You get access to on Demand if you have cable with them. My brother has cable with them, so I have his login for the on Demand stuff.tragabigzanda wrote:So they offer a streaming-only option?

Didn't you find the channel packages a little irritating for sling? Seems like Vue is the better option.

Re: Cord Cutters Unit
I did a trial to watch a world cup qualifiers on beIN and had to select a package with like 30 Spanish channels just to get it. beIN should have been lumped with the sports package. Seemed shady on their part.

called the cable/internet company and was able to keep the cable i have now, plus double my internet speed for about $70 less a month...did have to sign up for a year service agreement, but i think it's worth it
