OT - Another Streaming Tread

[greenbean.sixpack]

I have a buddy who wants to ditch DirectTV for streaming. Catch is, he needs every ESPN option as his family are huge fans of every MSU sport - even baseball at our current level - so he needs all ESPN networks and SEC and SEC+ (which is assume is the same as SEC alternate?).

It looks like Cspire TV may have a tier that satisfies all these requirements, any others?

I tired the search option, but I got returns from all on3 sites, I couldn't figure out to narrow it down to just this board.

Another for Youtube TV. Much better option. Secn+ is the online only sec network

Interesting. I consume ESPN via the app (log in with UVerse credentials) and get SEC+. Didn't realize it didn't come on streaming packages.

Another for YouTube. Get SECN, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU & ESPN News. If it is on ESPN+ or SECN+ you just log in to the ESPN app with your YouTubeTV credentials and can watch there

Yes

This is the correct answer. Although, I recommend avoiding baseball broadcasts.

This.^^^^. I didn’t realize that you could log in to ESPN+ with your YouTube PW for a while, but everything that is broadcast anywhere on an ESPN platform is available. My viewership is the root cause of the collapse of our baseball program yet I can quit watching.

WHAT ABOUT FUBO.TV

 

[WilCoDawg]

A little bit of a rabbit hole, but how come ESPN won’t change their interface? It’s absolutely horrendous. It’s like they want you to peruse every freaking available game whether on demand, live, or upcoming before I find the game I want. They put the “choose by sport/league” way down the line. They could make it so much easier/user-friendly but refuse to since it’s been like that for years.

Concur, I usually just go down to networks and pick SEC+ (or whatever channel).

I think we pay $75ish for CSpire fiber. ATT fiber is currently being installed in my hood, so hopefully, that will keep prices competitive.

I guess that's what keeps me from streaming only. I'm paying $160 total a month for cable and internet. If I do internet only, that would cost me around $93/month. Add just about any streaming service to it and I'm getting substantially less programming for around the same money. In my situation, streaming really isn't worth it.

Are you on Comcast? We had Comcast and the lines got slammed on Friday/Saturday nights. Constant lag when I was gaming. We also had to “renegotiate” every year which was a major pain.

Switched to Cspire fiber as soon as they ran it. It’s $85 per month and is a quality service. Also no negotiating every 12 months. They setup my internet and leave me alone.

Yeah. I'm with Xfinity. I have no complaints other than having to haggle every 24 months. I actually like doing it.

My internet is rock solid. Zero lag gaming. If I ever have a problem, I just restart the hardware and that clears it up.

My only other option is ATT. I'm not in Cspire country.

You can't. This conversation has been had before. ESPN+ is not the same as ESPN3, which includes SECN+.

ESPN+ is a separate subscription which you can either get alone or bundled with Disney+. If a game has ESPN+ beside it, you WON'T get it unless you are paying for that service. Fortunately, most of the games they put on ESPN+ only are the football games against nonconference nobodies like a Jacksonville St., Furman, UT Chattanooga or something similar.

Why so much for internet? I've never paid more than $59/mo. Right now its $55 for fiber 200mbps in Starkville from 4 County Electric. They have 1gbps for $80. You can add a lot of streaming services if you're only paying $55 for internet and be way less than $160

I had MaxSuck up until a few months ago and it was turrible, $59 for "up to 45mbps" but never got more than 21mbps. It went off a lot on its own and almost every morning at 6:30 it would go out, reboot itself, and come back on in about 5 minutes. 4 Counties "FastNet" fiber has been really good so far and its le$$ than the "up to 45mpbs" was and is 200mbps

 

[Cantdoitsal]

Anything but Direct TV or U-Verse. And I'll just leave that there for others to figger out.

$54.95 with Coast Connect plus $73.00 for YouTube (just increased). Still less than AT&T internet and DirecTv. Best thing I've done tv wise is to drop DirecTV.

I'm was in the same boat with MaxxSouth at my place in Starkville, but I found that it was the wifi router that is built into the MaxxSouth cable modem that was the problem. I bought a cheap wifi router off Amazon last year and hooked it to the MaxxSouth modem/router combo and it made a ton of difference.

I have Cspire and is great, but it is way too expensive.

Fiber or the TV service? I've searched online trying to find the price for CSpire TV, but have been unsuccessful.

 

[Jacknut]

My AT&T gigabit fiber is $70/month.

 

[Fedexdog]

Tell you friend to check out Directv Stream

I have Cspire Fiber Internet and Cspire TV. It is all streaming. I have A TV on back porch and garage. It reaches everywhere. The cost for together 252.00 a month. There is a less package, but I wanted SEC and SEC plus channels. I get five streams for that price. It comes with other sport channels like the NFL, but I don't watch those. It is great service, and channels are really clear.

[drexeldog23]

Thanks. That will work but their interface will still suck.
