    Went to try and take a screenshot to share with friends and it was just a black screen with a white box :laugh:

    but it does work well.

    I ran into this last week when trying to screenshot something too and then Googled to find out you can't do that on many or most TV mobile apps because of copyright bullshit or whatever, lame

    What are the main differences between Youtube TV and FUBO besides Bally's.

    I have a 30 day free trial to Fubo and a 21 day for Youtube TV.

    Cable is getting cut tomorrow morning.

    I only tired fubo once for an ND football game but from what I could tell, yttv has more that comes part of the base package (multi view, etc). I’d check out both for sure

    YTTV has better app and player support for sure. I think they are similarly priced.

    YTTV probably has better quality video. Seems like every possible add-on is available via YTTV, except like you said, Bally.

    I'm gonna start off with Youtube TV's free trial and see what I can do about Bally's.

    I'm still a 1080p guy so....idk we'll see.

    One major thing that used to be a big difference between YTTV and everyone else was the DVR too. DVR with YTTV base price is unlimited storage and all recordings are kept for 9 months.

    It's been 6+ months since I really checked the market on all that though so not sure what others offer in that aspect nowadays

    Fubo has none of the turner channels if that’s a factor

    Pluto TV is kinda nice so far

    They offer a lot of free channels

    Watched Death Proof, Planet Terror, Taxi to the Dark Side, and Donnie Darko on there recently

    And as stupid as it sounds, I kind of missed joining in on movies that had already started. Feels like less of a commitment

    The cable has been officially cut!

    I made sure and had everything installed and working before calling ATT and cancelling. They were in total spin mode trying to offer me stuff to come back. I said hey, the shit's all hooked, this is the last step. blah blah blah blah and it's finally cancelled.

    For streaming services, Astros are only available on fubo….which doesn’t get any of the turner networks, so I essentially have to get yttv for half the year and fubo for half the year if I want to see nba and Astros. It’s all getting unnecessary, especially as their costs increase and quality and offerings don’t.

    Ahh MLB media rights is a bitch and throws such an unnecessary wrench into the equation. So stupid how they treat their fans. It's nice not having to worry about all that as someone who doesn't follow MLB anymore.

    With that said, they should let us build whatever arrangement we want, not just prefiltered ones.

    I'm curious what the hang up is. It's definitely possible since Fubo has had it for years.

    It's so frustrating that my only way to watch the team that's close enough to my house that I can hear the home run fireworks is using my dad's cable password on their shit app.
