When anyone cuts their cable, Sling is a reasonable alternative.

There are several streaming services now. However, they are following the old cable/satellite models of offering bulks of channels in tiers or groups. Eventually, they will be just like the cable/satellites -- a bunch of junk channels to get just the few one wants to watch.

If/when a service comes out with true ala-carte channel selection -- even if the prices of channels vary -- they would take over the future of streaming.

I agree.

There will some new providers with no sporting channels coming our way.

This choice is here today, and I made the choice yesterday.
Now via this Sling Option, I’m not paying for 3 ESPN or Disney Channels, we don’t use!

As you noted, a real cafeteria approach is what we need. We only pay for the channels we want to watch. That may never be here.

However, we cut the cable in June and now with this Sling change we are saving another $20 per month and eliminating the ABC channel which cost us another extra $5.
