Streaming, SlingTv, Recording, and other ass play
One of the features that sling used to have included was cloud dvr. I could record a game I wanted to see and then watch it at my leisure. Sometimes the dvr would let me skip commercials, sometimes it wouldn't. If it was really FS it would force me to sit through the whole broadcast without any fast forward or rewind ability. That doesn't sound bad except that it's liable to drop your recording and force you to watch everything all over again. At least I could watch what I wanted on a recording though. They have since made that feature an additional $5 a month add-on and buried in the fine print is that all ESPN live broadcasts can't be recorded essentially rendering it useless.
I'm obviously not above finding a recording on youtube or through a reddit link but as we all know that's all hit or miss. It's also not great if you don't want to know the outcome ahead of time.
Just wondering what everyone else's set ups look like and what the work arounds might look like to be able to watch live & record our Dwags.
Ironically, when I lived overseas this was actually simpler and easier except for the part about being up at 330am for a live broadcast from the West coast. I'm considering a VPN with a DVR box set up but I'm not sure how complicated that gets. I used to use a jailbroken fire stick before the days of PAC12 network availability but I had to constantly update the software and search for new links/broadcasts just to be able to maybe watch a shitty stream bc no one gave a shit about PAC12 football.
TIA for you knowledge.

Move to China. Problem solved.

Here's my setup:
DirecTV top package - I get fucking everything except stuff from China (read: Pac12 Networks) and can watch everything from my phone or my son's iPad (I hate those fucking things so only use it because your recorded stuff doesn't really translate to a browser login the way you'd think).
Roku Ultra - apps and stuff.
Sling Orange with Sports add-on - I can DVR the Pac12, but not ESPN, but since I have Directv I don't really care about that.
I pay a lot for TV.

I watched the Beastquake happen at like 4am? while living in South Africa. I paid $2.00 american to some sketchy but very user friendly and high broadcast quality Chinese website to watch the game. I have no idea where that money went but was happy with the product.Swaye said:Move to China. Problem solved.
That's the fucked up thing, if you are living overseas you can pretty much just purchase a "sports package" to watch all of this shit via a streaming website. Only in the US does it seem to be this complicated to simply watch a team play sports. -

DirecTV and ATT gets you everything but Pac 12 Football TV and frankly, I don't care. You get the satellite and the online. You can sign into the content provider if it isn't on watch live TV on the DTV website
Its old school with a new school twist
And they have an online library now -
I have Xfinity and don't have to deal with any of that bullshit that you guys are talking about and just watch football.

yes and you can also watch games on the ESPN app and Watch ESPN app from your phone/ipad too.RaceBannon said:

Lots of good tv options out there...

I'm not a pour but I really have zero use for DirectTv or another cable package outside of watching live sportsball. Can't really justify the additional cost for a full package especially for a full year for something that I'm only watching seasonally.Meek said:

I use the foxsports go app, watch espn app, and the pac 12 app on my phone or laptop.

I have Sling with ESPN, FS1, etc. I get local channels over the air, except ABC (which sucks, you can sometimes pick these games up on ESPN3). But I've noticed that Sling also has games blacked out on FS1 sometimes. Definitely not ideal, but less than half the cost of DirecTV, even with Sho and HBO.

Did you check with Bill Fleenor?UW_Doog_Bot said:So I have been ponying up for slingtv for two years now to be able to receive out-of-region PAC12 content and because I don't have some ridiculous cable package. It's ok, not great, not good, but ok. I can login from work, my phone, or home and watch football. So long as it's on either the Pac12 or an ESPN channel... no local broadcasts and no Fox Sports etc. I've got an antenna that works alright on my TV at home for local broadcasts in a pinch though reception can be spotty depending on the network. Any FS1 broadcasts mean I'm headed to the bar or my parents house.

Fuck - people and their fucking TV. Just get Dish, pay $200 a month and you can watch anything, anywhere, anytime. All these fucking setups with different devices, apps, logins, fees. JFC.

Anyone get internet through Dish as well? What's the Dish sports bundle like? Can I watch shit from other devices online or no? Also, who has the coldest beer in town?
I am actually curious now. TIA. -
Never tried Dish interwebz, but heard it sucks. Heard it from a drunk meth head though, so YMMV.UW_Doog_Bot said:Swaye said:

I don't stream out from my Hopper. Again, living in the boonies, my internet options are limited and terrible, so upload speeds just aren't enough. Howsoever, you're Dish login credentials let you get ESPN, P12, Fox Sports, etc. streaming services. I watch bowel games at work on ESPN Watch via my Dish login.Swaye said:

It looks like YoutubeTV is the shit for only $40 a month. All sports broadcasts both regional and local. Free unlimited cloud DVR. 6 accounts per membership. Can access from any device anywhere with your login. Can also add other media/movies/sports like pay per view with a simple purchase.
Except Pac12 Networks doesn't have a deal done with them.

It’s really not that hard axe a fren for their tv login and password. You can use the networks streaming services.

I hate money so I'm paying for both, but YouTubeTV really is the best streaming service right now. If they got a deal with P12N then I'd drop Sling in a second.UW_Doog_Bot said:It looks like YoutubeTV is the shit for only $40 a month. All sports broadcasts both regional and local.
