That higher education sure did you a lot of good. Have fun on the high seas or paying the regular rate while I use my regular ol' .edu email and enjoy my discount.

Ha. I don't have to worry about it anyway. I live in NC you freaking weirdo. 

Plus, I'm in school right now. So even if I wanted to use it, I could.

My student discount last year only asked for my college email, which they accepted once I confirmed it via that email, nad my brother did it for years via his college email. If there was more behind the scenes it wasn't obvious.

Working at the Higher Education place I worked at. They ALWAYS rejected mine when I tried it...............

Maybe it was because I worked there and wasn't a student.

If only YouTube TV guide wasn't terrible

we were stuck with cable box guides for so long, it's still an improvement. This is the kind of stuff you do with all that money. unlike direct tv. Direct TV will be dead in 5-10 years. Garbage company.

Police are going after illegal streamers -- this one was in Argentina and was brought down by DirecTV recently.

They recognize that it's a bit of whack-a-mole, and taking out one provider doesn't make a dent.   But, as we saw with the rise of Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc vs using Limewire or Napster --- if you make legal content easily accessible and (comparatively) inexpensive.... the majority of consumers will stop pirating content

Changing from the audience-specific DirecTV to a "open for anyone" YouTube solution should result in less pirate streams.

On YouTube TV, does anybody know if I can put in a Charlotte zipcode as my local area and watch the Panthers games that way?  I realize that your location is based off IP address, but the YT GUI says that you can do it manually if its not correct...

Google NFL ... and then what you do to an apple to pierce the skin. Dozens of streams for every game. Minimal ad intrusion (zero if you know how to block them ... and the way to get to the actual stream*), and the streams are actually decent. In HD, shows local coverage (as in the real commercials you'll see), and just a few buffer issues a game if any. If you're not a hardcore "Sunday is my holy day" NFL guy, and the Panthers don't come on where you live, it's pretty much perfect.

*key

Thanks I appreciate it!

I wouldn't recommend it, unless you want Charlotte TV full time.

Per Google, once you enter your home ZIP that's it.  (you can change your home ZIP twice a year... and you have to physically be in the home area to update to a different ZIP)

Not as a temporary change, no.

And it sounds like there's a cross-ref between home market/zip/IP address to verify that you are where you say you are.    And you have to log in (regularly) from that same combination to keep the connection/setting active.

Slight concern about latency delay vs traditional broadcast, but shouldn't be that much worse than DTV was

Haven’t watched enough sports yet on YouTube to notice the latency.. but Direct Tv was about 5-10 seconds when using the genie boxes versus the main receiver.. the clarity is much better than Direct!!

I've only ever used Sling and was okay with it but hated the fact that you have to have an antenna to watch locals. Sounds like you have suer both and yttv is your choice. Going with it then.

Well I've used both yes. I'm not sure why you needed an antenna to get local channels with sling because my sling had all my local channels. It just sucks and is glitchy and the latency is ass. YouTube is infinitely better.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
