The search function is terrible.

Did anyone here cut the chord? If so, how do you watch Pels games? Does Sling TV get FSNO? I'll hang up and listen.

It's been confirmed on PlayStation Vue. Sling does list Fox Sports in it's Blue and Orange + Blue packages. Outside of that or using someone else's FSGO login, you'll be relying on illegal streaming, which my preseason experience reminded me sucks both in quality and hassle.

Really wish I could cut the cord and reliably watch the Pels/LSU in crystal clear HD.


I fricking hate cox cable so much but I am unaware as to how to get the live sports I watch on my TV in uninterrupted HD.

Most people on the Tech Board that have tried PlayStation Vue seem to be pretty happy with it and think it's better than Sling. Vue has FoxSports for the Pels and ESPN for some LSU. It is missing TNT and NBA TV plus the local channels. You'd need an antenna for Saints on Fox and LSU games CBS. LINK /

My Vue here in BR has FSSW, not FSNO, which is just stupid b/c FSSW is Dallas based. WHy would I care about the Stars/Rangers/Mavs? Could have at least given the Houston affiliate.

I have a feeling I won't be watching Pels games unless I try Kodi, which usually sucks, or they are on national tv.

I don't know if it will be on the Fox Sports Go app. Doubt it though.

That's odd, VermillionTiger said he was able to get FSNO when I had him check in one of those threads. Definitely let us know if you're able to watch it tonight :prayerssent:

Just check Reddit NBAStreams religiously.

Every once in a blue moon there will be an amazing stream that doesn't have a lot of pop/ad bullshite.

But most of the time its crap.

Maybe it shouldn't be, but this is the deal killer for me.


I watch a LOT of NBA on TNT and while I don't mind going to a bar or something to watch the LSU game, it would kind of suck if that was my only option.

How reliable are HD antennas?

The 2014 season was great with ballstreams.

I signed up for Sling for the month. FSNO is listed (along with about 20 other Fox Sports channels).


I'll report back tonight if it works.

If watching on a computer works for you, TNT does stream it's NBA games from it's own web site. LINK

It's not missing TNT. It doesn't have NBATV though.

Depends where you live and what's around you. If you don't have a ton of trees around your house to block your view to the satellites, then it's extremely reliable.

Playstation Vue has TNT and all of the channels listed above. Just have to get the middle or upper tier package thats like 5-10 more dollars. I watched Spurs/Warriors on PSVue last night.

Much thanks. Are you in Orleans? Also, does a TiVo DVR work with it for playback etc?

I'm in the New Orleans tv market.


I'm not sure about the TiVo question.

Gotcha, thanks.

Regarding the DvR, just trying to see if you have one set up with Sling, and if so how it works. If not, does sling give you the ability to rewind or record.
