Oh, I so want to cut the cord...

Sling TV looks pretty good. But in checking it out, it led me to google “Playstation Vue” which is a similar service coming out soon, but has (I think) a *much* better channel lineup.

Sony hasn’t announced the subscription price for Playstation Vue yet and I have my fingers crossed...

Dump landline.
Dump cable.
Keep internet.
Drop my monthly bill by up to $120! (depending on cost of Sling or Vue)

I suspect if either take off — and I think they should — this could spell trouble for cable companies. At the very least, their local monopolies will be hit hard and they will be forced to compete. Heh!

I’ve already cut the cord for over 98% of what I want to view (see previous postings), but I must admit I am not a Sports Nut and not at all worried about watching sports in realtime.

Even a lot of the sports channels are available on streaming servers if you search hard enough, just not many of the ones most seem to want to watch as they happen. I am not an expert in this area but I always seem to be able to find EU sports channels streaming whenever I search for online channels. Perhaps you could look up your local channels and see if they have a live feed up. You might be surprised at how many do, and you can then access more local fare or perhaps a game or two on weekends depending upon the channel.
