Dropping the Cable

[CardiffBaseball]

My issue really revolves around the fact that I still pay for MLB.tv, UFC fights and Netflix. Then I find between those three and regular network programming we pretty much get what we need. Sounds like if I get regular Cable into the house that ESPN3 will an option. Since the kids have small HD monitors, I can get the other one a Roku, and perhaps one for the main TV and spare. Still a bit of an upfront investment.

OTOH I think ATT Uverse has streaming to iPhone/Android devices? I guess slingbox would do that as well. Certainly even cable will get more interesting as they integrate to your smart phones but man you end up paying through the nose.

Can you please explain ESPN3? How do you watch it?

I thought that you needed an Xbox and an annual subscription. I have an Xbox but have not connected it yet. (I don’t watch much TV so I’m slow at connecting everything)

@briansd1. if you get Cox or Time Warner high speed internet ( amongst others), you can access ESPN3.com. It asks you when you go to the site to select your cable provider and then login to your account. Once you login with your internet provider, you can watch live content on ESPN3. For instance, the Memphis v Durantula game last night LIVE

We use a PS3 and a roku with a subscription to Netflix and Hulu +. I would recommend the roku. For the price, it can’t be beat. I also love the way they organize their “roku channels”. I have barely begun to explore, but their is a TON of stuff. We use AT&T dsl because COX was horribly unreliable. We’re paying $25/month for 12mps service which has been just fine. I use a d-link dr 655 router. The setup has been rock solid since we dropped cox.

We did get lucky, and cox has not snipped the line so we still get all the local HD channels over the cable line crystal clear. If you subscribe to cox internet, I would check to see if you’re getting the local channels as well.
