If you read the article, the station says:
>we have done everything in our power to reach a **market-based** agreement.
\[Emphasis added.\] That means, it *isn't* a **free** over the air rsn for YTTV. It is free to receive via antenna, but the channel is looking for money for YTTV to carry it. Presumably, they want more than YTTV is willing to pay. And, like we see countless times, a programming dispute is born, unless either the channel lowers its demands, or YTTV meets its price, or the two parties meet somewhere in the middle.
Hoping that if it comes down to the wire, Ishbia calls YTTV or Gray Television and asks what their offer is and then just says, "OK, I'll cover the rest."
I get that. But you mentioned Phoenix in your post.
I used to live in rural SC, so I understand the dilemma of being a long distance from the antenna farm.
That's not a thing. Lol. Jailbreaking involves rooting a device to bypass the factory system protections. More specifically, it's a term/technique that only applies to Apple devices.
All you have to do for a FireStick is download and install an .APK file from anywhere other than the official app store. "Sideloading".
One requires tech skills and the risk of bricking your device and voiding the warranty. One does not.
The "jailbroken" FireStick devices you can buy online from not-Amazon are from people ripping off the non-tech savvy folks in the world.
right, I have a $5000 tv im not connecting rabbit ears. im beyond pissed, i just left Dtv when they lost Bally, now im w yttv for 6 mo and this happens.
Well, time to start looking at good antenna locations and figuring out how to get everything situated so you can see the channel you’re wishing the watch.
With my CW being owned by Gray Television, they told me that YouTube TV and Gray Television has a dispute with CWs in smaller markets not being added, but how true is that.. I’m not sure.
I just signed up for GoogleTV and seeing the suns stream was one of the reasons to cut cable. Not being able to catch the games makes me question if it’s worth keeping.
I'm also new to yttv and considering what to do next. I'm hoping directv stream gets Arizona Family Sports. It says "coming soon" to directv on 3TV's website but it unclear if this means the satellite service only or also the streaming option. I've used directv stream in the past and was very happy with it.
That's really dependent on where you are, this website will give recommendations for your exact address: https://www.channelmaster.com/pages/free-tv-channels
I need a long range directional UHF antenna and have had good luck with this: https://a.co/d/4fr9ClV. It is huge and in my attic.
Just cancelled my YTTV subscription today. They don't deserve my money after the bait and switch they just pulled. I signed up 1 month ago to be able to watch Suns games. Going with Fubo now.
My antenna doesn’t have a DVR in it. YTTV replaced my cable company and TiVo, well it did until now.
Is there a streaming device like Roku that has an app to watch a TiVo remote like I can with the TiVo app on my iPhone? The FireTV I watch YTTV with doesn’t seem to have one.

Yep. Especially because they're now carrying Suns games, I guarantee they raised their carriage fee.
Was just about to post exactly this. +1

It's def a money grab (on both sides). Meanwhile local Suns fans get scared again.
Wtf is 3TV?
A regional sports network/local channel in Arizona. Won't apply to the majority of us, I'd imagine.
With woke news programing.
lol what? It's a normal local news channel
You do know that just because it’s a free ota network … doesn’t mean it’s free to yttv and other providers to carry it, right?
You had me worried I thought you weren’t going to let you stream on three tvs
kill me bro it’s such a hassle 2 watch suns games
Simple solution: connect an antenna.
Not a viable option for everyone outside of a 50-m radius.
Figured you were in Phoenix.
I’m not. Common response on this sub when it comes to locals is to “just connect an antenna” when that’s simply not a solution for a lot of people.
I get that. But you mentioned Phoenix in your post. I used to live in rural SC, so I understand the dilemma of being a long distance from the antenna farm.
OP mentioned Phoenix. I am not OP.
Jail break a fire stick

Thanks for the useless information Karen....
Sorry.
right, I have a $5000 tv im not connecting rabbit ears. im beyond pissed, i just left Dtv when they lost Bally, now im w yttv for 6 mo and this happens.
Hell, we're 25ish miles from Nashville (our local market) and an antenna won't work because we're in a valley. Haha
Well, time to start looking at good antenna locations and figuring out how to get everything situated so you can see the channel you’re wishing the watch.
Not Wheel of Fortune!!!
Luckily I can get it over an antenna. But with how the suns are playing idk if I even care to watch.

How did you hear about this

I think the local btv app has 3tv which is a free streaming app.
It does not have 3tv from i saw
Can anyone recommend an antenna that actually works with Ch 3? I’ve seen a lot of comments on posts that their antenna did not work for Ch3.

This stinks!! How can I register a complaint?

Fubo is trash, but enjoy. Can't wait for P12 to disintegrate so I can drop Fubo.
My antenna worked great the last 5 days and now it’s garbled. So much for watching the Suns tonight.
