Re: [iPad] Cut the Cord on Cable - Finally!

 

I want to watch the Mets and Rob wants to watch the Yankees.  We're in CA and maybe get 1 or 2 Mets games a season. The Yankees are shown more often. With MLB we can see Mets and Yankee games every day except on their travel days. DTV had limited package for $8 that had limited MLB channels.  The price was right and we did get a couple MLB channels out of it but when the games started, the channels blacked out the games.

I assume you want to watch many different MLB teams?   Our team, the Seattle Mariners,  have all their games shown on our Regional Sports Network as part of our DTV programming package without expensive additional Sports program options.

Lloyd, DTV is great except for MLB. They want $200 a season. I get maybe 1 or 2 Mets games without it. Rob likes the Yankees. He gets more games than  I do. We're in CA. Glad we have DTV though. I'd dislike missing Walking Dead and Mad Man as Dish subscribers do.

Well, first of all 'digital antenna' is a marketing scheme.  Such a thing does not exist.  I'll give the marketing types credit, they sure found enough people to believe in them

 

But back to sports, yes my locals have some sports, just for the most part, not ones I care about.  Plenty of football, basketball, a smidgen of major golf events (or usually just the last 2 days), but absolutely no boxing.

 

And if I have to give up a sport, boxing isn't going to be the one I give up!  :)

 

I live in rural Illinois and unless you are really into the religious channels, you have the big 4 in HD via OTA, and PBS in HD, all the rest are in very bit-starved SD.

 

So I subscribe to DirecTV these days.  I have the Premier package which is all the premium movie channels, a bunch of sports channels and of course all the rest of them.  Costs me about $110/month right now, not counting the NFL Sunday Ticket my son pays for.  For me, it is worth it, for others maybe not.

What about a digital antenna? You get local channels. Don't they play sports?
