Direct tv issues

DirecTV is in a dispute with Disney over money. That affects ABC, ESPN/SEC and Disney channels. Hope they settle differences quickly.
Thanks, heck of a time for the $$$ gods to be knocking over their pawns. Been with family all day and doing doctorate work so thought I’d tune in to watch the BC - FSU game only to be greeted with a blank screen we pay way too much $$$ for.
 
They do this every year with the various carriers.

I recently got a new fire stick and it runs Kodi much better, and it’s been very very good for free streaming. It’s kinda silly on how I’m install the right extension but if you’re decent with computers it’s not bad. If you have a newer fire stick you can mail it to me and I’ll do it for $5. F*** Disney.

We're gonna do a 7-day free trial with one of the services that we can get the game on if needed. Hopefully it gets worked out because we like Directv Stream pretty well. Screw Disney/ESPN etc.

I'm not one to care if people sail the high seas, but I'd reconsider the $5. Once you start making money, the courts get a whole lot more aggressive.
 
I'll be doing free trials of various streaming services until they get this shit figured out. Last year ABC was out during College Football season. Now all of the ESPN Network channels.
 
I don't know how or why anyone used anything besides YouTube tv. Ya its costly but still cheaper than cable and way better. The only issue is going there is playing directly into the hands of these massive companies but one is as bad as the next.

Of course the real villain is Disney. They constantly raise the price of espn to these providers to the point where the vast majority of your bill is espn. If any provider dare not agree to their continually more insane price, they drop the provider during college football season which puts massive pressure on the provider to cave making prices go ever upwards.
