I never come in this thread but I have a question. I never watch cable tv and only continue to have it because of sports. I've been told to try out sling tv so I just checked it out. I can get all the sports channels I want for like $40 a month but no CBS (not that I saw). So how do you people that use other methods other than cable get all your football games?
Has anyone used sling? If not, what do you suggest to be my most cost efficient way to cut cable but get all the sports I need

Edit: sorry to interrupt important topics of discussion for my inquiry about how I can be cheap and still watch what I wanna watch haha

Up until the last year I thought such a line was just something old farts like us said about the world they lived in regardless of the times

But think about this. Chatt strong was a year ago yesterday and it's almost forgotten. Way too many incidents since then to even list them all

So sadly post like the above really do mean more than ever before. There really is only ONE hope!

We just tried sling but we do watch tv but like to record our shows so we can watch them later. Sling doesn't provide that option. I thought Sling had all the networks. I know if you have the sports package you should also get the SEC Network and be able to see UT games. If you don't watch a lot of TV, Sling would probably work well for you.

Does it have CBS? I saw it has all the sports networks including SEC but I couldn't find CBS on any of the plans

We cancelled it because it wasn't right for us but I thought I remembered it having NBC, ABC, and CBS. I could be wrong though.

I use SlingTV and like it a lot. It's not perfect and doesn't have recording options, but you can pretty much watch anything that has recently come on tv pretty easily.

Also as far as local channels like CBS go, those are already free. We just bought a $15 antenna and taped it to the window and we get CBS, NBC,
FOX and PBS and whatever else. It can be tricky at first finding the right spot for the best reception, but we found ours and haven't had any trouble with it in awhile.

And if for whatever you did have trouble one day, you can always watch CBS games live on cbssports.com if all else fails.

My only real problem with Sling is that I can't get NFL Redzone. Everything else we've pretty much learned to make work.

Thanks for the info. I may try the trial for a little bit and see how I like it. I have a ps4 too so I may try PlayStation Vue as well

The only time I watch TV anymore is when Football is on. I will be getting Sling TV in August again like lasr year. Also, they have a promo now for a free Roku 2 or half off a Roku 3. The Apple TV promo is $89. I'm going to try and see if I can get a free Roku 3 :).

The republican national convention is hilarious. Can't even believe it really. If this was a movie people wouldn't even think it was clever. It's all too insane and over the top.
