BLACKOUT ALERT(and fix) for DirecTV!

[RTRMR]

Reading that Disney May go black at 12 noon, for DirecTV/AT&T U-Verse.
If you have a digital HD antenna, you’re good(it’ll be on local ABC).
If you don’t have digital antenna, make sure you have ESPN app on Roku/Fire Stick.
Then, sign up for ESPN+. It’s $4.99/month, and you can cancel after the game.
When you sign up, do NOT use ATT OR DirecTV as your cable provider(my parents live in Philly, so I selected XFINITY).
Select the provider, and your good to go!!!
I just did this, and it worked fine.
If you have ATT or DirecTV as your provider, the app will black the game out.
Hope this helps, and I hope this is a moot point!
Relply to this thread, if you have any questions.
WE ARE........

Yes, if you have Roku Or Firestick or smart TV, download ESPN app, and sign up for ESPN+

I have DirecTV and I always have a regular antenna plugged into it. Not only do you get a surprising number of decent channels with it, it never gets blacked out or blocked by bad weather.
