Nice, thanks for the update 4pool.

Was thinking about cutting the cord yet again (got suckered in when we bought our house last summer) but I’m looking at my tv and internet bill and can’t believe how much I pay for crappy internet and far too many channels I never watch. Think it’s time to switch providers and get with the times.

When I was in Dallas and cut the cord, probably 5 years ago, I bought a Wineguard digital antenna. I got about 80 local channels. Including a local 24/7 weather channel--good for when those pesky hail storms/tornados approach.

Wineguard supplies all the OEM trucking and RV manufacturers for antennas, so it's quality stuff.

Villa on Sunday - NBCSN - 11:30a

FuboTV announced that it signed a multiyear distribution deal with Disney to bring ESPN to its service, filling in the missing link that could make it one of the best over-the-top live TV streaming services available for sports fans. It was already great for watching the Super Bowl and other live sporting events (especially since it has a free trial). But starting this summer, subscribers to FuboTV’s $54.99 standard subscription plan will get ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN 3, ABC, along with access to many other Disney Television Studios channels.

Here’s the complete list of channels being added to the standard plan:

ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN 3
SEC Network, ACC Network
ABC, ABC News Live
FX, FXX
Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Disney XD
Freeform
National Geographic

And, as I assumed, they are raising their price to $65 per month same as youtube tv.  If I'm picking one to watch football I'm going with Fubo simply because they have Bein sports however I think Youtube tv has the better service.

Virtual MVPD FuboTV has joined YouTube TV, AT&T TV and others this week in raising its monthly rates, despite losing TBS, TNT and other WarnerMedia channels.

The company said that with the recent additions of Animal Planet, Comedy Central, Discovery, Nickelodeon, MTV, Tastemade, TUDN, TV Land and more - as well as the August launch of ESPN and Disney Media Networks (ABC, Disney Channel, Freeform, FX, Nat Geo and many more) - and several regional and local networks, it is adjusting its prices beginning on or after August 1.

FuboTV is increasing the price of its Family bundle from $60/month to $65/month. Existing Standard plan subscribers (which currently pay $55/month) will be automatically moved over to the Family plan. They can opt out but if they do, they will begin paying $60/month for their Standard plan.

“Despite these changes, fuboTV remains the best sports-focused cable TV replacement and, with the addition of ESPN and Disney Media Networks, will offer a market best 43 of the top 50 Nielsen-ranked sports, news and entertainment channels in our base package. In addition to live sports and top shows, fuboTV users will also have access to thousands of hit movies - live and on demand. Additionally, with premium features like 4K streaming, personalized live TV recommendations and recent app updates that integrate live video into the product experience, a fuboTV subscription offers consumers the best value of any other live TV streaming platform,” the company said in a statement.

RELATED: Sports-focused fuboTV finally gets ESPN

At the same time the price increases are kicking in, fuboTV confirmed that TBS, TNT, CNN, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, truTV, HLN, TCM, CNN Español and CNN International are leaving the service’s lineup as of today after the company couldn’t reach terms with WarnerMedia for a new carriage deal.

“We are disappointed that our deal with fuboTV is not being renewed, as we have been working with them and were open to a potential renewal,” AT&T said in a statement.

For a sports-focused streaming service like fuboTV, losing channels like TBS and TNT is significant. Those channels have rights deals with the MLB and NBA, both of which are scheduled to return to play in July.

Ugh. NBCSN is showing a preview of the Premier League Lacrosse season in that time slot, which means this is just a ploy to get two of the largest US fan bases to sign up for Peacock.

Going to be the first game in years that I won't be able to watch.  I'm going to be working so was going to watch it when I get home.  Can't now obviously.

What devices can I stream it on?
For now the "sneak peek" version of Peacock is only available to stream through Comcast's own platforms. That means Xfinity X1 cable customers and Flex streaming customers can watch Peacock on TVs through their X1 box or Flex streaming box.

