I thought I read somewhere that Youtube slowing down the vids was not actually happening. I've been using AdBlock plus, never had any slowdowns. It doesn't block commercials on YT but it does basically skip straight to the end of them.Quote:

We lost all ability to watch baseball when we decided to cut cable.
I can watch anything else I want to see though. I am watching 6 Nations Rugby now on Peacock. I used to have to pirate it through a VPN. I watch Premier league all the time on Peacock. If I miss a game, I can watch replays.
All together, it has been a lot better. I do find it getting more and more expensive though. Something I warned my wife about when we did it. Kinda saw this coming.
A $200 or $500 flat fee to watch sports. They can piss off.
Thanks, ROKU on a non-smart TV says an ad-blocker is not in the cards.Quote:

Also, would be interested if anyone comes across a compelling deal on ESPN+. (I've seen the $20 off/$99/year one.)
Posted the Hulu/Disney+ deal there as well, thx.
Same here. When I was about five our television pooped the bed and the ‘rents didn’t replace it for like three years. Instead I was given books and all kinds of science project stuff to play with. Great time, learned a lot of cool stuff, didn’t miss TV.Quote:

I always buy the $20 a year Peacock subscription on Black Friday. It's only for first time subscribers though not renewals, so the next year I just add my.email+peacock1@gmail.com. Anything after the + doesn't matter to gmail, but peacock reads it as a different account and I just change one number in my login and am good for the next year.Quote:

I don't know which sports channel you specifically are talking about. There was I believe NE Sports Network Channel (maybe was Bally's owned?)- but streaming of it according to searches mention: "For one, most streaming services don't carry NESN — and yes, that sadly includes fan favorites like Hulu and Sling. So, what's a die-hard New England sports fan to do? You'll want to shift your gaze to services like DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo. Both of these options carry NESN, along with a treasure trove of other channels that are essential for fall sports lovers."Quote:

Do not forget to turn off auto renewal so you can decide to keep it (they renew at of course a higher month rate for the full year #2, etc.)...
Specifically NBC Sports Boston channel. It's part of the line up for my area on Xfinity (duh, Comcast owns NBC), YouTube TV, Hulu live TV, etc. it carries almost all of the Celtics games up until I think 2nd round of the playoffs. It even carries the games when there's a local blackout if the game is on a national channel. Getting this as cheap as possible is my Holy Grail of streaming.Quote:

Also available on Fubo in SWNH. We get the Boston channels down here.Quote:

Anyone with the top Peacock package who can tell me if they have NBC Sports Boston? I can't figure out from the website if it's included. It just says local NBC station.
Not all the races, but some are there live. They had the 2nd run of the Killington women's GS today on, showing most of the racers and then the award ceremony. They may did not had the 1st run- an earlier start- 10:00 am and then 1:00 pm for the second run. Tomorrow they show same schedule- 10:00 am for first Slalom run, 1:00 pm for the second.Quote:

Check and see if Peacock is running any trials. They were for a while but then they stopped for a while also when they had big sports events so people would not be able to trial and then never pay and see the events.Quote:

Didn't know that gmail trick, good to know. This year I finally got wise and jumped on the hulu/disney+ deal. Switched from my email to Mrs. DJSapp's email. Will do it again next year, might try the + thing for shits and giggles.Quote:

Google and Gmail also allows periods and ignores them anywhere in the left side. So as an example if you email address is JohnDoe at gmail.com you can use john.doe at and some think that is another different email address. Then you do j.ohndoe@ and jo.hndoe etc if the site or service you are using is thinking it is a different site.Quote:

FUCKING IOS/TGR-APP
[YoutubeTV is going up $10 to $82.99/mo]
That’s my threshold. I’m gonna cancel.
But I’m gonna miss live sports & the traditional big games & playoff runs
So, what’s a cheaper if not quite as good option for sports access?
Fuck Amazon Prime to the fucking moon. Everything has fucking commercials, even the shit that's included. Get fucked Bezos.
Ya. Im realizing that we don't really use most of it. I watch some basketball. During the regular season, that means NBC Sports Boston for the Celtics. I also need TBS, TNT, CBS, ESPN. The NBA channel adds a few games. My wife watches MSNBC and CNN, usually on her phone. I have the Hulu, Disney, ESPN+ bundle. I occasionally watch a local channel. We have Netflix, Apple TV+, and Prime. It's getting out of hand.Quote:

You can't get it to show you the option on the web if you have the Hulu triple bundle and want to keep your same login.
I'm in the same spot.Quote:

It was for a bit but then we all bought in and dropped cable and are fully invested so the providers have the juice to change the rules.Quote:

I do find it annoying that you can't get everything you want from one stream service. Like the game tonight being on prime is annoying AF to me. And now he's getting hoops games next yr. Bezos is a power hungry cunt who flies under the radar because he's slightly smarter than Musk, but he's the same dick.
