    look buy a metro by T-Mobile modem $50 unlimited use. it works all over the country for the most part. I took it on trips and had internet in my car at least 90% of the time. It will run off most cell towers at 5G ultra capacity. i would get between 50 -400 MB depending on where i was. I used You Tube TV. Had very little problems.
    Used it at my house also in very Rual Arkansas.

    It?s best to drop satellites. We Roku and we don?t have many complaints and it?s way cheaper.

    You probably can't watch it on Roku either since they require that you have a subscription with your provider, and if DirecTV is in a squabble over contracts you'd no longer have a provider with ESPN. I suppose you can't watch tonights FSU/Boston College game either.

    Contract disputes with local channels isn't a big deal since you can get them over the air with an antenna. But ESPN is different since they don't broadcast.

    I have Dish and they switch to streaming when there's a weather issue. That's something fairly recent.

    I paid for a month subscription of ESPN+ to watch the EKU game, but now i cant even use the app because of the Direct TV/ESPN crap.
    What does the ESPN app have to do with DTV?
    Like 7, spotty WIFI is the only reason I haven't dropped DTV, but if I have to pay for another steaming service for the ASU game this weekend....the DTV dish is out by the road on Sunday morning.

    I had Hulu already, so I added espn+. This worked for the lsu game, but I couldn't watch fsu game last night, so apparently it doesn't cover all espn broadcasts

    I was able to watch the LSU game on DTV, but thought about testing it last night when I couldnt watch the FSU game as ESPN+ app would not let me.
    Oh and ESPN does not give refunds for the APP so I paid $11.46 for one game......

    For those about to drop DTV or who may be interested in switching packages, you can go to http://www.suppose.tv to compare streaming services.

    Hulu live, YouTube TV and getting the ESPN App are all good options but if your internet is slow Spectrum may be the way to go.

    Just realized how much I was paying for DTV just to literally get the SEC Network. I'll be switching to YouTubeTV regardless if DTV gets ESPN back before Saturday. Thank you for providing this.

    Same here except I'm going Hulu due to some extra nerd content. I'm only around 2.5 miles from campus but can't get anything but 4 County's Fast Net. I kept my DTV because I was wary of their fiber internet service but I've had it around a year and a half now and I've only had 1 outage which was taken care of in less than a day. It's time to flush DTV.

    As I understand it, Disney has all of the ESPN stuff in its control, which seems crazy to me since that sounds like Disney is in a dispute with itself...Over this old head. I have held on to my ATT Uverse for tv for years, though ATT has tried to get folks to leave it and switch to Direct TV.

    First time in all of the past disputes of any kind that I lost access to the ESPN family. Anyway, I added You Tube TV yesterday and at 84, it is taking me a little longer to learn to navigate it.

    You will get it. Congratulations on your longevity. My old boss lived to the ripe old age of 104 and in mostly good health along the way. You are probably just entering your prime.

    Direct's contractural squabble with ESPN won't last long since almost certainly a lot of people are dropping them nationwide. Chances are it'll all be resolved by the weekend.

    Is Thursday night NFL only on Prime this year?

    I?m a few years behind oldjoedog, but I am not technology proficient at all. I hate it. I think I am going to get a tv fire stick and subscribe to Hulu and cancel Uverse tv. It is so expensive now. Any comments or suggestions?

    Just make sure to go with Hulu live and not just Hulu if you plan to buy that service. Hulu live shows live television and they do carry all the SEC Networks as well

    ESPN + is a different animal. If the broadcast is listed on + it will not be on ESPN no matter who your carrier is. It is an extra service of ESPN.