For the nationwide launch in July, so far Peacock has confirmed support on:

Apple devices: You'll be able to stream the service on apps for the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. You'll be able to sign up for Peacock or upgrade your membership with in-app purchases too. And Apple will also integrate Peacock into its own TV app, which allows you to congregate certain streaming channels together to watch them in one place.

Google devices: Peacock will have support on Google platforms and devices including Android phones and tablets, and Android TV devices, Chromecast and Chromecast built-in devices. People who sign up through Android and Android TV also get free access to Peacock Premium until Oct. 15; after that trial period ends, Peacock Premium costs $4.99 per month with ads or $9.99 a month ad-free.

Xbox One consoles: Microsoft's Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One S and Xbox One X, will have an app for Peacock, and the service itself will be available for download through the Microsoft Store. You can also sign up for or upgrade Peach directly within the Peacock app on Xbox devices using in-app purchase.
Vizio SmartCast TVs
LG Smart TVs

So far, Peacock doesn't have a deal for its app to be distributed on Roku or Amazon Fire TV devices. Strauss, the executive in charge of Peacock, said that Peacock will launch on Wednesday regardless of whether those deals come through, but he reiterated that Peacock wants to be widely supported.

[4pool]

How much will Peacock cost?

Peacock will have three tiers: a limited one that's free, an all-inclusive one that's $4.99 a month with ads and an all-inclusive one that's $9.99 a month without ads.

The free tier limits how much you can watch. For example, Peacock planned to offer only select episodes of its originals free, withholding the rest inside its paywall. This limited free tier was planned to have access to roughly half of Peacock's total catalog of movies, current season TV, TV classics, curated daily news, sports, Hispanic programming and Peacock streaming channels.

Both paid tiers are called Peacock Premium, basically an all-access pass to everything on the service. That means about 20,000 hours of content. Peacock Premium is $4.99 a month or $50 a year with advertising, or you can upgrade to an ad-free version for $9.99 a month or $100 a year.

The tiers with advertising are supposed to have no more than five minutes of commercials per hour.

After launch, Peacock will offer a seven-day free trial standard for any new signups to either premium tier.

If you preorder a year of the service before launch on Wednesday, you can save $20 on an annual subscription. Preordering a year of the service with ads costs $30; preordering an ad-free annual subscription costs $80.

If you sign up for the service through its Android app or another Google platform, Peacock is offering an extended free trial until Oct. 15. This free trial is for the ad-supported level of Peacock Premium until Oct. 15, at which point you'll be charged the normal $4.99-a-month rate.

And other people can score discounts that cut the cost of Peacock if they're already customers of certain cable companies. Peacock will continue to give Comcast X1 and Flex subscribers the Premium version of the service at a $5 discount. So, if they want to watch with advertising, they pay nothing for Peacock Premium; if they want to watch ad-free, they need to pay $4.99 a month.

Cox customers also get that $5-off deal. Peacock has said it's working on partnerships to offer this discount to a wider array of consumers.

These customers can also upgrade to watch Peacock ad-free by paying $5 a month.

Champions League TV schedule and streaming links

In the United States, CBS Sports have the exclusive English-language rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup for the remainder of the 2019/20 season through until the end of the 2023/24 season. In total, it’ll be more than four full seasons of coverage.

Champions League TV schedule

Spanish-language rights have been acquired by Univision Deportes (TUDN), which will run until the end of the 2023/24 season.

For the Champions League, every single game will be streamed exclusively through the streaming service CBS All Access, which offers a 7-day free trial and is $6/month after that. Read our CBS All Access FAQ for more info. Select TV games will air on CBS and/or CBS Sports Network.

A viable alternative is to consider watching Champions League games on Univision where many of the games will be shown on television in Spanish, which are streamed via fuboTV.
--------------------------

So once again there will be three different broadcasters doing our matches for next season.

NBCSN-Peacock tv for League matches.

CBS Sports. CBS Sports Network,  and CBS All Access for Champions League.

ESPN+ for FA Cup and League Cup.

