The homie has cable with all the premiere channels, so I just give him my code for the xbox and he adds it. If you are thinking about cutting cable but want to keep NFL network and ESPN then just get an Xbox one, you can stream both live and get Thursday and Monday night games as long as you know somebody who is willing to add you to their account. You dont need their password or anything just send them the link and your code.
As far as the paid vid services like Hulu and stuff, I know different people with those too.
All I need is somebody with NFL Sunday tix account that allows streaming, and then I can stream every Raider game on the X1
and wont ever have to find a crappy link in shytty ad infested websites anymore
. and I will be set for my digital entertainment needs.
