I constantly hear that sports is what prevents people from cutting the cable cord. Considering people are paying as much as $150-$200 for their packages, I don't see $20 per month being what hinders their success. It's all about content.

just a quick update, i've been using this for 3-4 days now and i love it. no xbox one app quite yet, but when it's ready this will completely eliminate my need for cable tv. netflix + hulu + slingtv is ALMOST all the content i can handle for <$50/month. now i just need to know how much HBO's standalone app is going to cost me (gotta have GOT).

Love it. The interface needs serious work but the quality of the stream is excellent.

$20/month is more than I pay for Netflix and Hulu a month, combined. But if you're one of those that has cable just for ESPN, you'll likely save some money with Sling TV.

Interesting long form article I read recently about Disney's (ESPN parent company) quest to continue to innovate. Apparently they are locked into agreements with the cable companies that prevent them from offering a better online solution.
Does anyone know if HBO is in the same predicament or are they just greedy?