[Brian Blessed]

Signed up also. Until it's on Firestick I'll be plugging the laptop into the TV. Already tried it, it's good quality. I think it's also going to be on PlayStation from Monday.

Same here.

Using old laptop, HDMI cable to tv.

Would use firestick when Peacock gets on there.

[Chakan]

You have to sign up to watch todays game right?

[kevinbrodie]

I need some help. Getting ready for the peacock game today. I'm just trying to watch for free today and sign up later. I think at this moment Premier League LIve is on. Does anyone know where I find it on the app? is under channels? sports?  I feel old

[kevinbrodie]

I figured it out. While this is painful remember the days when Fox Sports (plus) was like $14.95 a month...

I need to figure all this out by next season.

I just did it. It is very easy.

Download the app then look on Channels in the app.

[AndyInVA]

I dumped my cable a while ago and went with Youtube TV.

So far very happy with it. Acts like a DVR and a TV delivery system with live sport.

[AndyInVA]

Looks like some high school won a competition to replace Rebecca Lowe for the day.

[4pool]

I didn't download an ap. Don't plan on using my phone to watch us play.

Used my older laptop and just got on their website and at the top was a tab for channels. Clicked on that. About 5-10 minutes before coverage started I clicked on the "channel" for the match. I got a "will start soon" or some such. At Noon..it came on.

It took me a minute to figure out how to scroll down the "channel" page to figure out where to go as I didn't see the channels that were below the page itself.

But figured it out..just..

Video quality and sound were fine.

You knew it was coming.

NBC are advertising Peacock tv will be the home of the Premier League for next season. So those with NBC Gold will need to switch.

One can only hope that NBC runs the $29.99 deal for a season again before the League starts up in September. Otherwise it's $49.99 for a season.

Is it possible to watch Peacock on an actual TV rather than on a laptop or phone?  When I search for the Peacock app on my TV I get no result.  Don't know if its because my TV is a Samsung or if that matters.

I suspect you'd have to download the Peacocktv Ap from Wifi directly to your tv. If you can.

I use home Wifi and an old Windows 10 laptop and HDMI cable to watch for now.

I have  a 4k firestick but they have not added the Peacocktv Ap yet. I'll use that when available.

LG Smart TVs

Peacock will add device support after launch for:

Sony PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro consoles, starting sometime next week

So far, Peacock doesn't have a deal for its app to be distributed on Roku or Amazon Fire TV devices.

Roku and Amazon Fire TV products, like its Firestick, are the most popular ways to stream on televisions in the US. Together, the two companies' streaming devices and smart TVs make up 70% of all the streaming devices installed in the US last year, and they reach roughly 80 million active users between them.

But rather than serving as neutral platforms for apps, Roku and Amazon both have become more assertive in their talks with new streaming services lately, and media companies are more invested in reaping the most reward possible from their products, leading to impasses.

Peacock failing to launch with Roku and Fire TV is a repeat of HBO Max's rollout in May. Failing to reach their own distribution deals, HBO Max is still missing from Roku and Fire TV more than a month after launch, with no news about progress since.

As recently as Tuesday, Peacock said that remains in talks with additional partners.

"The Peacock app is ready to launch across platforms with the flip of a switch," a Peacock spokeswoman said. "We think it's important for consumers to know that Peacock is free to use and free to any platform who wants to distribute it. If Peacock is not available on a platform at launch, it is not because we didn't make it available, and it's not because we didn't make it available for free. Consumers have purchased these devices with the expectation they will be able to access all of the apps, so our hope is that all platforms will do right by their users and carry it."

Roku said it wants to bring Peacock to its "large customer base of avid streamers" but that it was "disappointing" Comcast "refused reasonable and standard industry terms." Roku said Peacock was trying to launch a service supported by advertising without sharing the ad model with its distribution partners.

"This shows a basic misunderstanding of what drives success in today's modern streaming world, where successful publishers collaborate on advertising and achieve strong results by leaning into the unique tools we offer," Roku said in a statement.

Amazon declined to comment.
