So,  once again DTV has screwed me.  I switched to their streaming service ( i needed Ballys for other sports ) and now with the season ready to kick off,  their dispute with the CBS distributor is still not settled so no Vikings games on DTV this week.  Antenna is not an option for where I live.   I see Paramount is offering live stream CBS,  but I am guessing that is just for the "national" game at that time which is not going to be Vikes/Bucs... so aside from going to a bar,  any other thoughts on getting the game this week?  I am on the Vikings home/secondary network so if that opens or closes any doors... I dont know.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

I feel ya, I had an adjustment period when I went to streaming from Xfinity with the interface. If you give it some time, it will dial in on your preferences and make them easier to access by having your 'favorites' on the initial landing page (I'm speaking about YouTubeTV as I have no experience with Fubo). Netflix is also far superior of an interface than other similar services like Amazon Prime, HBO Max, etc. 



Streaming so far is fine for movies and binge watching series,  but to just sit down and vegge in front of the tv ...it kinda sucks.

You can also chose your channel order for your guide on both Fubo and YouTube TV.  All the crap you don't want to see is at the bottom and the 10 or 15 channels you like are at the top.  Also, you can use the "down" button (for Roku anyway) while watching a show and scan through the guide without leaving your show (both Fubo and YTTV).  It's clunkier than cable, but the cost savings and freedom of streaming is well worth it for me.  I honestly don't watch that much TV, but I want my favorite channels when I do.
