We got rid of cable last year because we just were not watching much TV, but I really miss all of the sports on this time of year. I am looking for something that I can get college sports (including ISU of course) and pay for by the month, so I can drop it in the spring and summer when there is nothing really going on. I already buy monthly with Cyclone TV.

I am thinking of switching to youtube.tv probably already would have if it worked with fire tv sticks.

We have Hulu through a Roku, works well, and lets you choose teams to follow and will DVR the games automatically.

I’ve had PSVue for a few months now and love it. There’s four package options and I get the second or third one and have yet to be unable to watch a game I’d like to watch. My roommate and I also have 3 PS4/PS3’s between the two of us so we can have multiple games streaming at once, or be playing something with a game going on in the background. It’s been very handy for college football Saturdays and looking forward to basketball season and March madness with it

I have been using streaming services for several years. I recently switched to YouTube TV. Great sports content, locals built in, DVR capabilities, and really good interface. I like it better than Hulu because I can watch it from different locations when traveling. Hulu isn't great for mobility. It's $40 per month so it's in the ballpark of the others.

YouTube TV, PlayStation Vue and Hulu's live service are all solid options. I think all of them have free trials - so try em out and see what you think. We settled on YouTube TV and are very happy with the service.

I will second the vote on Youtube.tv. It's been absolutely great although as someone mentioned it doesn't work with FireTV stick. If you have a Chromecast, it's incredible

Find an old person or family member with satellite that doesn't do any streaming. Have them give you their account login info. Use a Roku and log in to the apps for the networks you watch using their log in info. Enjoy free streaming TV.

Decided to try YouTube TV during the Super Bowl last year thinking if it could handle the Super Bowl it would be good enough to drop cable...and it worked perfect! We have been used YouTube TV for almost 11 months and my family is completely satisfied! We have a LG smart tv that has a YouTube TV app and the other TVs we use a Roku. We also stream on our tablets and phones a lot! No issues!
