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?

    Why 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.

        ah. Miserable people usually want to make everyone else miserable too. From now on I will just wish them all a good day. :)

      I 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.

    Look 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

    Grab a Chromecast or almost any cheap streaming device of your choice, Tivimate and IPTV. Find a really good reliable IPTV provider for your area and you won’t really have issues.

    Looking to drop cable? I haven’t had cable since 2013 :/.

    Life’s better without.

    That said I know someone with it and I use theirs for sports 🤣

    I found that knitting is a much more exciting alternative to live sports, but you could get a dog, spend the time learning another language or watch documentaries about archaeology.

    I dropped live sports decades ago and couldn’t be happier.
