LindaH Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 In preparation for the Westminster Dog Show in June, I've been trying to figure out how we can watch it by streaming. I know I can watch it if I subscribe to something like Fubo TV or Hulu + Live TV, but those are expensive. I can also download the Fox NOW app, but there's a hitch -- they require you to have a subscription to a TV provider. We're currently Dish customers, so I could sign up now for Fox NOW using my login information for Dish. But we're planning on cancelling Dish in the very near future. So what happens in June when we no longer have Dish? Would we still be able to view Fox NOW?

Dutch_12078 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 You may be able to find a service that carries the dog show that has a free trial that would cover the length of the show. Just remember to cancel in time not to get charged.

Chalkie Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I don't think you need worry. This is from the Fox Now app description on Amazon. Quote To get the most out of FOX NOW, sign in with your participating TV provider account. We support providers including Xfinity, DIRECTV, DISH, COX, Hulu + Live TV, Spectrum, Youtube TV, Verizon FiOS, FuboTV, DIRECTV Stream, SlingTV, and more. No provider? You can view unlocked FOX shows that include up to the latest 5 episodes of new shows; returning FOX shows unlock 8 days after airing. That sounds to me as though there are a number of "providers" and you are not limited to Dish. I just went to the Firestick app store and went to the Fox Now app it let me start watching no login required but I do have an active Youtube TV subscription.

LindaH Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I know it's not limited to just Dish as a TV provider, but once we cancel Dish, we'll have no TV provider -- just streaming. I have Youtube and Hulu, but just the basic subscriptions, not the ones that include live TV such as Youtube TV or Hulu Plus Live TV. I would have to upgrade my subscription to one of them. I don't know the cost of YouTube TV, but Hulu Plus Live TV is ~$70 a month. Of course, like you say, I could sign up for the month of June and then go back to the basic subscription.

"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Well, think you are likely going to have to have a subscription of some sort. When you offer ad free or ad limited streaming you have to have to some way of generating revenue. I guess it will be up to you to pick out the service that provides you the most benefit, but I do not see anyway of watching it without a subscription somewhere.

LindaH Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I've checked Fubo TV, Sling, Hulu + Live TV, Vidgo, and Youtube TV. All of them offer FS1, which is the channel I'm interested in, so I wouldn't have to worry about Fox NOW.

I suppose you could time it so as to use a service during a free trial, for example Sling offers a 7 day trial, and then cancel at the end of the subscription.

LindaH Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Yes, I know they are subscription services, ranging in price from ~$35 to ~$70. LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Linda, we have Sling TV Blue and it has FS1. $35.00a month but you could get that month and cancel after using a special introductory offer. We spend way too much on streaming services. We're going to start doing that too. https://www.sling.com/?AID=12167793&PID=9069228&SID=oc5A05L8E%2FcFrofF6SHThF85jnMkiBrOIH5TzlAeANLOEbjUevFmlBA6TzC8whZ5&cvosrc=affiliate.cj.9069228&adid=12167793&af=1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=cj&utm_campaign=9069228&utm_content=12167793&cjevent=22390cd2a1c711ec83eca5280a1c0e10&partner=22390cd2a1c711ec83eca5280a1c0e10 RV/Derekhttp://www.rvroadie.com Email on the bottom of my website page.Retired AF 1971-1998 When you see a worthy man, endeavor to emulate him.
