Now that Frontier, which dropped MLB network a month ago, has dropped FoxSportsSun, I'm pretty much done with them. Raise the price $20 and cut these sports stations. No thanks. Would any of you be willing to PM me and help me work through options that would get me TV plus ESPN, CBSSN, FoxSports and some others. I know you need Hulu+ or some other streaming things to FoxSports. But I'm not up on all the other options. We use a DVR a lot around this house too. Any thoughts on Spectrum as a provider? Thanks to whoever has the patience to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also attest that I live in an area with little to no good internet options and have had very little issues with connectivity and streaming loss.

So you access this through a smart tv or, in my case probably, a DVD player with apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming consoles work too (although you don't strike me as a gamer). In my house I use Smart TV, Roku and PS4 all running the same account Edited September 1, 2020 by BrassBulls12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB12, quick question...I'm about to dump Spectrum TV and enhance my Hulu to live TV. My question has to do with the "ads" version of hulu and how that affects live channels. I assume you have to watch the adds on live tv no matter what level (ads vs. no ads) you have. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my house I use Smart TV, Roku and PS4 all running the same account My problem is that a few years ago I had my TV and sound installed by some guy who has my main TV viewing room on wireless remotes and has about 3 million wires and cables in a closet to have out of sight. The guy was good but has become unreliable and it takes weeks to get him out to reprogram or hook up anything. I've got Chromecast and a DVR and don't know if I could even add a ROKU at this point. I think HULU is on my TV and DVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
