YouTubeTV vs. Disney conglomerate
For those with YouTubeTV, as of yesterday the 17th, the Disney group channels are offline. That includes ABC (WMUR), all ESPN channels, and others.
YouTubeTV is dropping the monthly fee by about $15 / month while the dispute is on. I hope the two sides get their stuff together. :coolsm: Dave |
Already looking at FUBO......after loosing NESN earlier and no hope of it being reinstated, this may be the last straw !

I've got to believe they will resolve this somehow soon. If not, they will lose millions of subscribers. We stream most of our viewing from other services. The primary, and almost only reason for having YouTubeTV is for local news, other news, and live sports.
Given local news here is exclusively ABC, and the amount of live sports on ESPN, if it isn't resolved soon, I'll be another one of those moving (along will several other family and friends) |
I agree that it probably get settled but if it does not, we will look at options.
In the mean time, some WMUR options. If you have a ROKU try the NewsON app. The news/weather may be delayed but you can watch it. Also ROKU supports Apple AirPlay. Install the WMUR and ROKU apps on your iPad or iPhone. You can watch the news on WMUR Nowcast and cast it to the ROKU. Setup directions on YouTube. If you have Chrome-cast and an android phone, install the WMUR app and cast using Google Home. Just somewhat cumbersome temporary work-arounds. |
We have YTTV as well. My tv has built in Roku but they don’t have the Boston ABC affiliate available… tried Haystack as well. Not there either. Anyone else with suggestions?

Try NewsOn. They have a few local live stations, unfortunately WMUR is not one of them but you can stream the most recent broadcast.

Stream live from WMUR.com

I brought up WMUR on my Samsung tablet and then used "smart view" to "cast" the news through ROKU to the TV. A little buffering at times, but overall ok. Dave |
Tried FUBO when NESN was dropped. Having a 4 yo, he uses PBS a lot, and FUBO doesn't have that. Wife watches a lot on TBS, FUBO doesn't have that either.
The only other that has NESN is AT&T streaming (Direct TV) and to get NESN it's an extra $20. At Least YTTV was nice enough to drop their price to allow the price for us to go get Disney +, but that doesn't have ESPN, that's an extra price. Kid already was upset that we can't watch Bluey on Disney channel. I said it way back, NESN just needs to build a TV app. I'll pay $5-6/month for that. |

Agreement reached
An agreement had been reached and subscribers will get a one time $15 credit. Details to follow in an email. I went into YTTV on my tablet and got this message.
As of 530pm, they have not flipped the switch. Dave |
Copy of the email below. Looks like I get a credit of $15 for the 2 day disruption. Anyway we lived through it and I learned to cast to Roku from my iPad.

Channels are back
Channels are back but I did have to redo the custom "sort" I had for the channel lineup.
