Frick Dish. I dumped them a few months ago.
I still get KATV. Free.
Netflix, Hulu etc. for me.
Sling TV for football season.
Much money ahead.

I wish I understood how to use sling, hulu, all of these things.

Can it save money from Direct/Dish and how can I watch all of the Hog/Cowboys games on it, etc..

Man I am old and confused.

I pay $61/month for Dish
$9/month for Netflix
$79/year for Amazon Prime

I have Apple TV

How is it possible to still watch the Braves, Rangers, Cowboys, SEC Network, etc. without Dish?

I'm in the same boat, except I'm only 30 so I can't quite lean on the "I'm old" excuse.

We had satellite internet at our house last year (it was all that was available in our neighborhood) and it was terrible and expensive, so I cut it off and we've just been using our phones as hotspots when we need Internet on our laptops. Gets the job done but it's a PITA when working from home, which is an inevitability here and there come snow season.

Apparently Uverse internet is available in my neighborhood now, so cutting the cord may be a reality at my house once football season is over. Has anyone who has cut the cord with cable had any issues catching games during football season?

I had the great idea to try and reduce our tv costs, b/c our FIOS bill is so high and we don't watch much outside of sports. I only watch the news and sports. By the time I went through all of the things we would need to buy and suscribe to, it cost as much and we still had to go without. My musts are all of the ESPN channels and secn, and his are the NFL Network, HBO, whatever channel that walking dead show is on and Fox sports channels, so there's not supposed cutting the cord for us. One stop shop and we'll worth the $ for us.

Oh, and outdoor antennas aren't an option where I live, so that's out the door for us.

I love how many people in that thread are using their parents log ins.

That is the opposite of cutting the cord.

A lot of these set ups work, but we have 4 tvs in our house. That throws a huge wrench in it for us on top of the other stuff I posted.

Yea, but how do you watch ESPN without a legit log in?

I'm looking forward to seeing how Sling handles the load of college football. I've been using it for months without any problems, and so far I love it.

For those of you looking at how to get ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, etc without cable/sat, check Sling TV out HERE. You need decent internet, and a supported device (I use a roku) if you don't want to use a computer. Cost $25 for basic pack + sports pack.

TL;DR if your looking to drop cable/sat but live sports are holding you up, this is the best option out there.
