    Ok maybe this might be common knowledge to yall, but does YTV not carry the local Rockets games?

    I completely cut Comcast earlier this year, but it was not during basketball season so I honestly wasn't even thinking of the Rockets at the time when I decided

    They don't get the Rockets channel. I'm dying to cut the cord myself so a good legal streaming option would be nice. Xfinity is good but the app allowing you to watch TV on your phone doesn't let you watch Rockets games outside of your home wifi. That's garbage imo.

    The only streaming TV platform with AT&T SW is Fubo.

    https://www.fubo.tv

    It's pretty good according to most reviews, and cheap (free trial, then $54.99 per month), but it's worth noting that they don't have a deal with Disney — which means no ABC, ESPN, SECN, etc.

    Yep, I tried to do this with the Astros playoff games.

    What's the point in being able to stream from your phone if you can't watch your home sports teams while they're playing.... and you're OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME.

    Dumb.

    AT&T Sportsnet is the bad guy here. They are partnered with just one streaming service atm (Fubo) and for whatever reason have not worked it out with YTTV, Hulu, etc.

    I have YTTV too, loved the savings but knew I would lose Rox games.

    r/adam_silverfanpage makes it easier to deal with but still not ideal.

    Xfinity streaming is amazing. VPN into home network to get around in home network restriction.

    Fubotv is what I have and CAN watch ATT Local Sports but NO ESPN which I honestly don't mind at all.

    @Clutch if you want to cord cut and keep your houston sports FuboTV is the only choice.

    I used Xfinity to watch game 4 on my phone in a bar on cell service. Maybe they allow you to stream Fox but not FS1?

    I have it, it's awesome!! I don't miss Disney/ESPN at all but I'm also a huge soccer fan so again nothing better than FuboTv for footy.

    Yeah it wasn't working when they played the early games on FS1.

    Why were you watching the game on your phone at a bar?

    Only one TV in the bar, and it was too far away and a poor quality picture. Was on a date, just checking the score every now and then.

    Moved out of Houston this past summer and finally was able to cut the Xfinity cord. YouTube TV & NBA LP Rockets pass has been amazing so far.

    watched the game though LP and youtube tv but i am outside of the Houston market

    but honestly the ATT SW guys were using the stupidest camera angles last night especially in the 4th quarter all zoomed in to the ball handler you couldn't see the entire court and what any off ball action was going on. The absolute worst whoever was thinking it was a good idea needs to get fired immediately. I really hope they do not continue that trend for the game tomorrow night.

    LP as others said.

    In some gyms, they have tvs with the treadmills and stationary bikes. Can get some national games (TNT / ESPN) if cut the cord. :p . Turn up the speed and pretend you're running the fast break with Capella and Russ. :D Turn down speed during commercials.

    You can stream on the Xfinity app without the cable subscription? I'm confused
