it is easier to cut ties with streaming. I did not keep Fox One. Not enough value

YouTube TV is how we watch all the network and cable channels live. So we can't just drop it, like Netflix or Hulu. We would have to replace it with something else. Or possibly we could keep it, and add an NBC streaming service. Actually, Peacock would probably work, except it doesn't play live broadcasts. We'd need a streaming version of our local NBC affiliate (which does exist, but I'm not sure how it works).

I can access live broadcasts on Peacock. Then again, it might be reading the DirectTV access online?

We get the NBC broadcast from the Madison channel. I no longer live in Madison but live very close enough I can put an antenna by the window and pick it up fine. Same with Fox and ABC. I use Paramount Plus for the CBS broadcast, that reception isn't very good

I think Peacock may air some programming live. But I believe it also acts as an archive for NBC and Bravo shows, which are available after the live airing. The problem is that we get our local news and local programs from the affiliate.

We're an hour away from Boston and Portland, so we don't have that option.

You just need a really tall antenna. Probably tall enough to require aircraft warning lights.

We got rid of cable so I bought an HDTV antenna but it only gets a half dozen channels and not the ones we really want.

Turn a pine tree into a antenna.

That would be hard to decorate for Christmas.

Problem solved!

The MLB playoffs are on HBO Max. Nice to catch an inning or two now the Apple Friday night is done for the season

I heard this morning that You Tube TV will not have ESPN on its viewing menu. I don't have it but I think that is terrible for subscribing viewers that were depending on it.

Scotch just mentioned that in the Jeopardy thread. ESPN and ABC dropped due to dispute with Disney.

 

[MadisonRadio1]

Ah I see, ok I will post my thoughts there.

I'm been thinking of cancelling my Hulu once it combines with Disney next year. My family members appear to be ok with that

 

[Wolf]

I wanted to try out the all-new ESPN+ and it's alight. Plus, I haven't really watched anything on it for couple of months. So, I finally cancelled it.

Once Disney+ combines Hulu into their streaming service. Another streaming dropped, I doubt I will save any money there. It usually costs the same amount.
