Cut the cord on my satellite TV earlier this year.

What's the best streaming source available that has SEC Network, and the ESPNs.

Your choice of Hulu or YoutubeTV.

Been with Fubo TV for almost a year now. Guide is a little bit of a pain in the arse but other than that it's been good.

I like YouTube TV. Has all the network channels, ESPNs, SEC network, ACC Network, Big 10 Network, FS1.

Unlimited Recording. They are supposedly releasing a system that allows you to watch 4 channels at once.

Main Gripes: no Bally sports, behind live by a minute, but that’s the case with all streaming.

4 Channels at Once

Don't they block ESPN+ on the national live games during the season because cable providers and streaming services own the rights?

ESPN+ doesn’t include ESPN or SEC Network.

Did not know this, thanks.

Editing my reply.

I think the OP is interested in American football.

I use Youtube TV and its been great. I've tried all of them and Hulu Live TV and Youtube TV have been the best.

Youtube for the unlimited cloud DVR
Hulu Live TV for the prettiest interface
Sling TV - exist
FuboTV - works well, extremely bare bones interface. Did lock up on me frequently during ESPN games but your milage may vary.

I went with FuboTV due to the Astros/Rockets. They have all the ESPNs and what not. Never had an issue with a stream. Very reliable. Seems to be delayed beyond some streams.

I've used Sling the last 3 or 4 years and it's been fine for me. The price started creeping up though, so I'm a new Youtube TV convert now.

My in-laws have Fubo and they really rave about it. My father-in-law is a Pitt alum, and he says they're the only one with ACC network. (Not sure if that's true, but just what I heard.)

I signed up for the NBA plus package and still couldn't watch Hawks games, even road games. Whatever contract Bally has with the cable companies is rock fricking solid. I can only assume they use my regional IP or otherwise know my location in order to block those games out, otherwise how would they know whether I was a Pelicans fan or a Nuggets fan who happened to be playing the Hawks?

Youtube has ACC network. Pretty sure they all do now TBQH.

Looks like the Sling Orange package (sports&news) is only 35/month. youtube and hulu are +/-65/month.

If all you are looking for is college football is there a reason to not use Sling TV? Or am I missing something?

Sling Orange only has ESPN, ESPN2.
Sling Blue only has FS1, FS2, FOX
Sling Sports Extra has SEC Network, ESPNU, ACCN, Big10 N.

The included DVR is only 50 hours. Extra money if you want more.

If you can live without FS1 and FS2 (usually not games I watch much), orange + Sports Extra would be the cheapest option for a football fix. I have no idea how CBS, Fox, and ABC work on there but you can always use an antenna.
