Streaming Sports

[Town Drunk]

Hey guys. I've made the decision to get rid of DirecTV and go with streaming options. I'm planning on purchasing Sling TV to pair with HBO Go and an over the air antenna. I figure I'll stream my programming going forward, as it's more cost effective.

The only thing I'll be missing is sports, as you can't yet stream local sports channels.

Does anyone know of any streaming sites that actually have decent video quality? The ones I've used in the past were terrible.

local football can be captured on over the air TV through your rabbit ears. For the sports on cable, I have no answer. Sling TV hs some of the basketball channels but not FSAZ. Personally as someone who cut the cord 4 years ago, I hated sling tv. $20 a month to see that nothing is on any of those channels. I just do netflix, hulu plus and HBO GO.

ESPN has a package.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping it would be possible to stream your local sports channels, as MLB League Pass won't work for me as I'm not out of the Giants market. Looks like local sports haven't yet caught up with streaming.

There may be hope for you.

I've used FirstRow sports - quality is not bad; you just have to get by all the annoying pop ups. Someone else recommended Reddit but I have not tried it.

You can watch free movies at:

some are better quality than others, but, hey - they're free!

I use reddit to find streams to stuff I can't get and it usually works well, and in good quality. I'd advise you to get an ad blocker (I use uBlock Origin for Chrome) to get rid of most of annoying crap that pops up.

I've also used Bosscast as an alternative, and they're usually HD quality.
