Cutting the Cord

[ScoobaDawg]

Ok, you don't have to exit the app. What I mean was you have to stop the game you are watching and pick another one. It takes longer than cable. I've done the week trials and been at people's houses who use streaming. It definitely takes longer. There's a certain threshold of our budget when little things like that are just not worth the hassle and it's worth the $30 extra per month not to have to deal with it. If I was 25 I'd deal with it, but not anymore.

Alright that's interesting.. I can flip from station to station instantly on the two services I use now (PS Vue and Philo) the biggest difference I see concerning that is If I'm watching something, it plays in the background (same as cable) but the guide doesn't give me a preview of what is playing. Wouldn't matter for sports though.

If it's an on demand or dvr'd game that would take a second to load.. but never had issues with "live tv".

Has it been recently you have tried? Just wonder what the different experience you saw was caused by.

I understand what you mean, Streaming isn't perfect yet by any means.. especially in the dvr world. But It improved enough to encourage me to change and save $50 a month (more if I get out showtime as I will sometimes during the year). No paying for multiple cable boxes per month, no paying for a billion fees.

Good luck to you finding a solution that works. If I notice any weird quirks during the football season I'll report it back..
I noticed last night I had 3 Big 10 alt chanels on PS vue. So maybe they will add Sec Network + too.. who knows.
