GamingGlen Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I cut the cable cord this spring and currently have no subs to any service. What might be the best option to watch the Huskers stomp our opponents? Going to a local bar and ask management to turn on one TV to the game or find a streaming service or 3 to pay through the nose for? 1 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Finding a relative who'll lend you their cable login Aside from that, check out Sling, or Hulu. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
RavHuskr Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I have Hulu live its $50 a month but has BTN Fox and ESPN so any channel we would play on as well as the local channels. Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I have PlayStation Vue, it's $54.99 a month but it's still cheaper than comparable cable for me. I get ESPN, BTN, Fox, ESPNU etc. All the channels we could possibly play on. Quote Link to comment
Calvin Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 YouTube TV. Haven't missed a game and you can gift it to up to five other people. 6 1 Quote Link to comment

This is fine if you have a separate WiFi or just want to watch on your phone, but if you use your phone as a hotspot Hulu Live won't allow you to stream to a TV, unless it changed in the past year.

r06ue1 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Yeah, YouTube TV (https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/) was really great, lets you choose your favorite teams and it records the games for you. Has the major sports networks (BTN, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPN News and Fox Sports/FS1/FS2). Free trial and $49.99 a month. 2 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 There's a very similar thread in the Tech forum about this topic FYI. But, FWIW, I've had YouTubeTV for more than a year and love it. $50 is decent for all the major sports channels and networks - ABC, CBS, NBC, all the ESPN's, NBA TV, MLB Network, etc. They also have the Discovery network of channels, I never miss an F1 race now, AND they gave all long time members several months of Showtime for free until September. Works beautifully on my Smart TV with Chromecast. I've never had connection or streaming quality issues with it, either. 3 Quote Link to comment

Really? How do they even detect that? I've used my phone's hotspot as my primary internet connection for ages and never had a problem like that. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have cable with all channels and 100 mbps internet for $125/month....are people that worried about saving $25? I get all incomes and what not are different, not trying to sound snobby, but I hate the streaming services. They are usually slightly delayed and eat up your internet service. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 For sports check out Fubu. https://www.fubo.tv/welcome I cut the cord and use Direct TV Now. Some issues for sure, but saves money over cable with Spectrum... Quote Link to comment

Apparently it has to do with location as Hulu Live will only let you stream at your home location, but I guess the IP address with WiFi hotspots covers too large of an area and is not exact enough to be the same as your home location. This is their horrible attempt at making sure no one shares logins. Quote Link to comment

Some of us don't like crappy cable boxes and paying extra for DVR. I also like the flexibility to be on vacation or in my car and being able to pull up a game. The less I have to deal with Spectrum the better. 2 Quote Link to comment
