Any idea what the DVR situation is like with the Sling day pass?
We’re visiting the in laws this weekend and I probably can’t watch tonight but in this situation would usually (yttv) watch the next morning…

Sling Day Pass is solid in a pinch but you only get one stream. I have had success watching some live games on YouTube and TVPass dot org. I hope this all gets resolved soon because I miss my Quad Box on YouTubeTV.

Thanks Dylan. Ridiculous that this game of chicken is still going on. Fubo offers a free 5 day trial which I signed up for when I couldn’t watch MNF.
