Cutting cable
« on: September 01, 2018, 12:47:16 PM »
Has anyone here cut cable and still been able to watch every game?

I really want to get rid of TW but afraid to miss out on some games.

Anyone?

I think Youtube TV will get you there, if not very close.
it has all the sports channels. $40 a month; then you can share it with your family - essentially you can save a lot of dough if you split it with a sibling, etc.

Just get wifi; YoutubeTV and you have what you need all the major channels, all the sports channels and other most-watch cable tv channels.

the only rub:  no MSG - so no Knicks.

I've basically cut the cord even though I have cable because I didn't even hookup the box. I have MLB TV, HBO Go, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I watch all of our games on my phone or tablet with the ESPN or Fox Apps using my cable log-in. If I stop being lazy I'll cancel cable and use a family member's.

Reddit streams also has pretty awesome and high quality streams of most sports. I've watched some UFC PPV events as well as some blacked out Mets games and I've been really impressed. I don't know how that will be for SJU basketball though.

I have been able to watch games on Hulu. They carry Fox Sports.

Direct TV is the answer, has all the games and nonsports selection is far superior

It's really excellent.  So remember, you can sign up for a 'family' plan, and then invite five other people.  So, on one email, you can have multiple devices playing Youtube TV at once - two tvs; your cell phone, your laptop....

Separately, you can give it to your siblings, parents, etc.  Split the bill, don't split the bill - everyone wins.
