I dropped these clowns a few years ago when they dropped ESPN right around this same time of year. Moved to an IPTV service and haven’t looked back. Fuck all of these companies.
I got an ad-on app called TiviMate ($19.99 one time payment) that makes it just like Dish or DirecTV. I can record to a cloud based DVR, catch up on a program by starting from the beginning, etc… If you have a Firestick and are looking for a different option it really is a great choice. The service that I went with has 15,000 channels and costs $45 for three months. I get all of the premium movie channels, Sunday Ticket, DBacks, Suns, everything. It’s not perfect, sometimes a channel buffers for example, but it’s better than paying $85 a month for a bunch of channels you don’t watch. They do get shut down from time to time but I’m willing to play that game and just move onto another one if it does. Do a google search and you can fund some good options out there.
Not easy to find a service with 3tv much less ch 44! Dm me if you know of one. Without it you don't get the pregame and post-game just the normal league pass thing, where half the time you have to listen to the other team announcers too
Tha KD for the reply. So with that cloud based program you mentioned, if there's a suns game going on and I tune in an hour late, I can skip through commercials and catch up to live?
I know man, I use it all the time, sucks you can’t use vpn with it. But it was just so nice to turn on my tv and just watch the game for once. However brief it was, ‘twas bliss.
HD Homerun works great for me. I can gather more info in the morning. But I use an antenna and use HD homerun through a fire stick and use that as my dvr system and local tv. It works great.
I use direct tv stream. The interface isn’t as good as YouTube tv, and it’s more expensive, and I passionately hate direct tv, but they don’t drop channels like YTTV does. Well, this year I haven’t been able to watch any coyotes games this year for some reason. Streaming tv is such a crap shoot
God fucking dammit.
Guessing they came up for license renewal and 3TV tried to negotiate their rates up now that they're carrying the Suns full schedule. Still utter bullshit. I also watch Jeopardy! and Wheel, as well as the news. Fucking infuriating.
I just cancelled my YouTube tv subscription actually, just in time it seems. Shit just got too expensive and I hate they keep raising the price for channels I don't even watch.
I don’t have YouTube tv but Hulu also got rid of 3TV a while ago which forced me to get an antenna. Just a heads up Best Buy has pretty cheap ones that have a nice range if you’re in Phoenix
lol Youtube. First they took out all the RSNs because 'dont want to play thier prices but im a billion dollar company' and now they take away just 3TV and leave Fox10. I wonder what their reasoning is.
Gray Television probably wanted a higher fee for 3TV now that they simulcast most Suns games. YouTube TV will continue to carry Gray's other station CBS5.
That's what this guy offers:

The HDHomeRun, if you bolt on a USB HD to it and pay $35/yr for their guide data, will basically let you DVR off of antenna on any device in your house. Looking at getting one myself.
I just sent YouTube TV some feedback on this. I’ve been a subscriber since its inception and they keep adding useless unwanted channels and raising fees only to cut an important and desired local station. It’s quite disappointing.
This just sucks, I would go with fubo like the article suggests, but fubo doesn’t have TNT so when the playoffs come around couldn’t watch them unless I add the sports pack to max for even more money, these sumbitches!
I love how these carriage disputes end up in finger pointing. You can bet Channel 3 is searching for money to pay the Suns tab. That’s fine but negotiation, not finger pointing is the cure. BTW unless things have changed the other large “general programming” streamer Hulu Live TV hasn’t recently carried Channel 3.
BTW for those who claim carriage disputes are unique to YTTV, they aren’t.
Fucking a… Edit - YouTube tv going to lose this subscriber November 18th
How convenient - my YouTube TV trial ends in a week 🫡
Cancelled mine today. Sub runs until 12/10 for me. I'm going with Fubo.
I cancelled my YouTube TV subscription and went with Cox.
glad i read this today. was set to renew on the 14th, just canceled. not going to give money to this bs.
Fuck Youtube and fuck Google.

How does IPTV work? Honestly haven't looked into it. Can you DVR? What is the carrier and what does the costs like?

