It was weird, I had to sign into the Fox Sports website with my YTV login to watch the penalty kicks.
just upgraded my router, too, and the wifi is twice as good. i can finally get a decent signal in the shitter.
Anyone have YTTV 4k currently? It’s been a year or more since I last had it, and the 4k programming selection was terrible. Curious to see if it has improved at all lately.
Rarely use it. The sports offerings are sometimes the global feed with crap announcers on EPL. But I pay for it bc of (1) Unlimited Streams and (2) viewing recordings offline on the app for travel. thing I love about YTTV has been the ease to turn on/off the add-ons.
It hasn’t. The only reason i have found it worth paying for is that my mom uses my password and if stuff is DVRing while we’re both watching the 4K package allows you to have more screens watching at a time.
It has been a super bleak last 2-3 months or so for 4k footage. Obviously sports is where it might show up. Nothing from Wimbledon, Copa America, Euros, or Golf recently. The olympics will flip that on its head most likely, but some of that could be in Peacock App only and not Yttv specifically.
Oh, good point. Will my $6/month cock sub get me the 4K or would I have to do the full blown highest tier?
Spectrum apparently has a massive outage around here, atleast from San Antonio to Austin and surrounding area all are down right now
Crosspost from TV thread. Not sure how many years it goes back for LG OLEDs, but the C3 can playback two things at once...HDMI & an app...YTTV in this case. View attachment 228922
Not all of these are new on YTTV, but a few are...here is your reminder to un-hide or otherwise look at the bottom of your guide. Especially timely with olympics. And for olympics specifically....only one place/way to watch 4k - a 4k feed of USA channel. NBCUniversal’s USA Network will be offering 24/7 coverage of the Games, and that will be the only channel showing a 4K HDR feed; this is in contrast to NBC’s 2021 Summer Olympics coverage, in which 4K offerings were scattered around the family of networks. NBC’s marquee primetime broadcast, including the opening and closing ceremonies, will not be shown in 4K, nor will the Peacock streaming platform include a 4K option. USA Network’s coverage will focus on Team USA events, including basketball, soccer, track and field, swimming, beach volleyball, water polo, and cycling. For details, see the full schedule of Olympic events.
Starting this week, the MLB Network is available through the MLB app for phones, tablets and most smart TV platforms for $6 per month, allowing fans to stream live out-of-market games offered by the channel as well as the MLB Network’s comprehensive coverage of professional baseball. A bundle that includes MLB Network with MLB At Bat is also being offered for $7 per month.
Their is so much splitting/duplicating and also opaqueness on specific rights that we'll need a lot more info before we can make a judgement on value.
That's probably fine if you only follow American sports and buy an antenna. Seems like a nonstarter for European soccer. Also curious what kind of streaming lag it's going to have. At least in my experience, YTTV at this point runs just barely behind the antenna sometimes.
yeah but they need to be winning back the cord cutters and cord nevers - and particularly sports enthusiasts who will add (or switch) subs to ensure they have the right games/leagues. I haven't reviewed the post-op stuff from the NBA contract news last week but this bundle in theory is super light on NFL, NBA, MLS. Probably pretty robust on CFB. Prob moderate coverage of NHL, which is heavily RSN already. Some of Fox's stuff these days is just garbage, especially their pro "sports". again, we need to see what sub-brands are included (conference channels, ESPN+, ESPN3, the smaller Fox channels, etc).
WBD losing the NBA is a real blow to the deal. Going to be a ton of college sports on it though. Only big loss for it in the college market will be CBS stuff, but you can get that with an antenna.
The platform will include the entirety of the portfolio of live sports rights owned by its parent companies, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, college football and basketball, among others. Venu subscribers will also have access to 14 traditional TV sports networks of its parent companies, including ESPN, ABC, Fox, TNT and TBS, as well as the streaming service ESPN+. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/08/01/venu-sports-streaming-pricing.html
I was able to watch the games in BHM on Bally's the last several seasons. I hope I get to see them next season too.
The price point is illogical. As stated in the article, with that Walmart device offering the same functionality for half the price, why would I buy this Google branded device?
It's supposed to bridge the gap between cheap dongles and the nvidia shield/apple tv that home theater people like
yeah, going mid market between Amazon Firesticks, Onn boxes and the high end ones you listed. Sadly, it won't sell with too much competition there between Fire Cube, Roku Ultra, etc. The console makers are probably entering this pricing class too within the next 12-15 months.
There was nothing wrong with the $50-70 price range of the Chromecast w/ Google TV 4k, often available bundled or discounted.
