Last time I had cable it was $9.99 a month.
Modern Man—ESPN (funny song)

“Some guys are in red shirts, some guys are in green...Life is for losers, sports is your friend. And who’s got more sports on than ESPN?..And there’s synchronized swimming and polo ahead, there’s wrestling for morons, and golf, for the dead”
And yet, by some magical method, they remain a non-profit organization.
Roku plus streaming services. 40% of cost, better entertainment.
So glad I cut my Cable TV 3 years ago...
Paying for lefty broadcasts is a complete waste of money.
The market needs to change to al la carte.
Let me pay for the channels I WANT to watch. And not for the 78 other
channels I don’t want to watch.
I’m doing my part: I won’t watch any 49’ers games until they get rid of Mr. Ungrateful.
this is going to come out much more harsh than I really intend, but people that get their panties in a twist over their cable/directv bill either need something more important in their lives to get upset over, or their whole lives are a wreck already.
and the little faggy roku box certainly isn’t an answer to any problem worth seriously worrying over.
NOPE.
It's why I cut the cable almost a year ago.
Never been happier... Got faster internet in the bargain.
We don’t watch NFL and most college football, only Giant baseball, never watch basketball, hockey, horse racing, NASCAR, rowing, rugby, soccer and volleyball — even Little League championships and poker games.
We don’t speak Spanish, Chicom, or any language besides English. So we don’t watch the increasing number of non English Channels.
Yet, our Comcast Bill is over $225/month and will be eliminated with Roku and Sling soon.

This is a brand new AT&T streaming service that just started about a week ago. It’s basically in Beta now, but if you sign up now for $35 per month, you get the third tier with over 100 channels (quite a few that I actually watch) and you’ll be grandfathered in at $35 instead of $60 after the intro period. Also, if you go ahead and pay the first month, you’ll get a free Amazon Fire Stick (about $40 value) or prepay 3 months and get an Apple TV box (about $150 value). No contract also. I’ve been streaming to a first generation Chromecast and it works great. The app is still a work in progress and switching channels is a bit slow, but the service is new and bound to improve. If you don’t want a free device to stream to, they have a trial period of a week.
The video quality appears to be the same on my 65 inch Sony 4k TV as the video from Dish Network. Looks promising so far.
Talk about needing a life!
It won't stay that way if people like Kaepernick keep using it as a liberal platform.
Which explains why there are about 500 College Bowl Games now.
ESPN is killing college football.
Last year was great, when they played SMU in Dallas. I live about 15 miles from the campus.
The biggest problem is lack of competition.
I’m lucky in this regard, as our neighborhood is wired for both FIOS and Cox Cable. They’re both trying to win market share, and they both offer pretty good deals and extras to get it.
I compare that with my sister’s home, which has one provider and poor service. Her cable quality, options and software are about 10 years behind ours, and more expensive.
Is that some new legislation that's going through Congress? :)
