Be careful. CBS shows On Demand tend not to stick around too long. So, make sure you keep up with it, and don’t wait too long to watch them.

Re: Cord cutting - what service to buy after the cable co goes away
Bumping this thread because I wanted to waste virtual ink to b*tch about first world problems like the extra macro-blocking cable companies do to their channels on TV. Holy hell is the Hawks/Canes game today on NBCSportsChicago trash. So glad I'm a fan of out-of-market teams and can stream them via NHLtv.

Already insane, UAA making it worse
One of the rumors for the next MLS TV contract is that teams have been told not to sell local TV rights because they want all the non-National games to go to a streaming service like ESPN+ to avoid problems like that.

A sad day. It is (soon to be was) THE sports fan's dream.
ESPN, 2, U, News, and channel spots for 3 to watch random D2 and FCS games.
FS1, 2, local, local plus
ACC, BTN, SEC
The only platform with MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL
CBSSN, NBCSN, Golf, Olympic, and they recently moved BeIn Sports to the regular tier.
All the Turner stations for March Madness
I didn't even get to use BeIn for road USMNT World Cup qualifiers

Looks like I'll be headed to YouTube TV, but they don't have the NHL Network.

Nor ESPN3. Because of that, I'm about to drop them to go to Hulu Live. Which is $5 cheaper, so I could tack on ESPN+ and end up with more for the same price.
P.S. A lot of (the good) streaming services do not have the NFL or NHL networks.

NHL Network is owned by Comcast.
It was on ATT's UVerse service initially, but was quickly removed after Comcast bought NBC Universal.

Cruel. My PS4 just listed a bunch of Disney+ shows that I could watch, including the Mandalorian, Captain Marvel, Endgame some Jeff Goldblum show...but when I tried to open the file "This content cannot be selected at this time"
Damm you Sony!
Oh well. 10 hours and 41 minutes to go.

ESPN3 is now back on YouTube TV. Just after I switched to Hulu... Well, I can always go back. That's the advantage of no contracts. Plus, the ability to pause your account, so if you go back, you don't lose prior recordings and settings.

It appears my Apple TV Generation 3 has finally hit the end of it's useful life. It did not get an update to allow it to access Disney+, and the Disney apps that were pre-loaded have stopped working.
Looks like I need to put the newest Apple TV on my Christmas list.

Re: Cord cutting - what service to buy after the cable co goes away
Getting a new Roku smart TV this week and cancelling my cable subscription. I have ESPN+, which shows some college hockey but mainly just ECAC games that I am only moderately interested in. My favorite team is Minnesota, but I also try to watch as much as I can of the other Big Ten teams. Is there any kind of package similar to ESPN+ that will get me access to Big Ten games? If not, I know I can pick up BTN and FSN North on either YouTubeTV or Hulu Live. But if I can avoid having a subscription to a full channel lineup that would be better.

Disney+ will move up two of the Marvel shows to this year. Falcon and Winter Soldier is being released in August and WandaVision shortly thereafter. Season two of the Mandalorian will still be released in November. The seventh and final season of the Star Wars animated series Clone Wars drops in February.

Disney+ also updating the app soon to correct the order of shows appearing within series to correspond to release-date order rather than file upload date. I've not paid close enough attention to this to take note of the correct order of any show I've watched. Outside of it being in the correct season, it's not like there's a continuity point for The Simpson's (Who Killed Mr. Burns notwithstanding).
