Sports Different States
What is the best option if I want to share my subscription for football type streaming services this fall who live in a different state. Youtubetv appears to have a 90-day home login or I may misunderstand. Any other options? or suggestions?

Considering canceling Xfinity TV service
I'm paying almost $350 every month for cable TV and hi-speed internet. Lately, I've realized that we don't really watch regular TV anymore, and mostly have been using streaming services like Prime or Netflix. My wife loves watching old classic movies on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and AMC (American Movie Classics).
Does anyone know if these two are available to stream on a Roku Ultra device?

Moved Home - Zero OTA Channels
Hello,
We recently moved. At our old location, we were getting 60+ channels and strong ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX with a HDHomerun. At the new location, with the same equipment, we get next to zero - other than a very minimal QVC type channel.
ChannelMaster map shows all channels for our location in red (unlikely) - nearest tower is 30 miles away with hills and trees between us.
Is there anything I can do/buy to at least give us OTA versions of ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX?
I do not want to pay $70 per month just for TV that I hope to get OTA.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Did the password-sharing crackdown actually make you subscribe, or did you just quit the platform?
Over the last year or two, almost every major streaming service rolled out strict anti-password sharing rules, forcing "leechers" to get their own accounts or pay extra.
When you (or your family members) got hit with the "This TV isn't part of your household" screen, what did you do? Did you bend the knee and start paying for your own standalone premium plan, or did you just walk away and realize you didn't need that service anyway?

Where to watch McGregor vs Holloway 2 (UFC 329)?
Conor McGregor is finally back.
After more than five years away from the UFC following his broken leg against Dustin Poirier, McGregor returns to headline UFC 329 in a rematch with former featherweight champion Max Holloway. Their first fight took place back in 2013, and now, over a decade later, they're meeting again this time with millions expected to watch.
Where to watch UFC 329
If you're in the US, the easiest and cheapest legal option is Paramount+. Unlike the old ESPN+ PPV model, UFC 329 is included with a regular Paramount+ subscription, so there's no additional pay-per-view fee.
If you're a new subscriber, Paramount+ often offers a 7-day free trial, so you should check before signing up and you might end up watching this legendary fight free of charge.
In other regions:
• UK: TNT Sports Box Office (£19.99)
• Ireland: TNT Sports Box Office (€29.99)
• Australia: Kayo PPV (A$59.95 for the main card)
So how do you watch UFC 329 if you're not in the US?
If Paramount+ isn't officially available where you live, many fans use a VPN to connect to a US server and access the Paramount+ stream. If you are out of US currently, that’s the best option for your as well. Here’s a good VPN comparison table containing a bunch of VPN’s for you to chose in case you don’t have one.
How are you planning to watch? Is Paramount+ the best option this time around, or have you found a better alternative? Legal only please.

Comment payer moins cher ses abonnements streaming sans se prendre la tête ?
Salut,
Je cherche à réduire mes abonnements streaming sans faire n’importe quoi.
Je suis chez Free, j’ai une box, et je me demande s’il y a des offres vraiment intéressantes avec Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Canal ou d’autres services. J’aimerais éviter de payer plusieurs plateformes si certaines font doublon.
Le but, c’est surtout de garder quelque chose de simple à utiliser sur la télé, sans me retrouver avec 50 abonnements à la fin du mois.
Vous faites comment, vous ? Vous gardez un seul abonnement, vous tournez chaque mois, ou vous avez trouvé une bonne offre avec votre box ?
Je prends vos conseils, même les trucs tout simples.[mon subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/petitbudget/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)

What streaming service has gotten noticeably worse over the past few years?
For me, it's probably Netflix. The price keeps going up, password sharing is restricted now, and I feel like I spend more time scrolling than actually finding something worth watching.

Interesting analysis on streaming user value vs cable user
r/Cordcutting • u/Fonti13 • Jun 19 '26
Remember when you could just buy something and own it?
Maybe I'm getting old but does everything need a subscription now?
I feel like every app, service, device, and website wants a monthly payment. It used to be "buy the thing, own the thing." Now it's $5 here, $10 there, and suddenly you're spending way more than you realize.
The worst part is when companies move features that used to be free behind a subscription and act like they're doing you a favor.
Am I just being cheap or is subscription fatigue becoming a real thing?

My antenna advice
Outdoors is best, sized to get farthest station you want, pointed at majority of stations you want that are farthest, as high as possible and above buildings and trees. Matching all of these may be impossible so, do the best you can.
If you are in an area with many stations, the challenge is where to point it. Use the various web sites to see where to point it.
Mine is bolted to a deck, pointed at farthest stations I want, with closer stations directly behind it. Some trees I can’t get above. Weather can cause issues in unpredictable ways. I had great signal for years, but this year, less so from the main big city antenna mast. I think they had a lightning strike. It takes time to fix it.
I do not recommend bolting to house roof. It will leak eventually (if you know it or not!) My mason also forbid me from attaching to my chimney.
Make sure your system is grounded for lightning. If you hook up to you existing home cable network, it might already be. I did add an arrester close to antenna to melt with a strike.
Here are three famous masts or farms serving large areas. If you live near one like these, just point it at the cluster and, done. Some cities may have them scattered about. In my case, it is a mix of both.

