What Service Are You Using To Watch Suns Games?

Post by DesertcoastPartDeux »

YouTubeTV user here. Generally happy, other than the AZ Sports missing from their service.
What's everyone using?
Suns Live package? Or something else like DirectTV/Fubo or?

(and no I can't get OTA as I live next to a mountain and I've never been able to pull local channels in)

TIA

Cox Cable for me. People tell me I’m paying too much, but it’s just so darn familiar and comfortable after being a customer for more than a quarter century.

Same. YouTube TV for Cardinals and Suns games not on Suns Live.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Same for me. Right there with you when talking about familiar. I have been considering the switch to YouTube TV, but have cut the cord yet. And I have Suns Live so I can watch games when I’m at work.

DirectTV/Fubo/SunsLive have all been finicky for various reasons but YouTubeTV has been very solid...other than the stupid issue they have with KTVK.

Looks like I'll have to get back on SunsLive.

Thx for the input!

YouTubeTV with league pass. I'm very happy except I hate the 15 second fast forward increment. It needs to be 10 seconds like everyone else AND why can't it start at the thumbnail? It' always starts playing.a.few seconds after that!!??

YouTube TV and OTA antenna with HDHomeRun with hard drive for recording. Suns games and Jeopardy both on KTVK. I am just South of South Mountain.

Bone, serious antenna or basic "off the shelf stick it somewhere" variety?

I'm still where we used to do some of the drunken amateur report recording at my studio, right next to Squaw Peak north side. Seems to be a dead spot for everything :D

Hmm, that's too bad. Here's what I'm rocking:

The reviews seem to be all over the place but I've had no issues at my location. I think it's a basic digital antenna.

I have YoutubeTV in the house and just attached an antenna to my tv on the back patio on Sunday. It's been working great and we can finally start to enjoy the weather.

I have Comcast/Xfinity cable and subscribe to NBA League Pass. That's how I watch most of the games; occasionally there's a blackout or other issue so I google and find some random stream, but mostly I'm on NBALP.

Just the weather? Not the rest of the newscast?

Well, of course I wouldn't watch it on the patio if the antenna wasn't working and the expected service wasn't good on the TV for the newscast, haha. I just figured those were givens.

As usual with me, just attempting a play on words. “Now that the antenna is working we can enjoy the weather” as if you’re using the antenna to watch the weather segment of the news. Get it? Ha ha, hilarious. Where’s my American Comedy Award?

I missed a coma. Dang it.

I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag, but I am using the antenna to control the weather. You're welcome.

Well, to be fair, you're usually out cold for most of it.
