So someone mentioned only watching for the NBA season. Sling and YoutubeTV etc.

I use vaderstreams.ca They pretty much offer everything imaginable for the low. Specifically, I use the vaders/Beast combo for $25:

All the PPV sports, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, HBO, Cinemax, Showtime etc. All the local and national stations that you can imagine.

This is the most budget bang for the buck that I've seen. I highly recommend it.

Here is a video on vaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAiFdYGslI0

Here is the video for Beast TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Daxrsakt49w

Check them out, for real and for true.

I don't know anyone's expertise on the subject but if you have any questions hit me with a DM. I have experience with STBemu, Perfect Player, VLC-mp3u8, and a variety of android boxes. Im just passing on the knowledge. Be sure to check out the channel listings.

Oh yeah. Vaders has a 5 day catch for its streams. Beast TV 3 days. This means that any channel that you have you can go back 3-5 days and watch whatever you missed. You can also download/record whatever you want.
