this also includes TNT, TBS, CNN etc
RIP cable companies. Welcome to 2015.
LOL at the BIG for adding poverty schools like Rutgers and Maryland because in time those TV dollars are going to become peasantry.
My prediction: correct

Most of the cable companies also provide the internet necessary to use this.

Still too expensive
**in non-football times of the season.
No, actually too expensive period.
Do you know how much it costs to stream to people? Not much at all. Just need a server, encoder, and people to watch nodes (users) on trees that - HELP THE STREAM. That's right, most of the work is done by you and your computer.
No sense in paying $20 what is a really cheap...think, your cellphone can do this from GPS...imagine if hardwired.

Damn. Seriously don't know if there's a reason to have cable now

Yeah, you were ahead of the curve. Dan Wetzel for Yahoo also was saying what could kill the cash cow was a la carte packages. I think the typical response will be (I see hat trick already made the argument) that the cable/phone companies will somehow get you in the end by gouging you for the data/usage.

So ESPN won't be offering conferences money based on viewers in a certain area any more?

How in the world is this too expensive? This plus a netflix subscription, and say the basic cable plus HBO package Cox has with their internet, I mean what else would you need?
That would all cost you about $120/month at most including internet and TV options.

I only see ESPN and ESPN2 listed.
I don't see anything about SEC Network or ESPNU. College sports is the thing I care about the most.

Why would I pay $20.00 p/month to watch SportsCenter?
I mean, I can stream games for free now via my cable company, which, on an itemized level, costs less than $20.00 p/month.

I was pretty excited when I first read this.
Then I started doing the math.
After the 1st year, Comcast charges $60/month for 50mbps Internet.
Add in Sling TV and Netflix and that's another $30/month which brings the total up to $90/month.
Right now I have Comcast Internet and cable TV with the preferred package and am paying $112/month.
Is it worth having the $20 savings if my current plan includes NFL Network, ESPNU, Pac-12/SEC/B1G Networks, all of my local channels, plus tons of other channels? Not sure.

No Apple TV and restricted to a single user.
Still has a ways to go.

Can you stream cbs online without having cable?
Posted on 1/5/15 at 2:45 pm to rocket31
Yeah but once you add in taxes and the cost of teh ISP with the bandwidth you'd need aren't you still looking at $80-$100 for internet+espn+Netflix+HBO total?
Posted on 1/5/15 at 2:46 pm to rocket31
If this works in Canada I would pay in a heart beat. $100 for ESPN access to college football would be amazing
