unless Direct TV is doing highspeed internet bundles now forget that. Plus they make you sign a contract, so forget that x2.

Re: Get DIRECTV *
Yes, and their "contract" is one-way. You might sign it, they won't . and it does not matter what you agree on when you upgrade, you are screwed- their word is worse than a DC politician. I would throw my TVs away before I deal with those sobs again- ever.
Re: Get DIRECTV *
The word is, DirectTV is going to be bought by AT&T. I am not sure what that will mean for customers.

I been with Dish Network for about 13 years . I just bought a roku 3 from Amazon . I haven't gotten yet but I hear and read it's pretty good . I got to watch Gamecock Baseball on SEC Network + .
I think I read that you can subscribe to all ESPN access ( SEC, SEC+) through Sling.
This would allow cutting cable/satellite and replacing with a Roku 3 plus antenna for all local HDTV channels.

Sling is a separate company. There is no contract with Sling, cancel or start the service back up as much as you like. I've found the quality great and I like that your subscription gives you full access to Watch ESPN app as well. Maybe the start of a la carte TV?

Everything you need to know about Sling TV

Internet TV ( via Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, etc. ) + free over-the-air local stations ( via antenna ) is killing the cable/satellite industry.
Once you cut the cable/sat feed the only question you'll ask yourself is why you didn't do it sooner.

I've seen content on Netflix but I believe Discovery Channel may be offering their own subscription streaming service. Haven't checked Roku channel list ( over 1000 ) to see if it's there yet. If not it probably will be.
Big question: I presume that with Sling, I can port it via Bluetooth or cable adapter from my iPad to my big TV and watch everything on TV that I get on the iPad? Especially Watch ESPN and all the SEC+ channels PLUS FOX NEWS?
That should be true from all I have read on it, just curious what you real geeks say. if all that is possible, I am going to cut the cord, go air to air TV antennae, sling, and ROKU. I already have PS3. What say Ye?
I have Chromecast and I can't port the Sling TV app with it supposedly. I haven't tried meaning, I don't have sling TV on my phone. My PC uses a 39 " TV as a monitor. I have streamed WatchESPN games from my phone to my TV with it though. Roku and Amazon Fire TV stick is supposed to let you port it though. That is all done through Wifi though, not Bluetooth.

I'm waiting for Apple to come out with it's programing before I cut the TV cable...
One step at a time for me...
I checked the specs on the chromecast $29.95 streamer (BESTBUY) and it says this:
"Cast the Web to your TV: (Casting from Chrome feature is currently in beta.)
With Chromecast, cast a Chrome browser tab with anything from photos to music to video from your Windows or Mac laptop or Chromebook Pixel to your TV at home.
Plug in and play."
Where it says "Beta" above does that mean that it is compatible with a Sony Bravia 48" TV?
Anyone know, or where to find out?
Chromecast should be compatible with any TV that has a standard HDMI port.. The TV should also has a USB port to plug into for power. Think of it as a wireless HDMI cable. It's a receiver that can pick up HDMI signal over WIFI and display any program that Supports Chromecast from any device on the WIFI network and display it on the TV it is plugged into.
BETA, refers to BETA testing,. That just means the product is not quite finished but they are going test it with the public wihile the final touches are put on it. I am not sure if Chromecast is really in BETA testing now or what you read was and old article. Chromecast has been out for a while now..
I said Chromecast doesn't work with the Sling TV app. That is not true actually. I just haven't tried it yet, because I have really only been using it for games, which I have been streaming and porting through the WatchEspn App. I have read Chromecast is now supported by the SlingTV app. I am on vacation and forgot to bring the Chromecasst with might like a dolt but I will try it when I get back.
Also I have read where some gaming consoles like XBOX and Playstation can support Sling TV like it does with NetFlix ect...
