Are Today's Parents Getting a Raw Deal

This fall I am planning to experiment with doing without satellite and streaming football. If it works out well enough (and I don't know what that means exactly), I plan on letting the service go and upping my internet service.

 

Playstation vue sports/ESPN tier is ~$39 I think.

 

Yeah but I believe it only has ESPN right? No NFL network, no ESPNu (I believe), no sec network, no PAC 12 network, no fox sports 1, etc. when you have a shit team that eliminates an awful lot of games

 

How do you plan on streaming football? Seems like most online services have you verify your cable subscription first, which defeats the purpose.

 

Trojan Privilege.

 

My brother in law who lives in Germany uses my dish slingbox login. That's really the only way to get everything

 

I bet you'd miss at least 4 or 5 USC games a year too.

 

Which would be nice, but I think by the time I got solo internet service (unbundled will cost a bit more) plus sling box I really wouldn't be saving any money.

These prices are lower now too. Core is $35, access is $30.

 

Pro teams keeping the college man down. Just can't get ahead in this world.

 

You're not, really. I've looked into it.

 

Are you going to have access to Google Fiber here before long? It might work out better then.

 

Well he pays nothing because he uses my login, but exactly.

 

It's going to be awhile, but yes.

 

How many people can use your login? I see a business model here that involves you undercutting dish network.

 

Interesting. It didn't use to have that many stations.

 

One. It works for us because I rarely use it and he uses it a lot when I'm asleep. I have a couple of friends who use their parents login that would never get used for the PAC 12 network and such. It's definetely a pain in the ass which is the primary reason I haven't done it.

 

Hell I don't even think they've announced it in la yet. I'd probably get it instantly

 

The installation is what is dragging on. I don't expect them to be done for awhile

 

I believe it was Google installers that hit a Comcast line a few months ago and shut down from Atlanta to Bowling Green.
