Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 5556014, member: 994"] I dropped YYTV in Sept... Went to [URL='https://www.sling.com/channels']Sling Orange[/URL] + Sports Pack. Here's the deets for anyone looking for a cheaper sports option... The plusses from a sports perspective: [LIST] [*]Cost: Sling Orange base channel pack $45.99 /mo + $11.00 Sports Pack = $56.99/mo total [*]Includes the ESPNs (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, News, Ocho) and ACCN & ACCNX, SECN & SECN+, NFL RedZone, MLB Network, NHL Network, BeIn Sports [/LIST] The cons: [LIST] [*]No Fox Sports, FS1, or FS2 [*]No USA network (tho you do get TBS and TNT). I have Peacock for English Prem league so occasionally there is a prem game I can't watch on USA only (replays on Peacock 24 hrs. later) [*]No local network channels (at least in my market of Albany, NY - some major markets DO include local networks on Sling Orange). Issue for NFL games, but I am addicted to NFL RedZone on Sundays, so not a big issue since my team (Giants) suck monkey nuggets anyway [*]No CW network (will be an occasional issue for an occasional b-ball game I think) [/LIST] You can get Sling Orange + Blue, which will give you Fox Sports channels, USA, NFL Network, & BIG10N and other non-sports networks as well, but that monthly cost with Sports pack puts the monthly total up into YTTV and Hulu+ Live territory... Also, you can buy day sports passes for select channels/channel groups if you want to do base Orange and pay for additional sport events on a per day basis for $4.99 a day. The performance of the stream app on my TV Roku devices has been great. They had one day where the app was flaking out on stream... it was 2 weeks ago when AWS had that MAJOR datacenter blackout that was affecting all sorts of big companies (not just Sling), so AWS definitely to blame for that.
