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
 
Hulu is another option - but not sure if you can create a package that costs less than YouTube TV. Not that it costs much more with all the bells and whistles. In the past Peacock has had a $20.00 annual sign up for new users. Not sure if it is still that cheap.

I think peacock has a student rate
 
YouTube tv will get you every game (except the ones on peacock) for the best price.

I don’t know if this is a YouTube tv thing or if it looks this way on cable and Hulu, but the picture quality of Fox broadcasts look significantly worse than ESPN. I have YouTube tv 4k and 4k games on Fox vs ESPN aren’t even comparable. It makes me jealous of other leagues that ESPN carries.

YouTubeTV. $77 per month. Get all the games whether FoxSports (FS1, FS2), CBSsports ,etc. If you like NFL, Sunday Ticket has all out of area Sunday games; you get a discount for being a YouTubeTV subscriber.

You might want to try to stream on the fox app. It’s a garbage app but when it works the picture quality it’s pretty good/better than cable and streaming tv.
 
I'm still not seeing TNT, TBS and TruTV on Fubo which are needed for March Madness. That is why I went with YouTubeTV four years ago. Big detractors are that no RSNs on YouTubeTV (NESN, YES or SNY), but all three are available on Fubo.
 
Piling onto the YouTube TV recommendation. If you package YouTube TV with Frontier as your ISP you'll get $10/month off the YouTube. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Try Direct TV, the picture quality is a tad better than streaming. I know, I have both.

How do you get that? I have Frontier, but I've always signed up for YoutubeTV before the season starts through my Google account.

I have DirecTV stream. It is good for the local professional teams (YES, Nesn, Sny) but it does not have FS2 or CBSSN.

Going to have to get creative for those games

I also have Fubo. You are correct that TNT, TBS, TruTV, CNN (Turner entities) are no longer carried. But TBS was available during the MLB ALDS & ALCS through MAX so I expect it to be the same during March Madness.

I'm surprised a Boneyarder could imagine settling for maybe games being uploaded and having to dodge spoilers.

If you do a good Search on Sports Streaming Sites or similar words you can find Sites that will enable you to watch Sports. Admit I don't know how legal some of these sites are.

Admit you know exactly how legal these sites are...

Not positive but I think it was like that this year.

The dish picture off of the roof is unparalleled, and they’ve upgraded to 4K, but I haven’t gotten that yet.

use chrome browser incognito mode and google fs1 streaming and you get 1 hr = 1/2 a game.

Close browser and redo for 2nd half

They may not be kosher, but they are everywhere and I’ve used them quite successfully without any repercussions.

I love YouTubeTV as it has everything I need except YES which I purchased on it's own

The thread title says 'cord is cut'. That means OP is no longer relying on a cable / satellite provider.
 
IMO YouTubeTV is your best bet. I've used YT TV, Hulu Live, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream.

YouTubeTV has unlimited cloud DVR too. So if the game is broadcast on FS1 or a more national broadcast, you'll have it. Also I've found YT TV is the live streamer that suffers the least interruptions. I'd rate DirecTV Stream then Hulu Live, and then Fubo (in that order) in terms of disruption.

The bandwidth on Wi-Fi is limited, if you can live with that then fine.

Since we moved out of CT in 1997 I've had to scrounge around the internet to find UConn games. My cable package includes FS1 but games on Peacock I can't get and I'm unwilling to shell out more $$$ than I already pay.
