With the addition of ESPN, Slingtv became an instant player in the market. I seem to recall UT being on the SEC network a few times. More often in hoops. If Sling adds SEC network and most importantly FOX. I could be persuaded to ditch directv. My wife OTOH has to have the ability to record so that's a sticking point. Still this is a welcome development. Interested to see how it goes. Frankly the day of cable and sat dish networks is nearing an end. Streaming all Netflix, Hulu and sling are the way of the future. Just a matter of time.

I'm in a rural area and my ISP has yet to give me a limit. My kids both live in Atlanta, have limits and stream netflix and hulu for their primary TV viewing and according to them, they've never reached their limit. Having said that, you do raise a good point. Can they handle it if more folks start streaming exclusively? I wonder with the push for more 4K content if ISP's will be the bottleneck? Again, a good point.

Its amazing when you think about the businesses and industries eliminated by Amazon and Netflix, two companies that started out selling online books and mail order DVD rentals

It depends on how many channels you want and how many rooms, but you can keep your bill below $100 and still have all the extra features.

One way to save is by bundling your bills with Directv and AT&T.

Another is that as a Directv customer you can refer others to Directv and get $100 off your bill. You can do that up to 10 time per year which comes out to $1,000 off each year.

Direct would be ok if you didn't have to pay 10-25 dollars per month for "advanced receiver fee", which is just a way to charge for HD programming. Now they are also charging for the first receiver, where it used to be free. so you might as well add 17 to 32 dollars to your monthly bill just for those little extras.

Thought about leaving Charter for Dish as soon as I saw they blocked Faux News. If they'll give me a package that also ditches CNN and MSNBC but still has ESPN, I'd drop Charter in a heartbeat.

Sports are pretty much the only reason to have cable. I cut the cord in December and got a Roku and an HD antenna. Missing a bunch of bowl games was the only thing that hurt even a little. I'd pay $10 a month just to stream ESPN, ESPN 2, and SEC Network during football season. Dish can keep the other crap.
