How to sign up for ESPN plus/select/unlimited
-
@approxinfinity ESPN+ is just the online streaming content. But if you have a cable subscription you can link it and use espn annd espn2 are there.
-
Every commercial break on espn- for this football game has had zero commercials and a sign that says “commercial break”. I guess disney scared all its ad revenue away? Brilliant! Lets pass that loss on to the consumer.

So whatever happened to the Big 12 network???
I’d pay for that if it showed KU games. How much does it cost to produce and air a show?
-
TNT is airing a lot of big 12 games
-
I almost started this thread before the last game. I know one thing… sign up per month because if you do it annually that money is gone! I’m probably going to drop it after this run of games on ESPN+. I say that but I see ESPN and YouTube TV aren’t compatible right now!
-
Is anyone currently using the Hulu Live TV streaming package? It’s got 95 channels (ABC plus all the ESPN’s) and Disney+ and ESPN+. $65 month for 3 months then $85 after that. Which is less than I’m paying now for YouTube TV
-
@nuleafjhawk Yes. But only use it for Ku basketball and Chiefs games. I have no idea about the other channels, I don’t watch live tv if it’s not sports.
As for those games, when paired with peacock and espn+, I think that covers them all. (Maybe paramount+ too)
-
@dylans So, are you happy with what you’re using it for? I’ve been a big proponent of YouTube TV for years, but their prices have climbed steadily and they seem to have these contracts disputes too often. Was it last year or the year before when CBS was on the chopping block with them?
-
And FOX 2 years ago.

I have no complaints. It works for what I need it to do. And the contract is month to month so not much of a commitment.
-
I nuked YouTube TV today (Not literally) and went with Hulu Live Tv/Disney+ and ESPN+ , for the same price as YouTube. I hope it works out. If nothing else I can watch the ESPN channels and ABC
-
@nuleafjhawk Cool! Let us know how that works out. I’m youtube tv. I also do Netflix… would be nice to save a few bucks. I also use Plex. It’s my favorite for movies and most tv programs.
-
@nuleafjhawk LMK what you think. It works adequately for me, but I’m just in it for the sports.
-
Slight update to dispute.
UPDATED with YouTube TV statement. YouTube TV has rejected Disney‘s request to restore ABC for Election Day on Tuesday as a matter of “public interest” while the companies hammer out a carriage renewal.
-
So, I’ve only had the HULU LIVE package for one day, but I think it will work well. It’s got all the same channels (plus or minus a couple of oddballs) , plus it comes with Disney +, ESPN+ (and all the ESPN channels). All that is the same price as what I paid for YT alone.
I’m not a fan of Disney, but as I told one person, I don’t want to cut off my nose to spite my face. The money is coming out of my account, regardless of who’s taking it, and Disney gives me all the channels I want.
The only possible downside is that HULU isn’t formatted the same as YT, but that will just be a matter of using it and getting used to a new style.
-
@nuleafjhawk I don’t like the interface for Hulu tv, but it seems to have the channels I need. Best of luck!
-
Jeez, woke up this morning and the YTTV app simply won’t work. Can’t even log in. Maybe that’s a sign to go in a new direction?
-
@nuleafjhawk If anyone has Verizon cell service, they offer a $10/month access.
-
@Gorilla72 Tell me more, please
-
@nuleafjhawk What I like on youtube tv is the virtual hard drive. Save us much junk as you want without regard to disk space. How does HULU work?
-
@drgnslayr So, I’m not super techno-savvy. That is to say I can operate the remote control well most of the time. I had YT for 7 or 8 years (?) and was pretty familiar with it. From what I understand, I can do the same things with Hulu, but the layout looks different. I believe I read that you can record whatever you like, but it’s only stored for 9 months. Then there’s some sort of re-birth (Sorry. 9 months…)
If anyone has better information, please chime in. I don’t want to be giving out bad Intel.
I guess to summarize - I can watch basically the same things as I did on YT. I also get Disney+ and ESPN+ for the same price as what I paid for YT alone. Now I think I’ll grab a cup of coffee and watch ABC.

@nuleafjhawk - Verizon is my cell carrier. In this area, Tulsa, they offer various perks. We added Netflix/HBO and Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ for $10/mo each. If you have Verizon, the My Verizon site (or app) allows subscription sign up. We sign in via Disney to get the basketball games and Hulu (we don’t particularly care for Disney stuff). Does this help?
-
@Gorilla72 thank you! Is the $10 month thing on Hulu. Hulu Live TV or just the regular Hulu?
-
@nuleafjhawk - It appears to be regular Hulu. I haven’t explored it much because we like to binge watch tv series, and ESPN+. It does not get regular ESPN.
-
@Gorilla72 OK. Great! Thank you very much for your input!
