What's this?

Re: Question for Cord Cutting Gurus

I have Fios local and internet (50/50) along with Roku (Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and Sling TV Orange Channel line-up). I have local/network channels for the sports on those stations to go along with my ESPN's with the Orange line-up.

If you go with with Sling TV Blue channels, yes you get NBC and Fox, but you don't get CBS and ABC or ESPN's. You can do both Blue+Orange, but still no ABC or CBS. Not sure how important those to local/network channels are to you? If your an NFL fan, you will have one less option with no CBS. If a college football/basketball fan you will miss out on games here as well.

Also, pay attention to the streaming limitations with Sling TV. Some channels you can stream on one device only, while others allow 2-3.

I will say the Blue+Orange package is somewhat appealing to me. Possibly could drop Fios local and do antenna for CBS and ABC.

I use an antenna for local and it works well -- Casey 06/30/2016 4:54PM

What needs to be focused on are regional sports -- MEHOKIE 06/30/2016 2:51PM

Get an antenna and look at playstation vue vs sling for other channels ** -- HokieJamie 06/30/2016 2:08PM

You don't have a subscription for the networks do you? -- Hokie Bird 94 06/30/2016 2:01PM

I suggest an antenna for locals -- VTSnake 06/30/2016 1:59PM

Definitely go antennas to each TV -- Newt 06/30/2016 4:12PM

I used an external antenna on the roof with an in-line amplifier and tied -- Hokie5150 06/30/2016 5:48PM

That would work well. -- Newt 06/30/2016 6:28PM

Yep, $40 (or less) for a good digital antenna and you are good to go ** -- hoosnowahokie 06/30/2016 2:00PM
