We would have tried Sling, except we needed all the local channels. We tried an antenna and just couldn't get the channels...no matter where we tried it. Sling definitely has some great options though.People here are pooping on Sling but it works great for me. It's come a LONG way since it was first announced (remember that it was one the VERY first internet live tv options). They have a DVR option and it is the cheapest of all the options. With the extra sports channel option it only costs me $30 a month. There is a delay but I don't really care. I don't wade into the game threads all that often and I don't text people - so a few seconds delay doesn't bother me. The signal has been strong and consistent for me and the interface has been easy to use on my Roku.
AT&T gigafiber which is probably overkill for streaming to 1 device. Even a 30-50Mb/s internet service should be more than sufficient unless you are streaming to multiple devices at once. Also, other factors may play a role depending if you are using cable or dsl and how many other people around you are using the same service at the same time. Fiber (theoretically) should not be impacted by those around as much as cable or dsl.All of you that are using Hulu or Youtube or ????? what are you using for internet?
Welcome to the club, I am not sure why I didn't cut the cord earlier. When you get back, I just suggest trying the free trials. All of the streaming services offer a free trial. So you can see which interface and channel options you like best. Also, figure out which device you will use to stream it. We use a Roku for each TV.I am done with cable, but I am not dealing with that garbage this week. I will decide on something when I get back from my trip in 3 weeks.
I'm trying to determine how this works. My requirement would a device that has Youtube TV build-in that I can hard wired into my computer network and attach to my TV. Does it work this way???Big YouTube TV fan. Great interface with cloud DVR. Relatively inexpensive and offers all the channels we like.
Not sure I take your meaning. If you purchase YoutubeTV service you would download a YoutubeTV app on your Smart TV, Roku, Amazon Firestick, Google Chromecast, Apple TV, Playstation, or Xbox One and play your content from there. Likewise you can also access your account from your laptop or desktop computer.I'm trying to determine how this works.

$40/month to me seems like a lot but I'm going with Youtube TV today some time. Need a good 24 hour walk-through before games start tomorrow. From all research, it appears that I can use it on me phone, laptop and TV. Thanks everyone for the recommendations. You guys are the best! RTR!!!
Of course, you know certain Kodi add-ons like Sportsdevil and Exodus (and Exodus clones like Placenta) are illegal in the U.S. since they are essentially streaming pirated content. This is why the official Kodi repositories don't carry such add-ons and the Kodi development team won't provide support for any Kodi builds that have them (Kodi itself is perfectly legal of course). And please don't take me the wrong way, I'm not trying to preach about legality, but just wanted to point out that your example is not apples to apples with legit streaming services or cable subscriptions.I cut the cord a couple of years ago. I have our local cable company for networks and PBS. I got a Fire TV stick and downloaded Kodi with Sportsdevil and Placenta (Exodus used to be great but has gone down in the last year). Sportsdevil is great for any football/soccer/NCAAF/NFL game. Sometimes the quality is not optimum if there are too many people watching a certain game. The EPL has 700 million viewers each week around the world so those games can get busy but as NBCSports carries all those games it's not an issue. I have a wonderful neighbor who allows me to use her log in information so I get the ESPNs, NBC Sports (EPL), TNT (Champions League), etc. I have Amazon Prime for entertainment as well as use my son's log in for Netflix. One time cost of $40 for the firestick and $120 year Amazon Prime ($10/mo) and that's it. My local cable provider also provides internet with minimum of 100 megs and for a few dollars more can be 1 gig. I usually go up to 1 gig in football season.
not available for me. it looks like my only choice is comcast (which i currently have)AT&T gigafiber which is probably overkill for streaming to 1 device.
