Sling or fubo or other?

Readily available for OTA. I had a TIVO for years, now have an Amazon Fire recast and cube.

I live in the eastern time zone, and have found over the years that a surprising number of Oregon football games get broadcast over the air; Oregon is a bit of a brand, as they say. Don't get a lot of Oregon basketball or any trailblazer games over the air, but most of those games are in the middle of the night out here, and 9-minute highlights of each game are available on free youtube when I get up in the morning. All the sports talkathons are on youtube as well.

There are lots of other college football games available over the air every weekend, including most of the big ones. I can't imagine watching them all, but recognize that others are more intensely into this sort of thing.

That being said, I pay zero for cable or streaming services (I get Prime, but would pay for it anyway for the free shipping).

I *think* that *some* of you would be surprised at how little you would miss if you cut the cord. There is a couple hundred bucks you need to pay up front to get an antenna and a DVR box that streams free youtube, but once you pay for that, it's all free.

I tried sling this summer, and didn’t like it a ton. No local channels, they try to get you to get an antenna so you can access it. But I like to stop and rewind games, record ect. Getting ready to try Fubo.

I drive truck and when I’m parked I’ll be able to watch but if I’m driving I need a way to listen and I’m not sure how. I’ve got SXM radio and was curious if anyone on here is familiar with it and listening to our ducks through it. Any other ideas or advice to be able to listen to our ducks would be very much appreciated.

Fubo for football season. For sports it's very solid. Then cancel after the season.

For those willing to put up with a little frustration, sportsurge.net is my go-to for bootlegging games. Doesn't host the streams directly, but gives you a bunch of options for places that do. You'll learn that some are better than others.

Streameast is usually money; I’ve just been going through their site directly recently. The streams aren’t quite as good as going through the actual network but they’ve come a long way.

With rising prices it's not really a few bucks, nor is it great lengths.

Saving money is the best way to be able to spend it later when you are rich.

"Go to great lengths"

I'm literally watching the Hawaii/Vanderbilt game on my phone in the woods after getting back from an evening hunt. I don't know how it could be made any more convenient for me.

Meh, spend away. Dollar value isn't getting better anytime soon.

It's better than the Euro

I use Fubo, just because you can get all the local stations, all the Blazers games and the Pac-12 Network through them. Fubo is the only streaming service that covers all of these things (last I looked at least), without having to resort to antennas and all that. They pretty much have every possible angle covered from a sports perspective, with 1 exception......they don't offer any of the Turner family of channels. That means no TNT, TBS, TruTV, CNN, etc. The vast majority of time this isn't an issue (for me at least), but I did have to find another way to view a few NBA playoff games that were on TNT.

After all local network fees, upgrading to Fubo Extra (1000 hour cloud DVR, unlimited screens, etc.) and everything else, the bottom line is my bill is $83.98 per month. Not the cheapest option out there, but still close to half of what my cable bill eventually ballooned to.

Seems like I had problems recording things that I could not watch live when I had Fubo. Is that an issue with them?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I don't have any problem watching live sporting events, whether it is recording it at the same time or not. As far as I know, you can record unlimited programs while still watching live programs at the same time. You can also record an entire program/game from the beginning, even if you forgot to set up the recording. For example, if you forgot a game was on and discovered it was on during halftime, if you start recording it will record the entire game for you, so you can go back and watch it from the beginning.
