YTTV just rolled out a sports only package that's about $30 cheaper than normal, I think. It has all the "normal" sports channels plus the ABC/NBC/CBS stations and TNT+others.

I don't have that, but it'd be worth looking into.

Both YouTube TV and FUBO went to a sports package that also gives network channels. I THINK both are around $50-$60. I'm with you. YouTube seems to fight with ESPN a lot and then pulls games at the last minute leaving sports fans scrambling. Once they pulled it last season, I dropped them and went with FUBO.

I haven't fully decided what I am going to do yet, but I will remember what YouTube TV did last year. I was not a happy camper.

ETA
Just looked it up. FUBO is $54.99 for the first month then goes to $64.99 after that, and you can cancel at any time.

Looks like YouTube is $54.99 for the first 12 months then $64.99 after that. I only subscribe during football season so I'm not sure what happens if you cancel after January.

YouTube how to jailbreak firestick. Then look at iptv services. Get the downloader app. And use a smart code to download iptv. May want to use a VPN.

I did espn sports package last year. I think it was $39/month and you get everything but the 1 mandatory streaming game.

I cancelled after the playoffs.

It is about time for me to confirm the price is the same again

This is not easy for someone who doesn't understand how things works these days. If you want to me to walk you through it I will. Not on here.

Can you find a close neighbor or family member that will share with you? I won't say anything here but if we can talk on phone I can explain.

It should. When I had it it streamed every game on one of the channels. It also ha the ability to do a picture in picture, so if you are interested in more than one game playing at the same time, you can watch both games. I like YouTube. The only nitpick I had with them is they tend to have contract disputes with ESPN and can stop carrying ESPN channels at any given time during a contract dispute. I don't know when their contract comes time to renew, so just be prepared.

You can look into an IPTV. I used it for a short while. It was $15 per month and came with 2,200 channels, PPV, 80k movies etc. You will need to run it through a VPN ($6) a month. If their severs are having issues, you are out of luck. The year I used it there were minor issues (slight delay, lower resolution), but all the games came through.

This is the way. I pay $20/month for one of these services. It has 10,000+ live channels and every movie and TV series you can think of.
