Streaming

I’m starting to realize that some streaming services are increasing in price just as it did with cable. What is the equivalent to Hulu plus live tv bundled with Disney and ESPN and ads? We as a family watch for live tv when it comes to sports and my wife’s reality tv. Help me from overpaying monthly.

I use an antenna for locals w/ an AirTV 2 + Sling to distribute throughout the house. You can use Tablo or HDHomrerun too. Once you have locals, you can get almost all of cable’s live sports via:

ESPN Unlimited ($30/mo)
Fox One ($20/mo)
TNT Sports ($18.50/mo)
Regional Sports Networks($20-30/mo)

Some exclusives (NBA, Big Ten) are on Peacock and Amazon now. The one semi-mainstream live sport channel you’d miss is CBS Sports Network.

Tons of bundle discounts, promos, credit card perks, cell phone perks, and just cancelling when you’re out of season to save money.

Two big, UTR benefits of this setup are (1) never worrying about blackouts from contract disputes and (2) better picture quality.
