    NO NCAA Football ON TV

    Well thanks to Disney and ESPN We will not see the opening weekend of the NCAA FB. I'll be changing providers on Monday to the Dish and put one of those dam washtubs on my roof. Everyone knows that Spectrum will pass the cost on to the customers. Disney will win. The poor customers will lose. and We will be out more money. What away to get screwed on the first weekend. I have lost all fait in Mickey Mouse.

    Same here, Disney wants more money, Spectrum doesn't want to pay it. It's all good I can watch any and all on the firestick.

    Just get YouTube TV and be done with it. No 'wash tub' to mount and $73 a month. The days of OTA tv are over.

    If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be buying streaming service I would have told you you were nuts. Now I have three and thinking about dropping them. They're pretty good about getting you hooked on a series and then moving it to another service or making you sign up for the next level. Plus they just raised the rates.

    YouTube TV went through the same thing with Disney a couple years ago. This happens every time these major contracts are up. They want the cable companies to pay more, they don’t want to, and this fight happens. It doesn’t matter what service you have.

    Couldn’t you put the dish in your yard not on roof?

    Was my last straw, see ya cable TV. Signed up for YouTubeTV today and will return Spectrum's boxes next week. Unfortunately, still have to pay Spectrum for the internet, but fiber is coming soon. Saving $100/month.

    I'm in the same spot with you , it started last night when Gators were playing , at least I didn't have to watch them get off to another search for a coach . They are so bad all they have for a QB is a transfer from Wisconsin .

    They looked completely unprepared and the offensive line looked worse than AUburn's under Brian Harsin. I was thinking during the game that the AD probably began the search at halftime. Complete embarrassment.

    Inspiration for not following any sports at all except BASS barely. The last straw was when the baseball team I used to stream on my computer started charging for the connection. Free on the radio sitting next to the computer via AM but charged on the stream. The internet is a pay to play suckers paradise. The local fishing website added a fee and the site is a ghost town compared to the activity it used to get. Alexa devise went to pay to play also. I stopped listening to radio during COVId when I had it following a TBI. My sanity was playing retro albums on Alexa. Now you need a pay to play youtube account. No thanks.


    We dumped cable years ago and went to wireless wifi plus antennae. I have a single Roku account and an upgraded streaming stick on the 3 smart TVs we have . We dont have enough hours in the day to use all the channels included for the 15 dollar fee. If I want to see a movie with a fee I pay the 4 dollars.

    I have 13 months before my small cable company is gone, they say due to costs, if you have a couple streaming services they are getting more expensive each year. I am about ready to pull the cords out of the wall no tv what so ever, and just spend more time here

    I pay for 50 Spanish speaking channels, 30 rap music channels, several BET (mostly just "f bombs'). Only sports I watch are a few fishing shows. Give me alacarte. Pay for what you want to watch.
