Fellow YOUtubeTV'rs hear my plea


Jul 15, 2019, 11:40 AM

1. I have been a big advocate for YouTubeTV
2. I went through last football season with them and was very pleased
3. I have hounded them about the ACC network for months.
4. I have done due diligence on all the other streaming options.
5. One unknown reason that I prefer YouTubeTv is the "sharing ability" I now contract in different parts of the country for extended time and usually in up in a short term rental situation. I take a TV and a Roku stick with me and I watch all my local content and get all the channels. My wife is able to use the account at the same time back in TN. I have tried many ways to get around the sharing controls on the other services to no avail.
6. Hence my dilemma, NO ACC network on YouTubeTv...yet? Because we are about thirty days in front of the launch , I have proactively subscribed to...

HULU with their 30 Day free trial! I am emailing a copy of my sign up with HULU to YouTubeTv.! If YouTube comes around and gets the ACC Network. I will simply cancel the HULU account.


Join me in this quest to wake up YouTubeTv. I have already noticed that HULU has improved their user interface, and if not for the sharing issue, I would just stay on Hulu.

I would join you, but I need ABC streamed--Hulu doesn't offer it for my area. If YouTube doesn't pick up the ACCN, I will be forced to switch to PlayStation Vue. Please continue to contact YouTube--I will as well.

Here is a good little comparison

I wonder why you do not have ABC in your area on Hulu? It must be a local broadcasting rights thing. This article implies they have all locals.

Sony Vue versus Hulu Live

They don't carry all locals in all areas. You have to use your zip code to find out what's in your specific area. I did the month free as well and did not have ABC.

WE need to get Peach Bowl Patty to call YouTubeTv and tell them what an irate bunch of Tiger netters can do to a Fax Machine. Blasting emails, just isn't the same as envisioning Patty loading paper and changing Toner for days. To get us in Atlanta for the peach bowl. Wow , how times have changes.

contact YOUtubeTV or your service, not Conference offices.


Jul 15, 2019, 10:10 PM

Conferences do not decide who shows ACCN and all the other ESPN channels, the Companies--cable, streaming or sat. do.
YOu need to contact them.

I just got off the phone with Swofford’s secretary’s voice mail (of course no one in that office is available to talk, imagine that)…I left my name, city/state and phone number for a return call about this new network…I’ll be at the GT game but my family can’t go and doesn’t look like they’ll be able to watch the game…I want some answers as to why this is such a mess…my last word to him was “Have you screwed this up like you have with everything else you touch”…I’m sure he’ll return my call (right)

I just talked to Swofford. He said they are attacking this issue with the same vigor as the 45 minute wait time to get into Bank of America Stadium

This will be Swofford's biggest failure if he doesnt get thi


Jul 15, 2019, 1:31 PM

Swofford had the table set for his sales pitch.

1.Dabo is outshininng the rest of college football right now in media eyes
2.Clemson has been in three of the last 4 national championships
3. He has Duke, UNC, Virginia lighting the basketball world on fire
4. He got his stupid northeast TV markets
5. Has handed to him huge number of inspirational stories about great athletes overcoming obstacles like DW from habitat for humanity to NFL stardom.
6.There is more, but you get the idea.

The table was set for this BOZO. How he hasn't gotten a deal with these other providers is just mind boggling. I wonder if the dufus is holding out for too much. "Penny wise pound foolish"
He is going to mess around and have to negotiate these deals when he doesn't have those 6 bullets to back him up. It was perfect timing to launch this thing , and he has dropped the #### ball.

Exactly!


Jul 15, 2019, 1:43 PM

He's got a sitting national title holder in the conference with a chance for back-to-back championships, and this is the best he can do???

Fire Swofford!! In the meantime, he needs off his butt and get it done!

Doesn't ESPN sometimes show games from the SEC network?


Jul 15, 2019, 1:13 PM

Since this will sort of be the start of the 1st real week of CFB...any chance that ESPN will simulcast with the ACC network?

I would think that is a definte NO. ESPN will instead be running commercials saying contact your cable or streaming provider for the ACCNetwork yada yada yada

I would be shocked if YouTube TV doesn’t pick it up.

Once each carrier sees their numbers drop even just a tad while PSVue and Sling goes up, they’ll add it.

Re: I would be shocked if YouTube TV doesn’t pick it up.

Yes, especially since You Tube TV is so sports-heavy. I'm sitting pat, and wait to see if they add it, even a week after the network launches..

Sling is NOT a realistic competitor with HuluLive , Vue, and YoutubeTV. Sling has no locals, and a horrible interface. Who wants to have to get locals over air and change inputs all the time etc. How about DVR for a local channel game. I do not see Sling as a competitor. The two that will be slugging it out in the end will be YouTubeTV (owned by google) and Hulu (walt Disney/aka ESPN).


YouTubeTV is currently winning the battle , but this will hurt them more than they are thinking.

YouTubeTV is definitely the best--I've tried all of them. I'm holding out until the last minute to switch.
