Just a quick hack we figured out recently. We have sling and just learned we get access to the ESPN app with it as our TV provider. It allows us a way around the one devise issue watching ESPN. With a son at college, it is a big deal.
Good hack. On occasion, beyond the occasional basketball (NBA) game, I'd like to watch certain college football games not on the regular networks. Oh, yeah... I'm a fan of volleyball, but in reality, only the UT Women's matches on the Longhorn/ESPN network. I can give those up if I have to. I could always try to use "Roku" as the provider instead of my cable subscription to use the WatchESPN app. Might work.
It's the trade-off of watching a lot of Astros games or watching only a handful of Nationally televised Astros games and the MLB Network like I currently do. What I can hope for is eventually, the MLB Network will be on FuboTV similar to the the NBA Network and the NFL Network to catch some Nationally televised games on the MLB Network plus some of the shows I like too.
I have until Friday to cut the cord or pay for another 30 days of cable. I'm pretty decided now that this news has come out, especially since the SportsNet Network is supposed to come online on February 11th. That pretty much would be when the free subscription I intend to sign up for on Friday would be in full effect. I can test the quality of the broadcast at that time.
