That's the point, you can still cut the cord and keep your sports.

i'm pretty sure w/ sling tv, you still can get watch espn with that account. otherwise, no matter what you want to watch is available.

the nfl package may not be the entire sunday ticket, but add a simple multi directional antenna behind your tv, and still get the nfl network and espn games streaming.

it is cheaper for me to get the mlb package, hbo, showtime, and netflix plus espn than hanging onto directv or cable.

ESPN planning web-based offering with niche sports and some college -- Colonel Jessup 07/08/2016 3:21PM

So basically the ACC is going to get a "ESPN 3" type of channel? -- EDGEMAN 07/09/2016 9:14PM

Columbus indicated it will be multiple platforms -- ahokie4u 07/10/2016 09:30AM

Correct. The ACC's "network" will amount to streaming via espn3. ** -- Atlee Hokie 07/09/2016 11:10PM

And my internet provider does not allow ESPN3- -- KnoxHokie 07/10/2016 4:21PM

If you go after a niche market don't you get niche-like profits? -- Hokie Dale 07/08/2016 7:57PM

For the most part yes ** -- nebraskafaninwi 07/09/2016 10:18AM

Smartphones and apps were once a niche market. Be patient -- ColumbusHokie 07/09/2016 12:55AM

The ACC is in a good spot? -- 33laszlo99 07/09/2016 6:28PM

Yes, the ACC is in a good spot. The channel we make us more money and -- ColumbusHokie 07/09/2016 8:55PM

Is it $ or $$$$...that is the key. Anything less than comparable... -- tcc_dc 07/10/2016 5:42PM

Except there is no way in Hades, I'll watch a sport on a phone. -- Atlee Hokie 07/09/2016 2:19PM

If you hold your phone close enough to your face it will completely block -- hokieball 07/10/2016 7:56PM

I agree with that, but I know a lot of people that do. -- Hokies23 07/09/2016 5:31PM

Many apps are available on Roku. I use WatchESPN through Roku on my TV. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 07/09/2016 4:40PM

True. I use watch ESPN app on roku -- ahokie4u 07/10/2016 08:55AM

Phones are world wide, not a niche market -- nebraskafaninwi 07/09/2016 2:15PM

Now that I'm using Sony Playstation Vue, I'd like to see it there. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 3:49PM

It was also just offered as a channel on roku. -- ahokie4u 07/08/2016 7:16PM

I chose Sony Playstation Vue because it has all three news networks. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 8:56PM

And how much does Sony Playstation Vue cost? -- Atlee Hokie 07/09/2016 2:24PM

It has different bundles just like cable does. -- HOO86 07/09/2016 3:55PM

I just added vue on roku -- ahokie4u 07/08/2016 9:50PM

I've got 2 televisions going. I've had no issues with it. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 10:00PM

It is working now -- ahokie4u 07/09/2016 08:02AM

Very Good! I can see an ACC Network on this very easily. -- HOO86 07/09/2016 10:58AM

Do you need a PS4 for Vue? -- Lead Dog 07/08/2016 9:09PM

No. Just Roku. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 9:37PM

I will take a look thank you. ** -- Lead Dog 07/09/2016 12:34PM

The only potential drawback I see using the WatchESPN model -- VTHokie2000 07/08/2016 3:58PM

Chromecast works well with ESPN 3 -- TerryD 07/09/2016 11:12PM

No monthly fee with Chromecast** -- Genegantslet 07/10/2016 08:10AM

Roku, AppleTV, Slingbox, etc. replace the Xfinity Box and still use the TV. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 8:43PM

I would love to cut the cord, but I need my sports. ** -- Lead Dog 07/08/2016 9:12PM

That's the point, you can still cut the cord and keep your sports. -- Hokies23 07/09/2016 1:25PM

Look at the Playstation Vue channel lineup. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 9:44PM
