I just back from BBQ party and was planning to pass out while watching this USC/LSU game when I a message appeared on my ABC channel: No longer have Disney contract and their channels are no longer available. (Or something to that effect).

Does anyone have DIRECTV or U-verse? If so, have you called them and ask for a discount because they no longer have the Disney owned channels? I’m too drunk to call them right now. Friend is coming to pick me up so we can watch the game at a bar. 

Boring game. You didn't miss much. LSU won by 28 points.

Just signed up for ESPN+ so able to watch the games. Don’t watch anything non-sports on ABC or other Disney owned channels so all good.

DirecTV and Disney both legacy brands that are buried.

Huh? Apparentely, it was a good thing I did watch it at a bar, instead of relying on SBR for info.

I’m so confused as I can’t get the game on ESPN+ app. However, the game is being posted on YT. Guess ESPN is allowing this to circumvent the AT&T block.

Called AT&T and got $30 refund. That covers the $10.99 cost of ESPN+ and a few beer at the bar during happy hour for MNF next week. 😁

I think it got resolved yesterday, Saturday.

Don’t know and really don’t care as the dispute involved two of the worst companies around, Disney and AT&T. And yes, I have AT&T but it’s either them or Comcast so it’s picking two of the lesser evils which is impossible. But I do know who lost… we, the consumers. 😡

Agreed across the board. Both dog shit companies.
