Sport surge provides a list of 10-20 streaming sites to choose from, the best ones are HD quality. As long as you have a strong internet connection, no buffering issues either

Forget most of the services. Just need espn + or a friends login. And Pluto tv.
If you want the other stuff just switch them on and off. Like there is nothing on hbo rt now im watching so I canceled it. Will go back when something good comes out.

Youtube TV with the other services. worked great for me

Yes YTTV and/or FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV are the way to go. Just kinda swapping traditional TV from the 80s, 90s and early 2000's with "internet TV" now.
That being said, I still didn't understand or get if the OP needed ALL NFL games? If so, you'll have to stick with DISH or whoever it is that broadcasts EVERY game.
YTTV and the others are just going to stick to your local coverage of NFC/AFC games. Somehow, someway the NFL still has not done a package even though EVERY other sport has one. Such as MLB.tv, every soccer game in MLS is on ESPN+, etc etc.

If I didn’t watch sports, cord cutting would be so easy.
I looked into YouTube TV but it’s no cheaper than my contract price with Spectrum. Now when that runs out different story. But right now it’s the best deal.

Starlink internet for $110 a month has been giving me very good speeds both up and down(works great on gaming with low ping). I love it and since I live in the middle of no where with the only option before being DSL at less than 1mb down speed... Yeah it was a clear choice to pay the extra money. I can now watch anything I want on my PC.
UFC fights, movies, TV shows...... I consume way more content than I did before on slow internet and Dish TV.
Waiting in line for my number to be called...

I gave up waiting when I was able to get T-Mobile home internet. It is not great, but better than what I had. My Starlink dates got pushed out to late 2023.

I feel like TMobile Home Internet 5G is pretty damn good but obviously it’s all relative to each persons location. It’s not quite as fast as 1gig fiber but who truly needs that? I have 3 nest camera’s on 24/7 plus 48 other devices on my internet all the time and I seem ok with the 300mbps down and 30up I’m getting.
I have ATT 1gig but I may drop it for all the deals TMobile internet is giving. The ONLY negative is if you game. I play COD occasionally and instead of a 30-50 ping with ATT it’s more like 70-100 with TMobile.

Dang. Guessing my counter strike time will be even more limited

TMobile home internet 5G is very hit or miss and all depends on how close you are to a tower. I will say that my Google Wi-Fi pucks aren’t the best cause they don’t let you customize MTU values at the router level and aren’t Wi-Fi 6.
If you have a good mesh Wi-Fi system or simply hardwire everything, you’re pings will be in the 20 range. If you can set the MTU value to 1420 (I think it was?), that will also help reduce ping.
If I were like 2 blocks further west and closer to the tower, I’d be getting 500mbps and 15ping but I’m just 2 damn blocks further to the east. The deals TMobile has with their cell plan, plus YTTV half off for a year and others are hard to beat IF you’re in a good spot near the tower.

How does anyone at this point not jailbreak their fire cube and pay for hydrogen or whatever service for $20 a month to get every channel you can imagine.
It’s literally mind blowing to me.

They're technically HD, but the image isn't as good as the original. Also, a lot of the streams are 30 fps and you can tell when sports are on. The streams also tend to go offline from time to time or timeout at random.
Just do yourself a favor and get YouTube TV or Hulu. If money is really tight, try Vidgo.
