are you rich?

[96583UP]

i use apple tv instead of paying for cable

my parents gave me their Fios password

but I have like 2nd gen apple tv so I dont get the latest channels

if it's like $100-200, one time, good for several years; rather than like $1XX per month, forever; then its totally worth it

Nice! We haven't looked back since making the switch in August.

I tried a 7 day trial of Sling to get the USA soccer game on beIN this week. Sling seems to want to make you pick packages. Pretty disappointing you can't just pick 20 channels you want.

anyone with a good Sling experience?

I just renegotiated a new package with Comcast and then I hear about how ps vue has NESN and MLB Network.

Do any of these cord cutting options have NFL games yet?

Aren't most NFL games on broadcast television, and therefor available for free over the air in stunning true 1080p hd?

I live in a valley. I've tried mid-range antennas and got almost nothing. Maybe I'll look at the badass ones, but two games a week are on cable.

That's what you get for living outside of civilization.

when does the NFL deal with direct tv expire?

[Monkey_Driven]

Vue now has NFL Network, MLBTV, NBA TV, and all of the major sports networks. It even has local broadcast and sports channels (ie. Fox Sports North) for several large markets.

[Norah]

yeah MLBNetwork and NESN were the only things keeping me tied to cable.

I pay about 100 bucks a season for MLBtv to get all of the out of market games streaming. I'd pay a bit more for that if they'd stop blacking out local games and also stream MLBNetwork.

But now that I know about PS Vue I'll be dropping cable as soon as I'm contractually able to.

The nice thing about more and more streaming options coming to play is that they are month to month and much easier to drop if they lose channels. I'm very intrigued by what Hulu has in the works and what the channel lineup will be.

[Strat]

I dont fucking miss cable at all.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
