True, but the good thing with cord cutting is you can cancel your service at any time without a fee.
Dish Dropped Disney Last Niight
- Thread starter boone7247
- Start date
I have Sling Orange, which has the Disney/ESPN stuff, and they are gone for now. In the interim, Sling is giving free access to Sling Blue, which has FS1 and NFL Network, and some other stuff not on Orange.
No biggie for me personally. It's, going to be a beautiful, cooler fall weekend here, so I wasn't planning to be inside much anyway. Plenty of FB on OTA. I hate the crap that the content providers pull bundling all their stuff together to subsidize their crap channels, so I generally support cable/streaming companies in these matters...

Posted in another thread but got my 65 year old parents setup with YTTV after having DirectTV for 20+ years and they love it. If they can figure out online streaming in a small Iowa town - anyone can.
I'll do the free trial to a streaming service if they don't figure it out by 2:30.
This gives me an excuse to try Fox Big Noon Kickoff and see if I can replace ESPN on my Saturday mornings.

Yeah feel bad for them. Going to have a rough day for sure. Put in a terrible position that is totally out of their control.
Negative, game is on ESPN2 and you need a "cable provider" to be able to watch that channel on the app.
I do think content providers are an issue but Dish is really bad about this. They dropped all of the RSNs a number of years ago. Any service that is going to drop the Disney stuff is also the responsible party. If live sports were not a thing a lot more people would have dropped and gone to streaming. Increased prices are bad for customer retention but not having the few remaining items that people care about is even worse.
Crap. Besides going to a local watering hole any suggestions on a streaming service I can sign up for and cancel later that has ESPN?
Pretty sure YoutubeTV has a free 7 day trial. Hulu & Fubo may as well. Should get the game with all 3 of those services.
I can't give you much advice. I stream ESPN+ on my Apple TV box then use a family members DirectTV signon to stream the normal ESPN channels.
Of course the first time I ever watch it they're in Iowa City. *puke*
So we have Dish and the Disney plus bundle with ESPN+ and Hulu. Should be ok? I think I could watch whatever US Open match I wanted though ESPN+ on Hulu without logging into cable provider. And we just got Game Show Network back recently so I thought I was all in the clear.
Husband still asleep right in front of the TV or I would check it out.

We used the 7 day free trial on Fubo to watch the Iowa game since I didn’t have Big 10 network. You can do the free trial to watch the game today and remember to cancel it before the 7 days is up. I’m in the same boat as I have Sling and woke up to no ESPN
Thanks for this warning. Think I will do yard work this morning, had started watching instead of Game Day.
Well just signed up for a free 21 day trial of YouTube TV

No, you won’t be able to watch regular ESPN/ESPN2
I would entertain dropping Dish if we didn't have so much content saved on our DVR. Guessing there is probably some way to record it digitally record it somewhere but don't have the time these days to put that kind of effort into it.
Last Friday I switched from Dish to Hulu live plus. My timing couldn’t have been better.
