Back from streaming (YTTV) to DirecTV? Has anyone done this?

If you're talking about the Red Wings, I'm a fan of them, but can't watch them unless they're on ESPN or TNT because I don't have Center Ice.

Yes, thats them ...
I use to watch them on the RSN ...
Don't know for sure if they are still available or bankrupt at this point ... I THINK they are still there, but haven't turned an RSN (local) on in Years. (ya know ... the ones I pay a BOATLOAD for) ...

Maybe if they would offer you Any RSN, seeing I'm paying about $16 per month for things I don't watch.
Take that $16 and put it towards ones I DO use ... as in Lower the price of the MLB package I get to watch the Astros.

Then again, that may not be there soon.

They definitely are still available, I entered a Toledo ZIP code on Bally's website and the Red Wings are listed as well as five other teams which are the Cavs, Tigers, Pistons, Reds, and Guardians.

Actually, I didn't even know it was called Bally Great Lakes ... they cover the Cavs and Guardians.
Bally Ohio is the Reds.

If you want to guarantee a Wings lose, let me know ... I'll turn it on some time ... No Betting !

Folks...it looks like we're staying with DirecTV Stream. But we've got one issue that is a SUPER headache. It appears that it takes 14(!) punches on the remote to turn closed captioning on and off. I'm not much on voice commands, so is there way shortcut available on the remote to do this? Many thanks!
