That would be nice, as I got busy and forgot to cancel the 3 week trial yesterday, so I’m stuck paying for this month.
Would be nice to try it with an official FireTV app. It does work great with my LG webOS app.
I found it. Yep FS2 is on channel 149 when it comes back someday.

I really think you would like Youtube TV. They also have your local channels and local PBS is coming soon (if it hasn't already):
I got the YouTube up and running from my 4K Firestick. I didn't see anything about it being a trail but it works.
Youtube and Youtube TV are two different apps-
OK, understand now. So does 4K Firestick have YouTube TV? I don't think I saw it. I have Amazon Prime too. Does that have YouTube TV?
OK, thanks. I am just not up to speed on all this streaming stuff. I have LG and Samsung smart TVs. I wonder if they can get FOX sports!
Maybe. Search for "Fox Sports Go" in the TV menu. Problem is, to use them, you still have to have a subscription to a major TV provider.
PS- A Youtube TV free trial would cover that
Depending on the version of webOS on your LG tv, there is a YouTubeTV app in the webOS store (LG Content app). It works well on my newest LG4K with webOS4.13. It also works fine on my older office 4K LG tv with webOS 3.3.4
Edit: YouTubeTV and SlingTV are the only pay tv subscription apps for US viewers in the LG webOS store. The Fox sports app is on the Firetv, but of course needs a pay tv subscription to authenticate with.
OK, thanks again. I will look around. My wife is going to have my A-- on this FOX sports issue. YikesMaybe. Search for "Fox Sports Go" in the TV menu. Problem is, to use them, you still have to have a subscription to a major TV provider.

My local is still on, but I have OTA anywayLooks like all the Fox owned locals are off too. Pretty soon we won't have any channels left.
Our local Fox affiliate has been off since March. This is getting ridiculous.
Yeah we have 2 full power O&Os here in Phoenix, Fox 10 and MyTV 45/Fox 10 Xtra.
Wait till Dish and Sinclair get into it over locals!
I am pretty sure Dish's dispute with the Sinclair locals was in 2015 (I remember being affected by that one) and then the contract was quietly renewed last year, judging by activity in the uplink reports. (Dish had removed the OTA guide mapping from the satellite-delivered feeds of the Sinclair stations, and uplinked separate guide data streams for the OTA versions instead. After awhile, Dish reversed these changes, which implies that a long-term deal was reached.) So, we may have quite awhile before the Dish/Sinclair locals contract comes up for renewal again. (2021 if the renewal was for three years like the previous time.)
I'll gladly pay 10 cents for you to watch your channel, but I won't pay $5 for an overpriced channel.While this doesn't fit me personally because I do watch the Cooking channels, but there are a bunch of folks out there that don't and don't want to pay for us to have them!
I get there is a dispute. Once again though we pay 100% of our bills - and DISH does not have the channels. Got it. There's a dispute. But we absolutely deserve a credit on our bills. DISH is not paying Fox. DISH is not paying Sinclair for the FSN channels. But the bills have not gone down one cent.
Each one of us is entitled to a credit for all of this. So tired of DISH pocketing the money they save. We are all getting hosed.
