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.

https://torrentfreak.com/digital-tv-raided-by-cybercrime-unit-following-directv-iptv-piracy-complaint-230721/ 

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.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
