But the NBA, like any major sports entity, also has *its own* YouTube channel... aaaaand I don't think any of their TV partners can block content from that. B
PGage, to Jim Ellwanger, in part, Nov 7th: The same point was made on puck news last night (See you below). I experienced my first real pain of the YouTube TV/Disney war earlier this week when I found I was not able to access the Lakers-Spurs game, One of the real marquee matchups of the early NBA season. It was particularly painful because I thought I was immune to this blow because even though I usually watch ESPN NBA games via YouTube TV, I do also have the Disney bundle and my understanding had been that I would be able to access the NBA through the ESPN app. But it turned out. It seems like an access almost everything on the ESPN app EXCEPT the NBA. The app Ask for my TV provider when I try to access the game and when I told her it was YouTube TV basically laughed in my face. Early the next morning, I talked to my son who was in the same boat and he advised me to do what he had done, which was to search. “NBA Laker highlights” On regular YouTube, where I did find a pretty nice almost 30 minute long package of excerpts from the game that I could watch to get a feel of how the game had progressed and then also watched another 30 minute package of post game interviews. If Disney escalates its war by removing all of its content from regular YouTube, in addition to YouTube TV, we would not even have had that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
