Cable (cord) cut...

[Neal]

I've been lucky with CG's with cable and some areas OTA is sufficient to watch games too. I'll have to see how things go as I still have to figure out college football but locals will typically suffice, assuming I can get OTA or cable.

I may need to pony up for YouTube TV for the season.

I did it - signed up for YouTube TV. Can't miss my games. So far enjoying it.

I will likely keep NFL+ for the season. I really like how you can watch any game. I've had many times where I can't watch my team as they are out of my local area's broadcasting. We'll see how this works after the season officially starts.

@Neal, wanted to verify...with NFL+ you can watch out-of-market Preseason games. What is your understanding of the ability to watch out-of-market live regular season games? I have heard that DirecTV still has that locked up for one more year then it may transition to Apple TV. What say you?

 

[Neal]

Based on the verbiage I am thinking it's a no. Will have to wait and see.

Good luck! Following your experience.

I'm enjoying YouTube TV, watching Football at the moment but what I like about this new way of TV is I'm not tied to a TV! I'm at my computer catching up and my iPad is to the left with the game on. I think we are entering an era where SAT and CABLE are going to be the VCR's of the past. I didn't see the value in YouTube early on, it turned into a gold mine and now people dub it "YouTube University" as it's such a great resource for learning too. YouTube TV will learn what you watch and suggest what's on for you which is nice. The picture is great. I am lucky to have several unlimited Internet plans (AT&T, Verizon, and Starlink).

I have an antenna and a Roku or Firestick in the home and in the RV.
I dropped cable over two years ago.

@Neal, have you had an opportunity to "record" any shows? If so, have you been able to fast-forward through commercials or does YouTube TV force you to sit through them?

No, haven't tried that yet.

We record shows all the time. It’s a great feature of YT TV. The answer is it depends on the age of the show is what I see. A show I watch got recorded last night and I could not fast forward. On Saturday night, I watched a different recorded show that was recorded over a week ago and could fast forward through it.
