Anyone have suggestions on how I could watch LSU games, and most college games for that matter, when I’ve ditched cable/satellite tv? From my understanding watch ESPN app only works when you have a cable tv provider to sign in with. Is there some cheaper online subscription I could sign up for that would allow me to get most CFB games? Looking for suggestions. Thanks.

This works too.

YouTube TV may have more accessibility though.

How’s the streaming during games? Is it legit with a decent internet speed?

Sling is great. With that you can get all the ESPN/ABC games plus games on FS1. Not sure how much simply getting the sports package would cost, as I have a lot of other stuff - Prob no more than $10-$12/month. Also, for CBS games, you can get CBS all access during football season. It's ~$5/month.

It's as good as live YouTube videos. Hi-Def.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!! I see that both sling and YouTube tv are comparable with price and options. Are either one of the two much better than the other? Or about the same?

I don't have YouTube TV, but my friend does and he loves it. He only watches sports on TV so he got that, it's cheaper and he can watch it on any device.

I have Directv. But I have two kids and a wife, so I'm kind of forced into a standard cable box type reception. If I was single I'd definitely get YouTube because it would save me like $120/month.

Don't ever let anyone tell you kids are priceless... They're pretty damn expensive

YouTube Tv is Google.

Sling is Dish Network.

Not bashing Sling, but I would go with Google. They have like 15 years experience in online streaming video. They're pretty good at it.

I typically watch them on something called a Television Set. People sometimes call it a "T.V." (pronounced "tee vee").

Reddit is free. Stream isn’t usually the greatest

YouTube TV is much better than Sling. You can have up to 6 users watching online TV at the same time and cloud recording your favorite shows for viewing later with YouTube TV.

PSVue is another service similar to Sling and YouTube TV. YouTube TV isn’t available where I’m at yet. At least it wasn’t a few months ago. Directv Now and Apple TV are others. I have PSVue and stream everything without any issues. Cox internet.

If you need more than 1 stream at a time you will have to go with the $40 package on Sling.

If you're a gamer and are already on PSN I recommend Vue.

Ultimately all the streaming options are pretty solid. All depends on your needs and preferences, but there has never been a better time to consume sports content.

I'll bash Sling. The audio never synced with the video. You'd here the bat hit the ball before it ever left the pitchers hand. And TV shows were like those old Kung Fu movies.
