ESPN to America: Good luck watching this one, suckers!!

ESPN has a DEDICATED channel to university sports ESPNU, but College baseball is all day today on the main channels. (actually at 1:30, ESPN2 has sports center), but at 3 Tennessee and Evansville are playing.

F1 is pushed off to ESPNU (I think U is really for Undesirable), because they obviously realize they've been duped by liberty...

On the dedicated SKY channel you can watch vettel vs bottas in Alonso's 300th GP where the mclaren lets him down again...

Seems easy on my Tivo:

Qualifying is on ESPN-News and the race on ABC.

 

what about ESPNU?

I don't TiVo. (that still exists?)

so I figured it out.... $15 MORE per month on top of what I'm already paying (which is pretty much now equal to what I was paying with cable) gets me the "sports pack" that adds espnU and espnews. I'm on slingtv...it's been great. if you do the one service with only one of the tiers (they have orange and blue) you actually get different stuff than if you got both tiers.... so getting the tier that carries espn, espn2, espn3 CAN'T be had unless you get BOTH orange and blue ($55/mo) AND add $15 more....so $70/mo...I'd rather spend that on discovery+ (since motortrend+ moved there, and they moved all the live racing to MAX + sports pak...$40/mo)

I'm tapping out.

F1TVPro is $7/mo

sketchy skyf1 stream is free...LOL

seems that for $47/mo I'm back on AND can watch LeMans...

....this is really making me rethink how important any of this really is....

 

In my house we still play records.

That said, Tivo is alive and well. I don't use anything else. The Tivo box is now merely a controller as they store the shows "in the cloud".

 

Same. I might be sneaking up on nearly 500. Realistic LAB-400 with an AT95e. Might swap to the Grado cart to try it.

the other totally irritating thing.... all the Español broadcast is on ESPN3 for free. I would literally rather spend my money on Spanish speaking classes than to give any network another dime...

venting frustration at watching the pattern of having something then having it moved to another service or another tier... it's within their rights, but it's just exhausting as a consumer.

F1TV, worth every penny

 

This - gives access to in car cams and a bunch of other stuff you can't get on TV. Well worth the money. I love watching the start from in-car.

 

What's frustrating with the many ESPN channels and the F1 broadcasts hopping from one to the other is that my Tivo can't keep up with it. I have to manually program these episodes or I'll get women's basketball instead.

 

Can you get any of those features on an Apple TV? I haven't figured out how yet.
