And I subscribe to MLB, can watch games, listen to games online.
You are just scared to let go, :-). It is so freeing, really.
Nah, it's more complicated than that. Not to defend my cable (too much) but I get one local sports network that gives me 1 NHL team, 1 MLB team & 1 NBA team. Another local sports network gets me the other baseball team in my state.
If the NHL team & NBA team are playing at the same time, they put one of the games on an alternate channel.
Then, there are the NBA games on TNT & ESPN, NFL on ESPN, & MLB on ESPN, TBS & WGN.
When things are really cooking, I'm flipping all over the place watching multiple sports/teams.
I don't see how that's possible/practical without having my current cable (and I haven't even brought up college football or hoops, which don't interest me as much but I still watch a little).
You watch the NBA? Seriously?
Trust me, you are resisting change.
