I'm about to cancel cable tv

[bigrice25]

Sports is the only thing keeping me with cable....

i tried cutting it and using XBOX ESPN and streaming but i couldnt do it... i need TNT NBA, and all the NCAA and NFL.

how do you guys get your sports without cable?

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

all i need is the internet and i'm good

the only good thing about cable is being able to watch sports in HD...you can get everything else in high quality. the money you save from cutting cable will go a long way every year.

the content on netflix is fine, you are just not exploring all that is out there. There is literally something for everyone on a consistent basis.

If you have Cable TV? Oh sorry sir, you need to call in and "subscribe" to another package on top of your already damn near $150 a month bill.

You dudes need to stop fronting, what is it that you guys watch that you cannot absolutely live without besides sports? HGTV? Just keep it all the way live...are you watching lifetime?

In fact I do watch HGTV. Call me a fakkit if you will, but tips from that show have my home looking like a million bucks. I get lots of tips off that shyt.

DIY television is good. Lotta useful shows.

Tons of movie channels

Travel Channel has single handedly helped my plan vacations for the last 10 years

TNT - NBA shows alone as some of the best quality TV out.

AMC -great fukking TV right chea.

HBO - no need to expound further on this one

ESPN - Call me crazy but I dont think I could function without this channel availible to me. alot of crap one there for sure, but its essential for alot of the premier sporting events

Comedy Central

NFL Sunday Ticket - if you have to ask me why this is important your a fakkit.

Live 3D TV

Food Central has alot of classic shows. Turned my wifey from a shytty cook to an amazing chef. Rachel Ray be hooking the wifey up with some bomb as culinary concoctions...

Nick JR and Disney for the kids

FOX news, MSNBC, CNN are good namely for the quality of their respective broadcasts. While the actual news being delivered on all three is crap, its nice watching the lastest details on the most recent mass shooting in high quality HD goodness. Seeing dead bodies in SD or the shytty streams online just doesn't deliver the same wow factor, call me crazy.

So yeah, while Cable isn't perfect by a long shot, or entirely necessary for that matter there are still some great channels on cable TV. I pay about $120 a month, which i dont find to bad. Especially for the ease of use and convenience it allows when compared to using internet based media as your sole source for media.

Local cable with an antennae
NBA League Pass
ESPN on Xbox

I'm only going to miss the occasional TNT games, but it's worth it considering how much money I'm saving.

You watch all of that shyt regularly? Everything except for sports is a click away though.

That XBOX ESPN is lacking the shows i like though, i like outside the lines, NFL live and those type shows.

you do save alot because cable is pretty much overpriced.

As long as they have games I don't care about shows.

The app had the damn NBA Playoffs and FINALS on there. That's damn good for something that is free as long as your ISP is cool with it.

Sports is the only thing holding me back from doing it, but its too big of a factor. I really don't watch any original TV programs as they air(I got conditioned this way from not having HBO/Sho/FX on my college cable provider), this season of Breaking Bad is the first I've watched as it aired in years and that's only because I watched the first episode and didn't want to wait for the rest. I watch all my other original TV shows thru torrents, either the same or thru Netflix with movies. But sports is just too big. Its about to be college football/NFL/college basketball/NBA, sitting back in my recliner with a remote and flipping thru all the cable channels that air college games on the weekend, and doing the same with the League Pass channels during the NBA Season>>>>clicking on links. Plus as an Optimum/Cablevision customer I don't even get ESPN3. I know the price is steep but the convenience factor of having cable is too high since I'm a sports addict.

im probably one of the biggest college football fiends on this board

theres sites out there that give you every damn game, even those ones on regional sports broadcasts that you wont even get on espn

i see what you mean though but ill survive hdmi vid card, 42 inch plasma
streams, i honestly think this is the future look at the olympics more people watched online than through television.

hell last year i was watching a hd stream of sat night football and my stream was a g ood 5 seconds ahead what was on my tv

It' gets even better when you're on the right tracker and know how to set uTorrent up on auto feeds of your favorite shows.

and if u on the right tracker, the shows are up 2-5 minutes after they air... fukk a comercial in 720 or 1080

That's terrible considering how damn easy it is to get HBO content by other means (log into HBOGo or just download the series you're following)

Cable TV is pointless now, especially if Google comes through with their internet service.
