yea like what happened with watchespn during the national semi final.

Watchespn can go from good hd to barely visible in not time unless you are on an XBONE.

Or you can have it in perfect hd on tv and not be behind the real time broadcast like with streaming. Gota love getting a phone update on a game before you see it streaming.

The best live sports streaming quality is NFL game pass.

And HD slingbox would be better than these options.

Sling TV will be a "personal subscription service," meaning it can only be used on a a single device at a time, unlike other services like Netflix.

yea just get a vpn and then buy game pass

it is still about a min behind the live broadcast.

They just added it to the NFLapp on XBONE. It looks amazing.

Because they aren't paying $120 a month anymore for cable and using a friend's password to get sports and paying $10 a month for Netflix. Once that goes away, and it will, then cable again becomes the much better option because it is soooo much better than streaming.

I have 100 plus download speeds and it still sometimes blurs up. It just depends on what game you are watch and how many people are watch it.

In the UK how they ditch the people sharing passwords and multiple people logging in is sky lets to register to devices to that account and thats it.

What happens when they come up with stricter logins for devices and you then have to pay for WatchESPN or any other streaming channel?

like? I use my parents login info. They don't even have internet, so limiting the number of devices wouldn't affect me

and if they did, I'd pay for it if it was reasonably prices, if not, I just wouldn't watch sports as much, or I would only pay for it during college football season, then cancel it each year

just wait if they create internet fast lanes.

bet your arse espn streaming will be one of them

you will still being paying a good amount at the end. Internet service, then various fast lanes packages for whatever sites you want to stream and then what ever subscriptions you want.

Kind of what I'm doing. I know it won't last forever. But I also feel that people will resort back to cable before it is all said and done because it is a superior platform.
