I want to leave Cox. $100 for TV.
Need Live:
Local channels
All ESPN’s
Fox News
CNN
Golf channel

What’s the best way to get all this?


Yes I see the thread at the top. I don’t feel like spending 10 minutes cyphering through it.

Depends on a lot of things.

Local channels will depend on where you live but I wouldn’t base your decision off that. I got a $50 antenna and pick up all the major networks.

Both DTV Now and PS Vue have all those channels. DTV Now, you will need the $60 plan (unless you have unlimited att for cellphone then - $15/mo). PS Vue it’s $45 to get those channels and you can get the sports add on for $10/mo for the fox sports channels and a few others.

I like DTV Now bc it works great on Apple TV and with my att cell, I get it cheaper and free hbo. People like ps Vue too, it works well with Alexa for voice control.

To save $30-$40 a month, that all sounds like a headache.

Signing up for a streaming TV service is a headache? It takes 10 minutes tops and then you save $500/year, every year. I cannot think of a better way to spend 10 minutes. It's a no-brainer. Bonus: no brain = no headache.

I have been happy with Hulu Live TV and have all of these channels, the local channels depend on where you live, but there is a feature on hulu's site that will tell you what local channels you have based on zip code.

Not really, just have to figure out which option is best for you. To make it easier, almost all these services have a 7 day free trial to test it out and be sure.

I also like Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV. It really depends on your streaming device.

If Apple TV, go with Hulu Live TV.
If most everything else, go with YouTube TV.

Buy firestick or ftv

Pay $60 a year for No Sleep IPTV

All 1080 cable, movie, sports packages, PPVs, local regionals too. I left Flawless for them.

I think the site is suppose.tv that will tell you which service best fits your requirements. Put in your market(for locals) then add the channels you want. Pretty easy and informative.

Not true. All the fox sports channels are included in the $45 package, no need for the $10 add-on.

It absolutely is. Went back to cable. Much happier. Cord cutting is a fricking nuisance.

Guess it depends on how you do it.

My direct tv bill/internet was over $140 a month.

Now my internet is $40 and directv now is $10.

So I’m saving $90 a month and get everything I need. And it wasn’t hard at all. Sign up for service and boom there we go.

Also to OP if you prepay for 3 months of directv now you can get a 4K Apple TV for free.

You forgot to mention that directv now price is only for like 3 months . then after that the cheapest package is close to 40 bucks after taxes. Still better than what the cable companies charge for crappy channels.

in my experience you get espn, nbc sports and all the sec networks on the bottom tier comcast package.

the sec channels are only available on top tier packages with satellite companies.

You sure it's all 1080p? I can't seem to find a link for them.

This is what makes the streaming channels so cool. You get the high end channels at cheaper prices. you can get channels like SEC network, national geographic in the 40 dollar packages compared to cable or satellite at much higher prices.

With PSVue you can also add the redzone channel when football starts.
