Which means I'm totally out of luck watching football today. OM/Kentucky is on at 11 on ESPN, and our game is on the SEC Network (part of ESPN) so out of luck there too. The SECN outage may affect all of us, not just Dish customers.

I wonder if they can get things settled in the next hour? Usually when Dish has a squabble with local channels it takes months to rectify. Never have had ESPN channels and other Disney things to go away before.

I left dish when they lost regional sports networks. I have to watch the braves, so I pay extra with direct.

ETA... I miss dish for college football. That split screen with 4 games going is strong

I have Hulu+ Live and I like it so far. You get Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN plus with it as well. All the locals and regional sports networks as well. To me, it's well worth the $70 a month.

I may do the YouTubeTV free trial. Dish needs to get their act together.

Sing was involved in this too. I am doing a 14 day free trial on YouTube TV to see if anything gets resolved or not.

If not I'll keep YouTube TV and cancel Sling.
