Ditching cable?

Post by BurghThing »

So thinking about oicking uo one of those Amazon fire sticks while they are on sale and finally cutting the cable. Especially with the tv deal about to go away, who knows how we will get to watch the games after the first. Anyone have any experience doing this? Is there a viable way to watch all the Pens game that won't wind up cosring as much as I am already paying for cable? Thanks!

I'm interested in your PM, Daniel. I ditched DirecTV about 5 years ago due to cost. Using Firesticks, I had a 3rd party gray-area IPTV service I used for hockey, but it can no longer be renewed. I have Hulu with ESPN+ which has been good, but I did notice on the schedule like 5 of the last 7 Penguins games were listed as available.

Just curious what other options may be out there.

What's weird is the first direct to subscriber RSN is now going bankrupt because they bought the rights from Disney after the FOX merger and can't get enough subscribers to at their price point to make it profitable
