What about ESPN? Are you using Aunt Ezra's comcast password? That is my only issue in these threads. The O-T is always ripping people for being cheap, but then you have all the millennials on here jumping through hoops to get a stream for their favorite thing in the world (sports) in order to save $50-100 per month.

quote:sling tv sucks arse. it is cheaper but cheaper for a reason. it buffers like crazy, crappy UI or it just freezes on you. i thought it might be my internet speed but PS Vue works like a champ. i had sling for a year and a half thinking it might improve. it did not. spend the extra $10 and go for PS Vue.
Sling TV looks very appealing, cheap and gives me the channels

He said he something big happens he gets a text or tweet before he gets to see it on his TV.

I guess the point you want to know at the exact time it happens.
There's roughly a 7 second delay anyway due to operational inefficiencies and purposeful delays by the network. You're only watching it real time when attend the game. Even then, some science gurus will tell you that it takes a few milliseconds for the light to reach your eyes..

Watch them on kodi. They are usually there pretty quick
My friend has Kodi, and i watched an MMA fight at his house on it and he constantly had problems getting a good feed throughout the broadcast. Is this bc it was ppv or is it like this on other live sports broadcasts?

definitely understand where you are coming from Bunk. Won't be an issue once espn finally gets their steam service up in 2019 I'm sure
I might as well use my dad's because he's paying for it and has no idea watchESPN exists

I've had DIRECTV for years and love it.

but a friend of mine says that on live sporting events there is usually a 20-30 second delay from actual real time
thats a lie

Recently added DIRECTV Now which gives me a good mix of channels.

, I have. I've looked up the box score on my phone halfway through a game before to see how a guy is doing. Get to the stat line and say to myself, he didn't have a 60 yd reception. Then... 
My nephew thinks I'm a gotdang genius when this happens.

$50/month for internet $10/month for netflix and a $20 dollar antenna. I also have Amazon prime so I get all of those; as well as a buddy's HBOGo password.

You're going to have those issues with ESPN products that aren't on ABC. Anything else you can get from a digital antenna (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, etc)
