Well more power to you. I've noticed a lot of cord-cutters insisting it's the "future". But not in the near term ... as cable customers vastly outnumber streamers. We have apple TV in our household also .. and TW as an IP. When we use apple TV, the signal quality is usually pretty good ...  but it's not unusual to have a glitch where the signal cuts out, or degrades to standard definition. Since that almost never happens with cable TV, this is a reliability, not a "basic math", issue.

Here are some more examples. When I stream an ESPN game and try to skip the commercials or move the cursor (b/c the SU kid I'm watching in an NBA summer league game isn't on the floor), it often goes haywire. Then I have to start the stream over. One game, an entire half was missing. In several the first 5 minutes were in SD, and I've had multiple games where the audio doesn't run. I mean ... streaming's a crap shoot. And I don't like risks when it comes to my Cuse sports.

Whichever way things go, I hope SU fans get a fair shake. Right now, we see the team play a lot when the ACC starts. But in the fall when the 2d Tier games and Raycom get involved, we get shafted (the SU - Bonnies game was strangely "blacked out" in the prime viewing area even though I was paying for an ESPN game pass to see it). That's the kind of BS that gets my blood boiling ... and I hope Wildhack will level us out with the B1G and Pac12 with our own linear cable channel.
