    My gigabit is a total of $75/mo so take the value with a grain of salt, but I’ve definitely multi-boxed 10 CFB games with it so it’s nice. Doesn’t disrupt anyone else on the network either.

    Is the consensus YouTube is the best replacement for Vue for CFB fans?

    I forgot that Disney+ was only 6.99 a month

    for some reason I thought it was gonna be closer to Netflix’s outrageous price

    I would have still paid it though obviously

    Let us know if you find out how to sign up for this. It didn't look like there was a way yet when I looked the other day.

    It’s right on the Disney plus site. Go there like you are signing up and select 6.99/month.

    Says on there this does not include ESPN+/Hulu which will be available for 12.99 a month on November 12th.

    Anybody know how to get the Fox Sports Regional channels? Have hulu live tv at the moment, but they won't give me any of the FS regional channels besides the one that I'm in (South). Looking to get FS southwest and some of the others.

    I believe YTTV only provides the local one, not ALL of them like I used to have years ago with a $150 AT&T Uverse package.

    Does anyone else have an issue of YTTV lowering in picture quality from time to time? Was watching two different basketball games on different channels and it would go down to 720 or something for 10-12 seconds every once in a while.

    Not YTTV but I have that happen with Netflix occasionally. Always assume it's a brief internet speed or connectivity lapse. Doesn't happen too much though.

    I just did this today. Cut cable and apparently a land line I still had and saved $160

    Only complaint about YTTV is fast forwarding through commercials using the app is a pain. 15s chunks isn't enough

    YouTube TV has been fucking up quite a bit recently. Probably going to cancel after the new year since I can get NFL over the antenna

    Turning in my rented cable modem in favor of my own. Recommendations for a decently cheap router that can handle 200mbps?

    edit: need about 1300 sq ft of coverage, cape cod with lots of walls.

    So I fucked up and let my psvue sub lapse bc my auto renew was tied to a credit card I lost last month and now they aren’t allowing new subscribers. I was using psvue bc it had nfl network and the redzone channel. Is currently my only other option to get these channels to get sling blue and orange and combine that with a hd antennae?

    I think some of the TP-Link routers get really good reviews & are usually under $100 on Amazon

    It's weird, I really only have buffering issues with the sports channels, but the quality will go down, and back up, occasionally on other channels without buffering.

    For the YTTVers, Walmart is selling $100 Google play gift cards for $73. Extra 5% on some CCs too.

    I use Roku and to go to the last channel you just hit down twice then OK. Takes less than a second.

    On fire down twice will show network icons and you can see what’s on those networks. Kind of nice to see on football saturdays
