Do you recommend sling tv?
Click to expand...

I like Sling, although have considered checking out YouTubeTV, as others have mentioned. I have an Amazon Firestick for inert and ava Roku stick for the other, and you get as lot more channels in Sling with the firestick. I

But yeah, Sling is way cheaper than cable or satellite, and no contracts. And you can get all the ESPN/SECN channels, and all the movie channels for much cheaper than cable/satellite. You just need to be sure you have high speed internet.

A little bit more information. Apparently, the route out is under water so they'd have to teach the kids to dive to get them out. Cave diving is very dangerous even for experienced divers so they're trying to decide on bringing them out or provide food/water until the water recedes more.

Thanks for the article link.

Yeah that’s understandable about trying to dive underwater with these kids. Huge risk there. I would think they can survive just fine being provided the necessary food/water/clothes..

But man I bet those kids just want to get the hell out of that cave

SIAP - Mauer finished 5th at the Elite Eleven per thread in FF. Looks like more proof we are getting a quality QB.

Do any of the "cord cutting" options have a DVR-type ability yet? That's my biggest hurdle by far. For most sporting events, I wait at least an hour to start it so that I can skip commercials and halftime.

PS Vue does and I use it regularly.

I think they all do. I continue to procrastinate but I've pretty much made the decision to cut the cord. Right now, I'm leaning towards YouTube.

A picture of the boys upon their rescue has been posted on BBC.com. Apparently the water is rising again and they're dealing with a great deal of mud obviously.

They appear to still be plotting as to how to extract them. From the article...

"The first priority is to get them medical treatment and food where they are, to rebuild their strength."

Everything is positive so far but still some work to do.

yeah, they all have some offering of it. Sling has a cloud DVR that's like $5/month.

i don't miss it though, b/c they all have a pretty good on demand feature. and you can watch replays on ESPN app whenever.

Jake...do you have an "old style" aerial antenna or are you getting everything via the internet?

OK, so I currently have DirecTV in 5 rooms with DVR. If I wanted to cut it and go with Playstation Vue, I know I'd need to sign up for the service.

Is my understanding correct in the following:

Additionally, I'd need some sort of streaming device, like a Roku stick. Using that stick, I'd install the PSV app (and any other on-demand apps I'd like) and that is how I'd access my content. And, since I would like my local channels, I'd need an HD antenna.

Is that it? Would I have everything I'm used to this way?

My current internet is 50mbps. Would I need to bump that up?

Yes, I believe you've got it covered. I'm currently in a very similar situation with DirecTV, with 4 TVs with DVR capability.

FYI...most, if not all, options have a DVR service available.

I'm thinking you might need to pump up your internet speed/connection, if it's available.

Lastly, I've read and been told by a business acquaintance the quality of the local stations over a HD antenna is fantastic. The acquaintance said the improvement in the broadcast was like seeing a HD picture for the first time.

As I mentioned earlier, I've been procrastinating but have done quite a bit of research...hopefully, my advice will prove to be accurate.
