YouTube TV Getting Ability to Split Into 4 Screens

No, none of the Hulu bundles include Max/ESPN/D+/Hulu together. There also isn't a Hulu Live + Max bundle
I’m sure the Sinclair CEO’s concerns are right at the top of Disney’s priorities list.
Edit: here is an article about the Sinclair CEO’s comments
I get why he’s upset, but I’m not sure that it’s the issue that he’s claiming it is.
Yeah, I can see it if the companies don’t back down. That’s probably why it hasn’t happened before.
didnt realize i already had the disney+ bundle with hulu and espn (select) so i was already lining the pockets of those dicks.
yes.
You need ESPN unlimited if you want to watch games on abc/espn/espn2 etc without a subscription to another service.
I haven't had ESPN for several years and haven't really needed it since they moved away from Big 10 games. Also don't have youtube tv. We do have an antennae for the local channels (with an old tivo to record things) and we pay for hulu and disney plus (young kids) each month and will rotate between other streamers when necessary.
Only sports we pay for is the redzone channel, otherwise if it's not on over the air channels we don't get it.
ESPN isn't the good guy here but neither is google. These tv providers better be careful. They've already damaged the golden goose fatally, things like this will only hasten the demise. More and more the middlemen (cable providers) are being removed and the companies making the content are selling it themselves.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. May have to take Max on its own to make it work out.
If you have Verizon for phone service, you can get Netflix and Max as a combined add-on for $10 per month total for both. Definitely a money saver.

Just did the math, and if I go with Hulu Live, Disney+, ESPN Select and HBO on its own, I'd be paying about the same amount as I do for YTTV and Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max bundle (maybe $2 less) (my Max bundle right now is locked in at $19.99).
Rumor that YTTV is trying to “be our friend” :
I went with bundling the ESPN ultimate with Hulu and Disney with the NFL Redzone add on. Then went with Max as a standalone because you can’t get the 4 stream Max option in the bundle. And if ISU is playing, it’ll be on several screens around the house and at my mom’s. Only question is how much Disney and Max are going to crack down on account sharing. YTTV didn’t seem to care as long as I had the 4K option with unlimited screens at home.
I’ve found getting the antenna above the tree line is very important. Those things tend to block signals bigly.
I hope YTTV plays hardball. People forget that ESPN did this same thing with Spectrum last year, Directv in the last few years, etc. YTTV has enough FU money to let this play out. If I was YTTV, I'd start running ads calling them out.
This is so freaking confusing! So the Sling one day pass does not include ESPNU. In other words, to watch the Miss State game on ESPNU on Monday, I'll need to do the fubo free trial?
