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?
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.
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.
ironically it has been a struggle for me to watch hockey since I moved to Canada. Sportsnet+ is an outrageous price to watch out of market hockey games.
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
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.
We get a few channels OTA with our antenna. Sadly, ice hockey is limited to Bally Sports, and baseball is only sometimes available on a local network that is not Bally Sports
For the NHL and MLB you’re just fucked. Those leagues completely failed negotiations. Maybe Amazon picking up a big chunk of Bally’s will get us our teams on Prime. Maybe.
In general, all the major sports leagues (except maybe Premier League) are firmly stuck in the past and view cable as great. Maybe we’ll see some better options when each league re-negotiates the TV deals. But even when that happens, expect the NHL to fuck it up somehow.
The Prem is an absolute shit show. You need USA, Peacock and then good knows what for some FA coverage. I tried peacock for the 3 months at like 1.99 and was very disappointed. So few games.

Oh for sure sportsurge is very much an…active experience lol.
animal documentaries with David Attenborough are quiet good
Kodi with Mad Titan Sports
Thank you. I have a kodi setup that will try this on.
They are gold
IPTV is the way to go but I don’t have any recommendations for IPTV providers.
To sport? Try musical theatre.

Any recommendations for providers? Feel free to DM me if you’re not comfortable posting here.
I would also like to know, also open to a DM…
I forgot to say that I’m not a cop/was asking for a friend so no one DM’ed me :(
IPTV it’s the most reliable solution in my humble POV.

.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.
ah. Miserable people usually want to make everyone else miserable too. From now on I will just wish them all a good day. :)
No one from hexbear has commented on this thread yet.
Yeah I double checked too, but it is easier to just blame them for everything am I right?

Can you get local channels OTA with an antenna?

Practically the league motto.

You mention Bally and baseball, mlb66 was my go-to last year.
