Any Other Cord Cutters Out There?

[slick1ru2]

Looks like my wife has now gotten used to not having Dish so to save the $150/month we aren't getting it back. I do have Comcast internet so I get ESPN3. Is that going to cover most of the televised USF games with the new TV contract. Didn't watch too much of the disaster last year and don't recall what channel showed the games I did watch.

I've tried to cut the cord but the only thing holding me back is USF football and basketball.  

 

And no, that won't cover most of the USF televised games. You'll be able to watch when games are broadcast on ESPN 3 and not the other ESPN channels.

Internets and bars will cover everything.

I cut the cord drastically! 

 

I use Verizon FiOS and returned my set-top boxes - only using the internet connection [150d/65u]. Then I purchased the Roku 3! Great device, and for local programming, I use a HD antennae. 

 

However, for ESPN (and HBO GO) - I use my sister's subscriptions to watch the programming. The ESPN app works without a cable subscription if you only watch ESPN3. The ESPN is not very reliable however... (with promises to improve streaming services)... Live and previous games are all available. 

 

The Roku 3's other apps are amazing and extremely reliable.

I haven't had cable television for 2 years. No ESPN for 2 years. I use some European streaming site that has EVERY college football game (and most other sports, quality not the greatest but good enough) and go to bars or friends.

I find other ways to fill my time besides TV. I do miss it sometimes, but I think overall it's better not to have it because it costs time and money but returns little in the way of truly fulfilling life experiences or day to day necessity.

I thought this was an obstetrics thread

Yeah, I guess I can find the bootleg feeds for the non-ESPN3 games. I do know ESPN3 will have the games up afterwards regardless of the ESPN network. I wish they had the AAC spring games. Sucks to look for them and only find ACC and SEC teams.

 

And yeah, we have two Roku 2 as well as a smart TV,  laptops connected to the TVs, PS3s and an XBox360.

mlb.tv...and netflix are about all I use. Oh, and European sites for USF games.

I cut mine awhile back. Went from $129 a month to just Internet at $49 a month now. Between Xbox Live and the Mohu Leaf (gets me 39 channels) I need nothing. We also use our friends netflix account lol
