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.

Yeah you only get so much time to watch them though. Plus I think you need a cable provider log in.

So they offer a streaming-only option? That's pretty great.
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.

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

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.