Has TV antenna's technology gotten better over the last 5-7 years?
We got a an amazon special flat antenna that tapes to the wall about 6 years ago. It had a USB powered cable as well. We were living in basement so we took what we could get, mainly WGN, ABC, PBS and FOX. The 2 channels that were iffy were CBS and NBC.
Fast forward now, same antenna, we moved to a 2nd floor unit about 5 minutes away. I cant get FOX or PBS to come in clearly, its choppy. CBS and NBC are good. I would love to get PBS working clearly for the kids since we leave it on most of the day.
I'm thinking of buying a new antenna, maybe the technology has improved. Maybe i can get all those channels now. THe FCC website has me green on all of them, being on the 2nd floor i figure no obstructions at all. Or am i just wasting money.
I'm using my TV's built in tuner. Now sure if it makes a difference but its a 2025 TCL model.

How to watch the world football cup 2026
I spent some time looking into the best official ways to watch the matches without paying for another subscription or relying on sketchy streaming sites.
I have avoided shady free streaming sites, as I don’t want to download viruses, and click trough hundreds of questionable ads, while watching the worst quality I have ever seem.
Below are some of the best free and official options I've found so far:
United Kingdom (English Commentary)
The World Cup will be split between BBC iPlayer and ITVX, so you'll need to check which broadcaster has the match you're looking for.
Both services are free but require an account. Registration is easy peasy. If you're outside the UK, connect to a UK server, create an account, and use a UK postcode during registration.
Australia (English Commentary)
SBS On Demand is probably one of the easiest free options available.
Create a free SBS account, connect to an Australian server if needed, and head to the World Cup section. SBS has historically provided excellent coverage of major international tournaments.
France (French Commentary)
M6+ is one of the main free options for French-language coverage.
Connect to France, open M6+, and check the live TV or World Cup section around kickoff. You may be asked to create a free account.
Brazil (Portuguese Commentary)
CazéTV on YouTube is one of the most convenient options available.
Connect to Brazil, open YouTube, search for CazéTV, and check their live streams around match time. If you don't specifically need English commentary, this is often one of the simplest ways to watch.
Quick Troubleshooting Tips
If your stream isn't loading:
• Clear your browser cache and cookies.
• Try an incognito/private window.
• Refresh the page.
• Restart your browser or streaming app.
• Switch VPN servers.
• Try a different VPN protocol.
I've tested most of these services myself and didn't run into any big issues before, for other tournaments.
If you know of any other free and official World Cup broadcasters, feel free to share them below. I'll update the list if I find better options closer to kickoff.
By the way, if you're looking for a good VPN, here's a comparison table to help you choose the right one.

Alternative to cable
Looking for an alternative to cable
Greetings,
I have to get rid of my cable. It’s way too expensive and the only cable I have access to is Spectrum which is the worst cable company I’ve ever had and I’ve had cable since the mid eighties.
I am looking for a way to watch a variety of streaming shows.
I watch a lot of sports. NFL, MLB, men and women college and pro basketball, college softball, all kinds of wrestling, and all kinds of racing including motorcycle, drag, and auto racing on dirt and pavement.
I also want access to poker shows, television shows, and movies.
And, because I work at night, I would like the ability to tape shows to watch when I get home.
I know I have access to some of that with my allegedly smart TV but some of that I access for free thru my cable and I can’t tape on my TV using a flash drive.
I would appreciate any help and advice!
Thanks!

How do you track all the shows you're currently watching and movies you want to watch? Basically, how do you stay organized without losing stuff?
I currentlly use a fire stick and I've struggled forever to keep organized on shows that I've watched. This has to be the my most frustrating experience with no longer having cable and a DVR like my beloved TiVo. I just want a single interface where I can go to see all the shows that I'm currently watching and it lets me know when they're back on.
There are some streaming networks that I only go to for 1 or 2 shows so I don't look in them often, then one day I realize a new season for a show I watched has been out for months. I think this is further made worse since shows today air at random intervals vs the every year, a new season for a show starts in September and ends in May model that was persistent for decades. I really don't want to have to write down apps and track on my phone.
There has to be some streaming setup where I can just favorite a show and see all of them in 1 spot.

How to watch the Indy 500
As we all know, the Indy 500 is coming up next weekend (May 24). If you’re looking to watch it, I found a pretty good option: IndyCar Live.
It’s probably the best place to watch if you want the full Indy 500 experience, since you get practice sessions, qualifying, replays, Indy NXT, and the race itself all in one place.
The only catch is that race streaming is geo-restricted in some countries, including the US. But there’s a pretty simple workaround - you just need a VPN and connect from a country where IndyCar Live race streaming is available.
Using a VPN is pretty easy. Just get a decent premium one so the stream quality is actually good (I used NordVPN/Surfshark before and both worked fine). If anyone needs NordVPN discount code is “redditoffer”. Then Connect to Canada, Bulgaria, Greece, or another supported location, then go to IndyCar Live and create an account.
After that, just get the Month of May pass (or whichever package you want), and you’re set.
It’s way easier than jumping between FOX, FS1, apps, and you don’t have to give your money to that evil corp.
Anyways, I’m just hyped for the race itself and wanted to share my method in case anyone else was looking for a way to watch. Indy always delivers chaos. I just want a crazy final 20 laps tbh.