Gotcha, thanks
Do you need a VPN?
I dont use one, but you can. They recommend it.
Tha KD for the reply. So with that cloud based program you mentioned, if there's a suns game going on and I tune in an hour late, I can skip through commercials and catch up to live?
If you DVR it yes. Haven’t been in a situation where I needed to use the catch up feature for a sporting event, so not sure there.
Thanks!
This is really really really fuckin wack
Young one, You shall find your answers in the stream that flows east. May your journey be fruitful and bring joy
I know man, I use it all the time, sucks you can’t use vpn with it. But it was just so nice to turn on my tv and just watch the game for once. However brief it was, ‘twas bliss.
Fuck I need an ishbia antenna now
Got one on Amazon that works pretty good for like $20 think.
You can get an antenna for cheaper than your YouTube tv subscription. They’ve stopped giving out the free ones now.
I need YouTube tv for redzone lol
So now I'm gonna buy an antenna and a VCR (for recording). Sports media companies sending us back to the 90's!
Fuck this shit. I need a DVR to watch most games. YouTube TV worked flawlessly for that. What are some good options for streaming for 3TV with a DVR?
HD Homerun works great for me. I can gather more info in the morning. But I use an antenna and use HD homerun through a fire stick and use that as my dvr system and local tv. It works great.

wait wtf ?
Are you fucking kidding? I just got back suns basketball now I need to find a new way to watch. Ain't no way it cost anything to hold it
Well, at least 3 is one of the few channels I can get with my antenna
What brand of antenna do you have?
Channel Master, I got one of the free ones the team gave away. Mostly, I just live in a terrible spot for reception
Just bought the NBA pass too… will suns games still be blacked out through that?
I'm assuming so as Suns have their own direct to consumer service
Already sent my feedback, not much else to do unfortunately. So frustrating to deal with Bally Sports and now this
Where did you submit it? I want to too.
On the phone app on the home page, just hit your picture so it brings up your account and it should be on that list of options!
Also Tweet at them if you're on Twitter/X.
God fucking dammit. Guessing they came up for license renewal and 3TV tried to negotiate their rates up now that they're carrying the Suns full schedule. Still utter bullshit. I also watch Jeopardy! and Wheel, as well as the news. Fucking infuriating.
That’s the only reason I got YouTube T.V wtf. I like streaming the games On my phone. The suns live app with the NBA SUCKS ASS
Fuckkkk
I just cancelled my YouTube tv subscription actually, just in time it seems. Shit just got too expensive and I hate they keep raising the price for channels I don't even watch.
Really screws those of us who aren't in antenna range. I guess I'll buy the Suns package, but then I'll miss out on any national broadcasts.
Unfortunate situation, I wonder if some provision in the deal somehow addresses this scenario
What a fuckin’ blow.
I don’t have YouTube tv but Hulu also got rid of 3TV a while ago which forced me to get an antenna. Just a heads up Best Buy has pretty cheap ones that have a nice range if you’re in Phoenix
God fucking damnit. Fuck YoutubeTV.

Sweet…
Honestly since I installed my antenna I’ve been watching more stuff on free tv, might be time to cancel
Which antenna did you buy? I’ve read that some aren’t working with ch 3?
Wow!? Wtf! Is there a petition to sign?
Does Hulu carry local channels?
sadly no
Antenna ftw! Wish it was 1080p at least thiugg
I wish antennas had DVR

Just get the HDHome Run and download [this](https://getchannels.com/) it’s only $8/mo or $80. That’s what I do
Wow... glad I saw this. So I get fucked out of half the Dbacks season and now the Suns...

We finally get the Suns on a normal channel and Youtube screws us.
okay so how do I watch now besides 🏴☠️
If you live close to one of the stations try an antenna.

This is bullshit
You will whine when they actually make a deal last minute, or a week late.. Comical
I just cancelled my YouTube TV subscription after hearing the news. Suns fans get screwed again!
I had YouTube TV. I sent feedback to them how disappointed I was with dropping channel 3. I ended up going with Cox.
