people who don’t subscribe to them and other Disney channels have to now pay for them.
* DISH has fought for years and is proud to be the only TV provider to allow their customers to remove their local channels to save money. Now Disney wants to take this away by forcing most DISH customer in their ABC markets to pay for local channels.
• We don’t think this is fair and that is why we are fighting hard for a fair rate to ensure you get the best possible value from DISH.

I have YouTube with Disney+ and ESPN. I started this game on SEC Network but the audio was about 10 seconds behind the video so I went to YouTube, selected Home, and it switched me to ESPN and the audio was fine.
I have no problem with YouTube.

Same for me. I’ve got Viasat internet service that I bought through Dish. I was watching the game on HULU Live and with 10 minutes left in the game I was kicked offline and got an email that said “you’ve used all of your high speed data…..blah blah blah… I pay $150 month for internet that shitty.

Yeah I always forget that. If I use too much internet att charges me. The internet in my house is a little antenna outside on a pole that points at the local cellphone tower. They throttle me back when I use too much so until we get real internet out here I am stuck with satellite.

Did that a year ago and went to YouTube TV. I’m not being held hostage by these cable providers.

Lack of Bally sent me back to Xfinity.

I picked up Fubo yesterday to watch the game,$69.00 a month. I'll be ordering fire sticks or Roku's for the other rooms and mailing my Dish equipment back next week. Been paying close to $200.00 a month for several years now and it just isn't worth it.
