Got the same problem here with Nexstar and their NBC station in Austin, it's locked out on DirecTV and I will not get to watch the game Sunday night unless they settle this soon.

It's ridiculous what these networks are trying to pull. And it sucks that these contracts expired right before football season. I suppose, worst case scenario, there's always the sports bar.

Or ignorant.
I experienced can be ignorance.

For some not familiar with those sites if you don't know what to do with it you might get in trouble.

However it is nowhere as bad as it used to be and user's have learned more.

You can get directv streaming and keep Spectrum internet.
I had DirecTv for 6+ years. Every year they kept on increasing their package prices while decreasing their packages. Only reason I kept them for so long was for their NFL Sunday Ticket. Even that was getting too expensive with their prices increasing as well. It's a big reason why DirecTv has been losing business and why the NFL Sunday Ticket is no longer carried by them.

I made the switch to Spectrum two years ago, and it has saved me over $200 / month. I'm not switching back just for Disney and their unwanted politics.

Exactly. If needed, there's a sports bar nearby that is open until 2 am. I can go there if needed.

This is a problem that will persist.

TV viewing has changed and this mix of streaming with little to no advertising dollars is killing the old cable model.
NONE of the streamers are making money.

ESPN, Fox lineup and Local channels are 90% of your cable bill.

Hoping Buffalo Wild keeps its customers happy, that would be the go to place.

Definitely, and I know a bar near where I live that's open until 2 am. I can go there for MNF if needed.

Dangit, CC, you should've called me. Got the Peacock app from a buddy of mine.

ESPN is back for me as of last night, and I'm going to be getting a credit for the time that ESPN was out of service.

Does anyone really believe "Maria" Taylor is actually pregnant? I call BS.

In any event, ESPN won't be around in 3 years...imo.
