In a contract raising prices dispute with Spectrum they cut all services the opening day of football season. What a bunch of low life scum bags. I feel like Clark on Christmas Eve with the jelly of the month club.

Didn't dish network do the same to start the season last year? I hate cable/satellite.

They shoe everything in 720 on youtubeTV too. 4k is overrated unless you have an 85" TV or projector, but 720 is a joke in today's world. What do you expect from a bunch of evil POS's though....

They do that thinking the cable companies will cave due to how many people will be wanting to watch.

I'll say this as much as I dislike Google as a company. YoutubeTV is pretty great. Unlimited DVR for a year, $80 a month. I cancel after football season and I'm not stuck in a contract. I can watch on the road when I'm traveling for work. End of the PSA.

Channels gotta pay Billions to the super conferences. They gotta chisel that from consumers and advertisers.

Probably. I don't have a contract though. I'll take my happy rear end over to streaming provider XYZ

They did the same with YouTubeTV recently as well. It's more Disney/ESPN than any of the service providers.

Yep that is problem with all this money trail. It ends up on the people. Same with any tax, companies don't pay it, the people do.

Exactly. ESPN contracts out their camera work most times. Get mad at the level of camera work in certain locations. Bama is always in 1080p at minimum.

I wish everyone understood this principal. Corporations never pay taxes. Consumers do.

Even crap tickets in Colorado cost x3 and parking probably going up too. Since I don't really care about the Buffs, bye.

I'm a dog fan dude, I wish Deon about as much good will as any other non-MSU coach. I don't even know who coaches Air Force, I wish him luck too. I'll be taking my business to Colorado Springs this fall. Bit longer drive.

Im just there to drink beers, watch football, and talk football with people.
