Was just reading, 6 devices. Looking at the channel lineup, in my area it’s not worth an extra 20 bucks over sling just to get local channels. Will PM you something that may be an idea for you.

Smokesdawg Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm going to attempt to cut Xfinity out of my life completely. We cut cable in October and went to Youtube TV exclusively. We won't go back. My in-laws did the same thing. I love that you can customize your channel lineup and the direct integration with the TV is the best. My LG has a youtube TV app and it works flawlessly. Only one remote to use. HOWEVER, because of that, my usage has gone through the roof. Now Xfinity throws a usage cap starting in January 2021? Garbage. They don't tell anyone and then they throw in a 1.3 TB cap.... between working from home, school from home, streaming everything (including movies in 4k), we blew through our cap by January 22. They gave two months grace period (extended now until July) but will make you pay if you go over. The only way you can get unlimited is if you go to their more expensive plan and get their router. Garbage again. So... we are going to test drive T-mobile home internet. Only $50 per month including fees and taxes. Runs on their 5g network. I'm hoping that we can squeeze enough out that we can still run our devices and stream without much loss. 30 days to try it with their device for free. If it sucks and doesn't work at all, then we will stick with xfinity. 48 minutes ago, mr_hunt said: oh...6 devices total could be an issue. hell, we have 4 tv's in our house that are used regularly....and 3 more that are used every now & then. I'm pretty sure its only 3 devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can connect up to three devices to your YouTube TV subscription at the same time. If you are watching YouTube TV on your phone and TV simultaneously, it counts as two devices in use. While each YouTube TV subscription supports up to six separate accounts, the three device limit still applies at all times, regardless of which account is using the platform.

With Windscribe, they have two Philadelphia servers but one of them doesn't work with Fubo anymore. The other one only registers with Fubo as being in Philadelphia now and then. Right now, it's giving me Ohio local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox)... or maybe it's Florida, I forget which. But, since I used a Philadelphia zip code with Fubo when I signed up, I get NBC Sports Philadelphia and NBC Sports Philadelphia+, regardless of which VPN server I'm using or even if I'm not using the VPN. There's also 'Hotspot VPN', which has (or had) a Philadelphia server. I tried that one about 6 months ago, but I never could get that one to give me a Philadelphia IP address and their Customer Service seemed pretty much clueless. I've been meaning to give them another try, but just haven't gotten around to it. If you do sign up for Windscribe and/or Fubo, use our affiliate links and the board will get a commission, which will be used for keeping the board funded and online. Hunt, like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors have been swirling around for NBCSN’s future for weeks, including a prediction last month that NBC would shut down the channel at some point this year. Locally, there appears to be additional cuts at NBC Sports Philadelphia, which sources said includes Vice President of Content and News Programming Michelle Murray and Vice President of Marketing Cynthia Weiss. Murray has led the newsroom since her arrival 13 years ago and Weiss has been with the regional sports network since its inception 23 year ago.

We switched to that from service electric and haven't missed cable for a second. In fact, we like this better. Saved 40 bucks a month. Have every channel we ever watched. 3 stream limit is just enough. Whats really nice is it knows what you watch so if I turn on my TV it's automatically putting the 6ers pregame show on my face. No need to go through the channel menu to find NBCSN. But if there's not a 6ers game on, it's showing me whatever other NBA game is currently on. I never even need to open up the channel guide. It makes the right suggestions right up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
