Workarounds for Directv Disney Dispute

You'll be amazed at how far ahead of other people your OTA connection is.

Them: "Did you see that play?"

You: "Well before you just now."

An off-air antenna will help you get your local ABC station (assuming your antenna can pick up its signal). But it won't get you ESPN. 

YouTube TV has a free 21day trial 

Yes. Additionally, directv is offering a $20 one-time credit so this can cover costs for the OTA antenna. 

Antennas are excellent insurance, regardless, against the yearly carriage disputes all TV services suffer.

Those who have ROKU can get ESPN.

Can you? As of last I heard, the linear (live) ESPN channels are only via authentication. ESPN+ is an extra fee and may or may not have the same live sports/shows as ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC, depending on what the sport/show is.

Not sure about football,  but I watched Sunday Night Baseball last week. 

No ABC means no presidential debate on 9/10/24 for Direct TV subscribers.  This is un-American!  It is not entertainment, it impacts all of all lives. The two sides (Disney and Direct TV) should at least have an agrement to be able to air this for democracy's sake, no matter who you are leaning vote for.  Corporations should not decide government, and people should not have to pay to make an informed decision.

@Toph The debate is being simulcast on CNN and MSNBC....along with every major network like CBS, NBC and Fox 

The debate is also on ABC News Live which anyone can get.

I think even PBS has it.

So that's:

ABC 

ABC News Live

NBC

MSNBC

CNN

FOX

CBS

PBS

Eight different ways.

Keep in mind that most people can pick up ABC with an antenna.

I'm in Denver and just got a $30 credit....

YouTube Tv is always modifying their trial but it is currently 10 days and not 21 as mentioned previously...

I just created a new Gmail account and looked....says 21 for me

It was 21 when I did it, last Friday....
