Our only must-haves are SEC ball/ESPN and F1 racing. All else is optional-y

Sling Orange for the first combo, not sure for F1

Edited: Forgot to mention you would have to add the sports extra for 5 dollars a month.

Last edit: Looks like ESPN has F1, so Sling would work.

Georgair, every option I listed gets the SEC channel, but it's best to put your zip code in their site to find out exactly what you get:

$40 YTTV - https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/start/

$40 Hulu Live - https://www.hulu.com/live-tv

$55 DirecTV Now - https://www.directvnow.com/

$30 Sling TV ($25 + $5 for sports) - https://www.sling.com/c/channels?classification=us

I have no idea what channel to watch F1 on so checking the links is recommended.

Update: Today I began my 1 week free trial on Hulu Live and so far it's been excellent for both the Purdue game and tOSU game.

Next weekend, I'm going to start a 1 week free trial on YouTube TV.

In other words, I'm less than 2 weeks from cutting the cord and cutting costs by 67%.

Sports book at the Mississippi Coast casinos provides pretty much every game imaginable. Of course nothing like watching the game in the "Privacy of your own home", whatever that means. When I was in college it was a big deal to see ANY college games televised nationwide. I am glad that there are more options.

I did a free week of Hulu live last weekend and left it in place for this week and going forward. I'm watching one game on my television and another one on my ipad right now.

It works, we are cutting the cable for sure.

I'm thinking more about it and leaning toward keeping Hulu Live without trying YouTube TV (YTTV). The reasons:

It's working great and it's been on for more hours than I care to admit. Thunderstorms have been rolling through all day long and it's been reliable.

Hulu is scalable so I can have live during college football season and go back to regular the rest of the year.

Worst case (Hulu live year around) is 53% savings and more realistic case (Hulu Live only during CFB) is 65% savings. Cutting the cable is enough to buy a Sig P series every year!

YTTV is owned by Google and really don't want them data mining me any more than they already are.

YouTube TV, ESPN+ and MLB at bat.

40 plus 5 a month for the first two and 125 a year for the last. Every KU b-ball, football baseball game, every Cub game and 90% of every prime college football game.

You pretty much nailed my thinking on it as well. I may have been paying more for the TV package - we have (soon to be had) the Comcast X1 HD package, around $100 per month. Realized a few weeks ago that I was pretty much the only one watching anything on it - live sports and then the occasional History Channel or AMC and that was it. The wife and kids watch Netflix and Redbox when they watch anything at all. It just doesn't make sense to pay that much when I can get everything I was watching for less than half the cost. We're cutting the TV package and just keeping the high speed internet from Comcast.

If you're willing to surf a bit, google reddit cfbstreams.

You can find almost every game.
