Just tried on FSNO and couldn't.

I know some channels you can watch things other than what's playing live, but I just got Sling to try it out this week so I'm no expert

Vue works for me, even though it says FSSW.
Fox Sports go app works too.

Couldn't be happier.

So what are the official results from last night? It looks like:

Sling No
PlayStation Vue Yes but via FSSW and not FSNO

I think Sling works, too, if you are in the NOLA area.

Hopefully a poster here can inform us whether we have the ability to record games. If we do, I'm cutting the chord.

I reset my TD forgotten password to reply to this post b/c these are the same questions I had before I cut the cord. I can't speak for Sling but I do have an antenna I got off Amazon and Playstation Vue.

I was able to watch the Pelicans game on FSSW last night. It was a little confusing because on the guide it said it was airing a college football game. There are little things like mistakes on the guide and brief scrambles on the feed that are a little annoying. I can record things and they will last for 30 days. You can rewind, pause, fast forward. The pause will only stay paused for 10-15 seconds though and doesn't hold a pause in my experience. Flipping channels is now a couple of extra steps b/c I am using my playstation controller for VUE then have to use my TV controller to go to the antenna and flip channels on basic cable. That's annoying on college football days but I've got pretty good at it.

Overall I highly recommend cutting the cord b/c of the savings. The quality is great besides some brief interruptions. I also got the NBA league pass b/c I love the NBA. Vue DOES give you the option of TNT, TBS, FS1, FS2, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC network, NFL Network. I get the main channels (FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.) on the Antenna in HD for free. There hasn't been a NBA, college football, or NFL game I haven't been able to watch so far. Actually I've probably got more than I did when I was paying $180 to Direct TV. The only games that will be blacked out for me are NBA games that come on NBA TV. I'm sure I may run into some issues also when March Madness comes around with their weird channels.

Hope that helps someone.
