sports are the only reason i havent cut the cord

CUT! 

Use an amped antenna for all local tv and netflix for whatever else we may want to watch. We'll be at every BULLS home game and Selmon's for the away games that we don't travel to.

Buc's will be on local tv every week, or I won't be watching.

Ray's?

 

Local TV only plays a handful of games... Hockey? Nope.  College football? Well, there are four games each Saturday have a few... but what about all the games on the ESPN family? Fox1 and Fox2? NBC Sports Channel and CBS Sports Network?  (If USF isn't playing, I watch college football from 9:00am Gameday until well after Midnight... Saturdays in the fall are my favorite time of the year!)

Until these games are all available online, I will be a cable customer.

I'm the same way. I'll watch Kent State vs Toledo football over anything not CFB. Plus there's games on almost every night of the week from Sept-Dec.

 

My wife and I can find plenty of things to do without giving money to the cable company. Home games are an all-day affair with tail gate plans. Friday night BULLS game? Saturday round of golf and dinner, then Sunday I'll watch the Bucs, unless WBB is playing at the dome, then we'll be there.

I'll admit, it does take a little getting used to.

I'm thinking about doing this soon since my FIOS contract runs out soon. It seems like I only watch about 7-8 channels and it's a complete waste of money...What do you use? Something like the Mohu Leaf and Roku combo?

I could never do it. Too much CFB to watch on ESPN and CBS Sports. Roku works well for ESPN3 but that is all I use the device for. NetFlix sucks ass with its B movies and repeat of low brow reality shows.

I'm out of the area so I don't see a way of watching our games without cable.

My combo now is HBO GO, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, and newly added SlingTV...

 

SlingTV gives ya ESPN, EPSN2, and EPSN3 and you can pay an extra $5 for all the ESPN lineup and some others. Been watching a lot of good tennis lately...

I find it funny that if this thread was actually on topic it would probably be only 20 pages long...

That actually sounds pretty good...as the kids move out of the house in the next few years and I can travel to more usf games this may be something I look into.

I have slingtv and the big downside is the don't offer channels I need like cbssports. The other downside is during peak hours it buffers or stops working and becomes useless. Not sure I'm keeping it year end.

That's a pretty all encompassing title ... 350-400 easy.
