OK, what streaming services do I need to watch all the games for the least money?
Sorry understand this has been asked before over and over

It's why I have Verizon Fios and just pay whatever it is. We have a bundle with our internet so when taking everything into consideration the difference between Fios and streaming is minimal and I have everything I want. And more importantly we have everything my wife wants.

This was somewhat true for me. The real issue is cable boxes. 1. I hate them 2. I'd need four of them. They charge for those and that adds like $50 a month. I hear they have an app now, but I don't think the DVR works through it. All I lose is NESN, which is annoying but I can live with it. If the NBA playoffs and NCAA tournament moves off TNT/TBS I'll go to FUBO.

So I'm on team Hulu+ at the moment. I have Peacock too because it's rather cheap anyway and has some decent stuff.

What do you watch on Peacock?

What do you watch on Peacock?

A surprisingly decent array of movies. The Undeclared War was their best "original" show (taken from BBC), very good. Watched Yellowstone for a bit. They also have some old stuff like Dark Shadows and Alfred Hitchcock presents. I watched the John Wick spin off for a bit (good but slow). It's $80 a year. Doesn't exactly break the bank.

What I've noticed and the industry has essentially confirmed, is that the vast catalogue of older movies you used to have on Prime and Netflix for free are all moving to their native streaming services. Paramount+, Peacock (Universal), Disney, Max (Warner Bros). So if you are like me and want what we had from Netflix DVD delivery in the old days, you can either constantly pay to rent it on Prime or Apple (or Microsoft) or simply subscribe to everything. If you don't watch a lot of stuff, renting will be cheaper, but there's also that original content too.

What do you watch on Peacock?

They have The Office Super Fan episodes. All the deleted stuff added back into the original episodes. Awesome stuff.

I am currently still using cable internet. Happy with it but cost is significant. How does Frontier do with a bunch of devices connected? Thats been my main concern for not switching.

I work from home 2 days/week, my wife is 100% at home, we have smart TVs, 3 kids with various devices, etc etc etc all connected to the internet. I've never really noticed a slowdown outside of the occasional routine maintenance. Not knowing what kind of speed you're looking for, I can't say for sure that it'll do what you're looking for, but I can say that we pull a decent amount of bandwidth and haven't had any issues.

How so? I haven't had any issues with it.

Poor audio/video syncing. Got caught in a loop a few times where the just keptcreplaying the same contentvand notvasvancing despite me signing out, shutting down and restarting. Same loops on bith TVs.
YouTube has been great. Still have Hulu basic for their content.

Of course, next year the games will not be on SNY. I may switch back to YouTube TV then since it is nominally cheaper, though that would mean paying separately for ESPN +.

What do you have?

 

[CL82]

What do you have?

Hulu live. I get ABC, all the ESPN's, Fox, FS1, FS2, CBS, CBSSN NBC and SNY. In addition to that, I also get ESPN +. All of those come as a part of my Hulu live deal, which is something like $82 a month. So basically, I have everything I need to watch almost any Connecticut game in any Connecticut sport. The one thing that is missing is NESN (for hockey) but I am out of market for that.

The deal also includes Hulu, which is one of those streaming movie and television deals and Disney+. Of course you still get all the normal live channels too. I think it is a good deal. Once the baseball season is over I pause the account until football starts up. That saves me about $250, which, though not a lot of money, is worth it given that pausing the account is pretty easy to do.

The quality is good. It also contains an unlimited VCR, so that puts me in a position to record every game, which lets me rewatch fast forwarding through commercials. That's all I can think of. Overall, I think it's a reasonable way to get all the games in a variety of sports.
