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?
pbjamm ( @pbjamm@beehaw.org ) English51•1 year agoWhy 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.

pbjamm ( @pbjamm@beehaw.org ) English10•1 year agoah. Miserable people usually want to make everyone else miserable too. From now on I will just wish them all a good day. :)

Sky ( @Sky@reddthat.com ) English14•1 year agoLook 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

pbjamm ( @pbjamm@beehaw.org ) English7•1 year agoI 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•1 year agoOh for sure sportsurge is very much an…active experience lol.
I will look into this too. Thank you
pbjamm ( @pbjamm@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agono 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.
moody ( @moody@lemmings.world ) English9•1 year agoCan 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
Banzai51 ( @Banzai51@midwest.social ) English7•1 year agoFor 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.

Life’s better without.
That said I know someone with it and I use theirs for sports 🤣
