🏈 Sling TV, cutting the cord, and other options for football this year

Any of you know anything about this one?

For those who use Kodi, make sure you're also using a good VPN with it.

Definite must. Most of those streams are only quasi-legal if not flat illegal.

Brewbox is probably illegal. They are basically selling you a prebuilt XBMC/Kodi box for $200. Have a PC? Just install Kodi and some plugins and take your own chances. Use a VPN and never worry about a thing.

I think buying a box and then getting TV programs free for forever is the giveaway. Highly unamerican.

Thanks! I saw this on Facebook and never heard of it. Right now I watch free TV with an antenna, this is why I don't watch any games that not on the big boys. I also have a roku box that I use to watch movies and I have Netflix .

Pretty sure you can get Sling TV with the Roku.

Roku advertises Sling TV on their site and they even have a deal where you can get a Roku2 for free or 50% of Roku3 with 3 month Sling TV Prepay.

Yes it does. @rick4bama I have a Roku 3, with Charter internet and it has a "Watch ESPN" channel that allows me to watch all ESPN programming as well.

I personally think that when ESPN becomes available through a direct subscription several rural cable providers will fold up like a cheap suit!

I had sling last year. And even Charter's 60 meg home package, I still had buffering issues for games. Didn't have an issue any other time, like for TWD on AMC, etc. I'm assuming it's because Saturdays were their busiest days because of CFB, that they had server bandwidth issues.

So, I ended up using Sling creds to log into WatchESPN. CFB was really the only reason I got Sling in the first place. So when charter offered me a bundle deal after having just internet for a couple years, I jumped on that. Maybe by the time my promo is up, Sling will have fixed their bandwidth issues. May already be better now.

I also didn't like the fact that they'd only allow one device per account. They fix that, and the bandwidth issues, I may switch back.

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

They have fixed the one stream per account (mostly) if you go with the $40 package, but it is limited to 3 streams on most things with a few things still only 1 or 2.

 

[rick4bama]

Wife and I have talk about signing up for Sling again. Me for the Bama games, her for movie, hope the bandwidth issues is fix.

If you're still on satellite internet with limited monthly bandwidth, then I doubt it's fixed.
