If you are wondering if Sling TV works well and is worth a shot, the short answer is yes. I've ran into some issues lately while streaming something to my Roku. With the core package you get about 20 channels including ESPN 1 and . This also gives you access to the Watch ESPN app. I believe you can watch ESPN3 on there as well. For $5 more per month you can add the sports package which gives you the SEC Network, ESPNU, etc. Some channels will let you pause, rewind, and FF. Those channels also let you go back a few days to watch what has already played.
With Sling TV, an antenna, and Netflix you will have plenty. Another thing to look into is Plex. It is a file sharing app which serves as a media server. You can access your movies, home videos, music, TV shows, etc. You can also share your library to friends and they can share theirs if they have one. You can choose which libraries you share. Between my library and the 2 that are shared out to me I have access to about 2000 movies and countless TV shows.
Lastly, regarding the bandwidth required to support Sling TV- I'm pretty sure you can go into settings and lower the quality of the picture to better suit your internet capabilities.
Hope this helps.
