Cord cutting options
- Thread starter Cyforce
- Start date
The same reason ESPN/2/U/News aren't part of ESPN+. They can't break contracts with carriers who've paid them for those channels
Anyone else see where YTTV may cut CBS and 22 other channels? Started watching Hollywood Squares and it came up at the bottom of the screen.
They're not cutting anything. Paramount is renegotiating its carriage contract with YTTV
I’d be surprised if it happens. This is just YTTV getting out ahead of it in case there is a short hiatus.
I believe it's possible to watch live CBS Sports Network as an app (at least on my android phone) for free.
You have to have to sign in with your provider to access CBS sports network on the CBS sports app.
Cable providers used to pull this bs too. Usually the networks would threaten before something big like the Olympics. Use it as a bargaining chip. They'd get their higher fee, the cable company would use that as an excuse to raise your rates.

Odd.. I watched a game earlier this year and was switching back and forth on the Tech/ASU game right now until the moment you mention I need to log in with a provider.
My work around was to sign in with a code from my friends YouTube TV when she was over. Worked great butt the problem with CBS sports app is that you have to sign in every time you try to access CBS sports network. It doesn't save "borrowed" information like ESPN or Fox sports app does.
Seems they are back to first base.

Then right after March Madness there will be a rate hike
That’ll just move up my cancel for the summer date. Was thinking of keeping it through the NHL playoffs, but another rate increase will leave me questioning that decision.
One shining moment is your cue to cancel YTTV. It's now as expensive as DirecTV was when I left it 10 years ago.
I have Metronet and YTTV and both are still cheaper than internet and cable with Mediacom.
