As the title states, I currently have cable but want to cut it. I dont watch anything live anymore aside for sports. I can’t buy a sports package as the local pro teams are blacked out, and you must watch on the local channel. Are there any alternatives?

Why so many unhelpful comments here? I get it, you are not into sports, but some people are and want to enjoy them. No need to take a superior stance and tell us we are wasting our time by doing so.

.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.

ah. Miserable people usually want to make everyone else miserable too. From now on I will just wish them all a good day. :)

Yeah I double checked too, but it is easier to just blame them for everything am I right?

Look at purchasing an IPTV subscription. It’s like 2 to $3 per month for all of the US channels plus a bunch of international ones. Great for HD super bowl and stuff

sportsurge dot net

I have had very bad luck with sportsurge lately. Ad loops, login requirements, and buffering. racereplay is still excellent but a much more limited selection of sports.
- originalfrozenbanana ( @originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee ) English2•6 months ago
Oh for sure sportsurge is very much an…active experience lol.
I will look into this too. Thank you
- pbjamm ( @pbjamm@beehaw.org ) English2•6 months ago
no hockey on racereplay :(
ironically it has been a struggle for me to watch hockey since I moved to Canada. Sportsnet+ is an outrageous price to watch out of market hockey games.
Thank you. I will check this out.

Can you get local channels OTA with an antenna?
We get a few channels OTA with our antenna. Sadly, ice hockey is limited to Bally Sports, and baseball is only sometimes available on a local network that is not Bally Sports

For the NHL and MLB you’re just fucked. Those leagues completely failed negotiations. Maybe Amazon picking up a big chunk of Bally’s will get us our teams on Prime. Maybe.
In general, all the major sports leagues (except maybe Premier League) are firmly stuck in the past and view cable as great. Maybe we’ll see some better options when each league re-negotiates the TV deals. But even when that happens, expect the NHL to fuck it up somehow.

Practically the league motto.

IPTV it’s the most reliable solution in my humble POV.

Looking to drop cable? I haven’t had cable since 2013 :/.
Life’s better without.
That said I know someone with it and I use theirs for sports 🤣

Grab a Chromecast or almost any cheap streaming device of your choice, Tivimate and IPTV. Find a really good reliable IPTV provider for your area and you won’t really have issues.

Any idea How to find a IPTV provider? Everything seems like a scam…
