I’ve already cut the cord for over 98% of what I want to view (see previous postings), but I must admit I am not a Sports Nut and not at all worried about watching sports in realtime.
Even a lot of the sports channels are available on streaming servers if you search hard enough, just not many of the ones most seem to want to watch as they happen. I am not an expert in this area but I always seem to be able to find EU sports channels streaming whenever I search for online channels. Perhaps you could look up your local channels and see if they have a live feed up. You might be surprised at how many do, and you can then access more local fare or perhaps a game or two on weekends depending upon the channel.
In Atlanta, you would think the market is large enough for each local to have a live stream, but the only one I can see is WSB... We are in the “fringe” reception range for the locals and I might look for a high-gain over-the-air antenna, but with the thunderstorms we get every summer, that’s asking for trouble with even a strike nearby (how I lost a SW radio).
We’re not big on sports either — mainly because every time I watch the Braves, they lose. So I have made a personal commitment to stop watching & jinxing them.
The channel lineup on Playstation Vue has all the history, discovery, science, etc channels that we like to watch. So I’ve got my fingers crossed that when it launches, it comes in at a subscription price competitive to Sling TV. If it does, we’re on it.
